(46,179 posts)I do my best not to hate anything, as I find hate to be self destructive, rather than destructive of the thing I'm hating.
That aside, I don't like or support with my attendance the circus or animal amusement parks. I do support some zoos, though, because, unfortunately, they are the last places that some endangered species exist, and they do make an effort to keep species viable. They are also good places to educate people about the world they live in. Way too many people are disconnected from the non-human world, and that allows the destruction of habitat for human gain to continue.
I'd prefer, though, a concerted effort to reduce the human population, restore habitat, and share the planet rather than consume it on our part. What I've found, though, is that no matter how supposedly progressive people are, they draw the line at national or global population policies that would reduce the human population, and at the eradication of capitalism.
