Yeah. They think there's 5,000 in Texas. Yeah, yeah. Well, you know, there's also other animals that are in Texas that are exotics like scimitar oryx, which is very rare in the wild and is endangered in the wild, but is so common in Texas that you can hunt them. Yeah. and they have them on these enormous ranches, 30,000, 50,000 acres, and they're wild, but they live wild.

I don't have a problem with that. If they could figure out a way to actually ensure that tigers could be kept in a 60,000 acre preserve, and you had adequate funding to where the fences were completely monitored every day to make sure that they don't get out and kill people, you're talking about a different thing.

But what you're mostly getting is small enclosures of tortured animals who are fed cold meat. And that is not what they want. It's not what nature intended them. They're the cleanup crew. They're everything that has a limp, anything that's slow. They keep populations down. They make sure there's not an overpopulation problem of undulates. That's what tigers do. That's what they do in the wild.

And so all of their instincts, everything, their essence of their being – is all stifled by being captive. We were talking about giraffes, that they're the only animal that I don't have a problem with at the zoo, because they're so chill. They're so chill. Babies feed them.

When my daughters were young, we'd take them to the zoo, and you could hold a piece of lettuce, and the giraffe with his giant fucking head that's as big as his table would come over and gently take the lettuce with their tongue, and we're so confident that they have no aggression towards people, that we allow little babies to feed giraffes. Giraffes don't seem to have a problem at the zoo.

They seem to be totally relaxed with it. But there's a lot of animals where it's nothing but torture.

Yeah, like giraffes. I think giraffes is the only example.
