Dunno why you were downvoted. This is a legitimate position, even if you might disagree.

The downvotes are because in 2018, people believe the only legitimate positions are ones in which they agree. The others must become greytext, since they might convince other people.

Because it is cool to hate on zoos. Zoo attendance is down. Schools are afraid to take kids to even the best and most ethical zoos, but look at all the zoo-based tv shows. We want to see and learn about the animals. We just dont want to be seen seeing then.

The thought of kids only seeing sharks in a VR helmets is more politically acceptable these days. That future fills me with dread. Too many people hate sharks already.

Lol, the votes on my previous post are bouncing between -3 and +2 every minute. It is more devisive than trump's twitter feed.
