I’ve discussed this before but, unfortunately, in the time we live in now there’s always going to be someone who takes something in media the wrong way.
It’s an unfortunate side-effect of ‘Fake Deep Culture’ when people want to be media critics but they know that no one will take them seriously unless they give copious sprinklings of words like ‘racist’, ‘sexist’, and ‘problematic’.
Just create what you want. That’s the greatest justice you can do for yourself.
These are great items because they’re fun for the herbivores to each, the carnivores to tear apart, and everybody to roll and throw around. They’re tactile, olfactory, and edible enrichment all in one!
I believe they’re acceptable on-exhibit enrichment for naturalistic facilities like Brookfield in Chicago, too.
I think of this time of year as Tumblr’s Annual Pumpkining of the Animals Post.
The bat though!
This is the best thing!
Our local pumpkin farm gives any unsold pumpkins to the zoo!
