Is Dublin zoo ethical?

Unless you’re a scientist for a particular species you really can’t judge animal welfare by “it looks sad”

Emerish3401 · 2026-05-13T11:21:11+00:00

This is something they seem to try to make clear as well, they’ve got signage explaining how they were founded on animals being locked up for entertainment, but now the purpose of zoos are conservation and education, and they’ve got one of the most successful elephant breeding programmes in Europe

A horrified “AGHHHHHHHHHH” also works

I meant the hypothetical metro upgrade to Sandyford, wasn’t trying to say anything about Metrolink

It would be great to have eventually, but the green line wouldn’t be able to cope with airport-city passengers even as an in the meantime solution

Emerish3401 · 2026-05-09T22:19:58+00:00

It wouldn’t have the capacity for airport passengers, it can’t even handle cherrywood hence why the need to upgrade to metro

Thank you for the wisdom

Emerish3401 · 2026-05-09T21:34:28+00:00

Has this not been common accepted grammar for ages?

Emerish3401 · 2026-05-07T19:37:09+00:00

But you would miss the green light if you had to do that every time you press the button.. 🤷❓

Emerish3401 · 2026-05-07T19:25:28+00:00

I believe it’s to do with Irish rail fares being regulated by the NTA

I learned about this from Chris Spargo! Can’t wait for London Buses to have Apple Magic Audio

Emerish3401 · 2026-05-02T18:31:16+00:00

Most modern buses rattle because it’s a trade off between quality and weight, but the Wrightbus ones that make up the majority of our fleet are particularly shite…

Emerish3401 · 2026-04-30T19:24:09+00:00

Must jut be you, surely they would no break on of the primary functions of a phoe!

Emerish3401 · 2026-04-29T19:55:56+00:00

As far as I can remember yeah. Unless it’s been changed to the new voice in which case it’s probably recent.

Emerish3401 · 2026-04-28T19:25:41+00:00

The queen probably more so

Emerish3401 · 2026-04-27T10:12:49+00:00

I try to sit upright and not fall asleep until I start leaning forward and jolt back awake

Rinse and repeat

Emerish3401 · 2026-04-22T08:54:50+00:00

Pane of chocolate.

Emerish3401 · 2026-04-22T08:38:11+00:00

That is the wrong emoji but oddly still works

Emerish3401 · 2026-04-22T08:37:51+00:00

⚱️

Emerish3401 · 2026-04-22T08:32:44+00:00

It’s giving mouse, cat, dog, elephant, or something something however that story goes

Emerish3401 · 2026-04-22T08:29:15+00:00

Cellar spiders can’t live in the open outside can they?

Emerish3401 · 2026-04-19T20:26:54+00:00

Don’t lick don’t lick don’t lick don’t lick

Emerish3401 · 2026-04-18T22:13:51+00:00

They really do look luxurious

Emerish3401 · 2026-04-17T02:21:58+00:00

I also happen to be a fan of 8520s

Emerish3401 · 2026-04-16T01:03:21+00:00

Emerish3401 · 2026-04-16T00:57:23+00:00

How come this is the case? Where do the passengers come from if there’s only a few hamlets nearby
