Don't mind me, i'm just tickled rotten that an owl named Flaco escaped from Central Park Zoo last week and has since evaded NYPD capture

"Flaco’s week of freedom had been busy: a stop on Fifth Avenue near Bergdorf Goodman; a face-off with a Cooper’s hawk; at least one close encounter with a squirrel; and stops across the park’s southeast corner, never far from the zoo but tantalizingly just out of reach."
my mans said "love fashion, but fuck captivity!"
I know that's right, Flaco!

May Flaco's sojourn to freedom inspire the abolition of all zoos and all Eurocolonial animal conservation efforts!
Totally agree with your base sentiment but there's no need to employ such self-chastising language as "Eurocolonial".
