I want to have my own theme park with animals (zoo or something like that)

Hey.
I thought that this world is boring, not entertaining, full of politics and negative vibes etc.
I thought first about having a circus (with animals), but got to know that circus with animals is no more in many countries, including my own Poland.
So, how do I get funds for a little amusement park, zoo, with the clown and acrobat show. But of course, I will take care of those animals and absolutely reduce animal cruelty, as I hate this thing.
I want to revive my childhood memories (WITHOUT EXPLOITING CHILDREN, ABSOLUTELY, ALSO I'M A WOMAN - sorry I referred to Michael Jackson's accusations alas).

There is no non cruel way for a circus or an amusement park to exist. Think of someone taking you to be the attraction in an amusement park.
To be touched, fed, be made to do things for amusement of others, never being at rest, again, touched as they want all the time, be ridden, taken away from your family and natural environment, enclosed, no freedom.

Anything that has money involved in it=abuse.
Sanctuaries for rescued animals and rehabilitation centers that don't allow the animals to be exploited and interacted with in any way are mostly OK.

But anything that you need to pay or have immediate access to a wild animal is exploitative in nature.

Zoos are insane. I won't even discuss zoos and circuses. Circuses force the animals to "perform" with punishment. No tiger would obey a human if it's spirit is not broken. Or bear. Or any animal for that matter other than dogs.

@greensnacks I see, you have an authoritarian approach for animal care. (which means total separation of humans and animals) What about telling people they should be careful with petting (given nobody forces animals to be petted) or feed animals appriopriate food, instead of human food. Again. It's tiring to present my views, I don't think that it's helpful for those animals, who will end up being poached or some scam "environmentalist" organizations will in fact kill those animals.
As I said, safari parks solve the issue and animals decide if they want to interact with humans and when or not, while people drive by car (can be electric).

@rush2112 nice slapping that label on me, that helps you see the larger picture and tries to force me into category in your mind.whatever I don't care about that.

As for the rest, I think I'm going to getting off at this stop.

I delivered the information, my point is not to debate you and prove you wrong or right, but to deliver information and awareness, and it's up to you and your critical skills to do the rest of the work.

✌🏼

@greensnacks OK, but I still stay with my views on this matter. Remember, there are more tigers (privately owned) in Texas than tigers in the whole world.

Maybe these Reddit threads would help in you deciphering what I mean?
Yes, I want to form a safari park, where animals would roam free.

@rush2112 if you get some investors to fund you. what would be the return, you would have to charge admission. business license .

Do it either create a charity or get rich business people to help you out there’s plenty of them that will sponsor as long as they are profiting from it as well

@rush2112 no there’s nothing wrong with helping animals when they you are breeding them and looking after them and making sure they are fed and loved 🥰

rush2112 · 22-25, F

@Monalisasmith86 And as far as they can roam free or/and have good conditions.

Monalisasmith86 · 41-45, F

@rush2112 yes as long as they have space to roam freely and interact with each other

RedBaron · M

But you’re obviously OK with exploiting animals by cruelly keeping them captive in cages and enclosures.

OK then.

rush2112 · 22-25, F

@RedBaron Are you kidding me? I'm willing to form a safari park, where animals will roam free.

Circuses and zoos should be banned

rush2112 · 22-25, F

@Lilymoon Not all European people want to see their boring fauna and most people remember their childhood as being able to see animals IRL, not only on the Internet.

Lilymoon · F

@rush2112 🤦🏻‍♀

rush2112 · 22-25, F

@Lilymoon I don't see exotic animals in the wild being killed by poachers as better than zoos or non-abusive circuses (I aim to build a theme park).
