Some people are gonna skip some dlcs, thats just how it works.
If youre not into ungulates youre probably gonna skip the arid pack, or pay 10€ just for the porcupine.
If youre not into european animals you gonna skip the europe pack.
No idea why this would suddenly become a problem with a petting zoo pack
True, but for anyone who isn’t a child, children’s zoos aren’t the highlight on a zoo trip. Families with kids probably love children zoos, but ones without and go alone most likely will skip petting zoos.
I think combining the sentences before and after and other statements can better understand what others mean, not just one sentence. I think what Charlie means is that people spend money to go to the zoo mainly to see the wild animals, and the domestic animals are just accessories. Just like going to the zoo, you can see tigers, elephants, orangutans, and you can also see some domestic animals. But if you go to some farms, there will be domestic animals there, but there are no tigers, elephants, or orangutans. A hypothesis is that a place called a "zoo" has only domestic animals and no wild animals. In another place, there are no domestic animals, only wild animals. Which of the two is more popular? Which one is closer to the original meaning of the word "zoo"?
Yeah so? Antelopes arent the Highlight of a zoo visit for most people either. But here we are with like 12 of them
I'm just posting these screenshots, that's all. If you carefully read what I said in this reply, I think you should understand.
Yeah I honestly don’t know where I was going with that
Pls read the meme above and realise how silly you are rn
Its okay to not like domestics but denying that they belong into zoos is madness
Exactly my reaction to this entire chat
I’m gonna say my opinion one more time. The goat is a zoo animal, but it is more recognized as a farm animal, less as an acknowledged zoo animal, which makes it less known than animals that are staples in zoos like zebras and lions.
Originally I didn't want to talk to you. But since you used insulting words in this discussion, I can only ask the administrator to handle the matter.@HeatherG
(PS: If you cannot express yourself with ordinary vocabulary, but use insulting language, it only means that your language organization ability is really average, and does not mean anything else)
I definitely don't agree with this. At least in the game，The attractiveness of 10 American bison combined is not as good as that of a tiger

I think what's even more foolish is that if this DLC is truly worth everyone's expectation, then no one would argue for more than a dozen pages here.Does anyone at least oppose Mountain DLC or Amazon DLC?
I think, at this point, everyone understands you would not like to see a Domestic DLC. Fair and understandable! To each their own, no problem.
It's okay to say your opinion, but could you please stop calling domestic animals "accessories" and further objectify them? For some of us, domestic animals (including farm animals) are darlings, part of a family, and worthy of loving. Not accessories, side dishes (?), or things like that. Maybe not the main stars of the zoo, but does it matter? Perhaps an ostrich is also not the main star of the zoo either, so what? You can still like to have it in the game because it fits in.
And saying we should switch to a farm game to see those animals in the game is weird. I wouldn't say I like to farm anything. I like seeing animals playing with enrichment items and having fun.
If you are willing to share your thoughts I would like to know if you dislike domestic animals in general OR the domestication process. Do you perceive domestication as a purely negative phenomenon?
I come from a city, and I have never lived in a rural area. But I'm here to tell you clearly and unambiguously that I don't think cows are as special as tigers. You can only represent yourself, you cannot represent anyone else. I am willing to launch and even spend money to launch a poll on some online platforms for urban people. The question is: Are cows and tigers equally special? I think the result must be different from what you think.
There are plenty of local places with a ton of domestics and a few wild animals - which started out as a visitable local "farm" with local domestics, then started getting foreign domestic races (e.g. Llama, Yak) to attract more people then ended up with a few common wild species (often parrots, wallabies, maras, etc). The Ferme Exotique near Bordeaux developed in this kind of pattern, for instance.
Another common thing is zoos focusing to some extent on saving rare, endangered local domestic breeds - Nordhorn in Germany is such an example. Nordhorn is roughly half domestics half wild animals, and it is very popular - moreso than neighbouring Rheine, same size but with no domestics. It's not always true than zoo focusing on domestics are less popular.
Here are a few examples of other noteworthy things which have to do with domestics : the architecture of domestic zones in many zoos are quite unique, since those places often try to recreate farms - in fact, in a place like Vienna, the zoo's domestic barn is actually a very old barn moved to the zoo for this purpose ; and there are a few places, like Zoodyssée in France, mixing domestics with local wild animals to talk about the biodiversity of old, pre-industrial farms which allowed many bird species, rodents, and small predators to live in the ecosystem created by farmlands ; and which are today locally endangered because of industrial farming.
And, on top of the classical domestic, there are exotic domestics which are often exhibited alongside wild animals in zoos - of which we already have a few like the llama, but we could use many more : the watussi breed, the heck's auroch, the domestic yak, etc.
So, yeah, there's a bunch of interesting ways to exhibit domestic breeds on top of the classical "mini-farm", all of which would be interesting in a game like Planet Zoo - for all those reasons, I'd buy a decent domestics pack in the heartbeat.

Can you initiate a vote in the community and let's see which dlc will be the most popular? I would like to know where the farm dlc will end up
