minus-squarerobotica@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up20·5 months agoWow, that must mean that we’re in captivity! /s Even if animals in captivity did live longer (which @WallEx@feddit.de contradicts), wouldn’t it make more sense to think it’s because of better treatment and healthcare?
minus-squaretestfactor@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up9·5 months agoTo be fair, he’s not contradicting the intended statement. “Animals in captivity” usually refers to zoos/aquariums/etc in this context. They are just pointing out that animals raised for food are also “animals in captivity,” and have dramatically reduced lifespans.
minus-squarecuerdo@lemmy.worldOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·5 months agoFarm animals are not animals in captivity. Captivity implies being captured and being held captured. It is about wild animals that do live longer in a control environment albeit loosing their freedom. Animal farming is a different animal
