Why not?

Hi. I'd like to ask you about this edit, since your given reason is not in any guides for FP and I can imagine two ways of reasoning to reach your conclusion. Do you think that pictures of domesticated animals should not be featured because (a) they are easier to shoot than pictures of wild animals, or (b) it is ethically wrong to keep animals in cages and spreading pictures of those animals is thus questionable? If (a), does that include all domesticated animals, like horses, dogs and cows? How does availability disqualify pictures of animals, but not of plants, buildings, people, etc.? If (b): The zoo at hand is a domestic fauna zoo with large enclosures of the animals' natural habitats. The zoo is involved in the task of preserving endangered species as well as educating the public on domestic wildlife. Personally, I think they are doing something good, but you may of course think differently. /Dcastor (talk) 12:46, 20 April 2010 (UTC)
