    No, the tiger does not need “enrichment”, it needs to be set free. Do not accept being caged as the normal and don’t be gaslit into thinking the toys you get is “enrichment”.

    Reject the premise altogether.

      I’m with you. There’s a word for this. It’s called zoochosis, a play on psychosis. The animals in zoos play with their faeces, eat their faeces, pace, sway etc, because they’re BORED FUCKING SHITLESS. A tiger, like all animals, do not deserve to be locked up in prison and gawked at by idiots with cameras for the crime of being born the wrong species. They’re smart, emotional, deep animals. They are emotionally intelligent. They have feelings. Fuck zoos so fucking hard.
