WE WANT REAL AQUATIC ANIMALS LIKE DOLPHINS

[Mhakna]

Please Planet Zoo, add Real full aquatic animals like dolphins or killer whales, sharks, etc. Without that the game wouldn't be complete and the community want them!!! We deserve a real Zoo with real aquatic animals.

I've seen some cases of killer whales freed, but it all depends of how they interact with the animals. Of course if they make them loose their hunting abilities that is going to happen.

I am only aware of one that was removed from a zoo in the last decade. It was flown to a long deep fjord in Norway that had a net placed at the sea end and staff log cabin built so an eye could be kept on it. To do that it cost £5,000,000, even though transport was provided free.

Orcas and dolphins should never be in captivity, which is why I am glad Planet Zoo doesn't have them. For one thing, it's impossible to meet their space needs. For orcas, captive orcas have been ripped out of their family pods, which causes them extreme anguish - as you cannot build an enclosure big enough for one, you sure as hell can't for an entire pod. Dolphins have committed suicide in captivity.

This game is all about education and proper care for the animals. As such, I think it's great they don't include whales in it. Keeping whales in captivity is like keeping a human in a zoo, but in solitary confinement. There are people working towards getting whales rights like human rights because there's arguments they are as smart and as aware as humans. This is also something people are working towards with the great apes, but you can at least make the argument that you can have great apes as part of a breeding program to save the species in a zoo. You cannot make the same claim for whales because, again, they suffer beyond measure in captivity.

This logic doesn't make any sense. First of all it's a game. Games are not reality.
Second of all, no wild animal should be kept in a Zoo in real life. Most african elephants also get depressed in their small enclosures and their needs also can never be met by a Zoo, since they walk at least 25km a day and live in big families. They also very rarely breed being captive and therefore get caught and imported illegaly, yet here they are here in the game. The same thing goes for most wild animals which are part of Planet Zoo, so your argument does not make any sense at all.
Parks which are truly focusing on rehabilitation and conversation do not allow guests, because they try to get the animals back into the wild, not use them as entertainment and avoid getting them used to human contact. I can't get my brain around how you are so eager to defend one sepcies but ignore the exact same points that can be made for all the others.
Zoos are never appropriate for any animal, so if you want to make a point about political correctness, you'd better advocate for the game to be taken off the market completely. (which would also be complete nonsense of course because it's a game)

I enjoy playing this game a lot,because I love watching, learning and caring about and for animals but I would never visit a Zoo in Real-Life for previously stated reasons. After all it's great that I can watch digital animals and not contribute to the suffering of real ones :)
Your specism is weird and it comes out in the worst possible way.

So yes to a real aquatic dlc with actual underwater animals!

They said along time ago they would not be putting aquatic animals because of
the real life controversy and the removal of them from aquariums
I know of a game called aquarists that allows to build and take care of sharks and fish. I play it when i want to take care of fish.

lmao no one thinks orcas when someone mentions dolphins. They imagine a bottle nose or something similar.
