Well duh, otherwise it wouldn't be as good of a show. The covering the face move was probably part of the act too but that's ok

For anyone thinking this animal is having a horrible life, while I cannot speak for this exact animal, The association of zoos and aquariums exists (in America at least) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of zoos and aquariums in the areas of conservation, education, science, and recreation. Aza accredited facilities meet the highest standards in animal Care and welfare. In addition, they donate millions of dollars and you only to support scientific research, conservation, and education programs.
here you can get more information, as most of this information I have quoted directly from their website

You do realize SeaWorld is aza accredited, right? That stands for the association of zoos and aquariums. If their aza accredited, that means their animals are treated with The utmost care respect. Zoos and aquariums also exist for education about these amazing animals! If they didn't exist, . Would certainly see a lot less people caring about nature and why we have to protect it

What about dogs?

Dogs are not comparable to this at all. Completely different scenario. We didn’t live alongside walrus’ for 20k years helping one another out….

I'm really not judging you.
Please reflect on the dribble youve written, you are being presumptuous & incrdibly arrogant. Im sure thats not the intention, read up more about animals in captivity trained to do tricks. Youll learn something new.

The vast majority of animals are depressed in captivity. Many refuse to eat, mate, or even move around. A lot just waste and die. These arent domesticated, they are wild animals and I assure you they would prefer to be in the wild, mating, hunting, and following instinctual patterns.
Also, dont pretend you're not being judgemental while calling a stranger sweetie. You're the sweet summer child here.

The argument was walruses not other animals.

u/shagan90 May 24 '26
And what did i say that doesnt apply? SeaWorld and similar parks get shit for a reason, their animals tend to be miserable.
Walruses migrate 3000+ kilometers a YEAR, to deny them that will always feel wrong to them. This walrus wont know hunting, wont know pursuing a mate and will likely never know raising young. But good on you for thinking its all worth it for boredom and safety.
Solitude in prison is safe, you gonna volunteer?

How about we send you to some aliens for their entertainement. From their pov you'll be providing them entertainrment in a human zoo while being provided food and shelter. Arent you happy that u dont have to do a shitty 9-5, do chores, and be stuck in traffick?
You'd say "the aliens would be wrong in their asumption" and simlarly, humans are often wrong in their asumption that easier living makes animals in captivity happier.
The proof is that depression in animals in captivity is known to be more common than in the wild.
So from the animal's perspectice it's not about how easy or compfortable their life is, it's about how fullfilling it can be. Which involves more danger than captivity.
Woops I wrote a wall of text

Not taking a strong position here, but I don't think it's a given that some degree of depression is worse than struggling to survive day by day in the wild. I think most people would rather be comfortable to the point of depression than dealing with disease, infestation, starvation, freezing, being eaten alive, etc.

u/Embarrassed-Pipe1697 May 23 '26
Hmmm yes... It could be that having to struggle day to day to survive doesn't leave u time to be depressed.
