There are a lot of zoos that are bad and unethical, but the ones that do it right serve a good purpose and shouldn't be lumped in with the bad ones.

the law for that stuff is weird where they can just confiscate animals. it should be like "you can't sell them" but if you somehow own one you should get to keep it unless you treat it like poo poo

you shouldn't be able to sell bears at the bear store but if you somehow have a bear in your household it should be fine and if it attacks you it's your rear end

The only difference de facto between a society where selling bears in a bear shop is legal, and owning them is also legal, and a society where selling bears in a bear shop is illegal, but owning them is legal, is that the bear shops are run by criminals, and that is why both selling and owning bears is illegal, you liberal.

What about a society where the bear shops are legal but it is illegal to own a bear?

I'm sorry, I wanted others to post their opinions for me and that is not right.

I think it would be better to have a society where you could sell bears but not own bears, it's the best of bear sale laws on the table today

So the customer pays the store owner to free the bears? It's a strange business model, but I guess I don't see anything wrong with it.

Okay but how do you get around the right to bear arms? Surely if they're laboring with their arms and I own the bear's arms, I would by association own the work they've done?

The bear's lawyer argues in court that the bear has no arms, only legs. Thus you are not entitled work produced with the legs.

You would still be able to send messages to people in time zones where the internet is off, they just wouldn't receive them until their internet came back on.

I'm convinced that 100 people in the world like Mindy Kaling, and most of them work at NPR. The only times I ever heard about The Mindy project was when NPR did a story about it or interviewed one of the cast members, which, I swear to god, once happened three times in one week.

People who make a big show of being repulsed by ranch dressing (or mayo) are just dumb.

Also americans are not even like top ten most mayo- and cream-happy countries but internet idiots have decided excessive mayo is a US thing.

Lol one of my mates had a girlfriend that would make him put his own mayo on sandwiches because it was soo icky.

Same girl came out with us to a curry house once and had chips and an omelette
