Saying "they are just your friends on the street" as if it was some kind of critique is plainly stupid. There are hundreds, millions of amazing photographs in which you'll only see the photographer's friends, family, etc.

I don't think taking pictures of anything at a zoo is either good or bad; it depends on how the shot is taken and how the animal is being treated at the facilitity. There's nothing wrong with going in there and taking a shot, since other people are going to be doing that even if you aren't. The least you can do is go in there, take a photo, and do justice to the animal youre photographing. (pic related, as it was taken at a zoo)

Yea i knew someone would point that out, maybe i didn't express myself too well.

I don't like zoo's, it find them degrading, the zoo's I've been didn't really offer the best conditions to animals and they get to live the rest of their lives in a cage with a bunch off idiots taking pictures and pointing at them, that is very stressful to animals.

But now you can say "but they protect some endangered species etc etc", well that is bullshit, in the first place they are endangered because of you, second this should be some kind of government priority to invest in protect endangered species without needing to show them off for money, this can be achieved by actually using your tax money for useful things instead of making bombs and etc.
>> Liska !!LIVFOETqL8j
>>231143

I understand where you're coming from, but the fact of the matter is that even if a few people care, the majority of the people out there will still hunt them for money, etc, for a particular part of the animal (like elephants- the reason they're so extinct now) and so on; you're giving humanity too much credit, and too much faith. Unless there's a miracle and we magically learn everything there is to know about every animal in the world, there will always be zoos and animals in them.

if the conditions in your zoo are really bad, though, you CAN start something and make a difference there if you put your mind to it.

What the hell are you off on? I'm a bigger stand-on-principle-and-critique-the-shit-out-of-stuff-down-to-the -root guy than anyone I know, and I think you're being unreasonable and insufferable.

Of course there's tons of problems with the conditions in zoos. Of course most countries overspend on their military. Of course it's (usually) human activity that makes species endangered today.

But that absolutely does not mean:
Taking pictures from dozens of yards away with a long tele does not stress the animals any more than they already are. It's not like you're shoving a full-frame 14mm in their face. You're standing far away from them.

Zoos shouldn't exist, animals shouldn't be shown, etc. The purpose of zoos is just as much (if not more) educational as conservational. It's one thing to read about a jaguar in a zoology textbook, it's another thing to see it in person, and yes, it's another thing entirely to see it in a more naturalish setting than in a small pen.

Other budgetary concerns and conservation funding are mutually exclusive.

A better way for him to phrase this is "they are endangered because of the practices of a system you participate in daily."

I think the underlying problem with his argument is he's complaining about animal conditions of a world class zoo. The Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo is fucking incredible. The cat exhibit is a little out of date, but it is one the biggest ones in the world and they have intentions of enlarging and updating it. Omaha takes excellent care of their animals.

Also its less stress to take the animals photo in a zoo than it is to hunt it down the wild, get within 20 feet of it up a tree and take the shot. Except since I'm out doors in less controlled conditions it will probably be multiple days of tracking the same animal to get the shot I want.

Degrading? Animal+food=happy, pretty simple. Most the animals are not even self aware god damn.
