Well how else would you suggest people come in contact with the wildlife of this world?

By going to their habitats?

obviously critical in making people care about protecting it

No. Zoos are not critical in making people care about protecting wildlife.

Why not save animals from unsafe/illegal conditions and provide enrichment, without turning the animals into an attraction?

You don't have it in you to express your view then, I see.

You might prefer one of the available options.

What options are you talking about?

I asked you why I would vote. The options I see are to vote or not vote.

it's a part of your duty to vote

ROFL "duty"?!

I'm absolutely astonished that you would come out with such a ridiculous, anachronistic idea. Tell me, what precisely happened in your life that gave you the idea that I owe anyone any kind of duty simply because I was born? Did you watch a Disney movie?

Clearly in your mind there is a logical chain from some starting point to the end point of voting being a duty. I challenge you to write this down in words. To express your idea lucidly and rationally. Convince me. I dare you to try. Do you have it in you? Or can you only embarrass yourself further?

Christ the British electorate is ignorant beyond belief.

Because you're the sort of person that says "ooh both sides are the same"

You have no idea what kind of person I am. You're jumping to conclusions.

At least everyone else is trying to improve their lot rather than just moaning about it. Which is you've elected to do.

Not voting doesn't imply not improving one's lot. I have not elected to not improve my lot.

you are a stubborn jackass

I'm not going to reduce myself to your level by telling you what I think you are.

[–] rah@feddit.uk -2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Because you have the chance to change things for the better

How?

and if you don't take that chance but still keep complaining about things then all you are doing is pretending you care

Complaining doesn't imply caring. If my neighbours keep me up until 2am having parties on school nights and I complain about that, the complaining doesn't mean I care about anything beyond my own wellbeing.
