I don't think we should keep carnivores in captivity.

And why does our "long term chances of survival" matter. Because we are conscious feel beings, just like animals.
No, because I am we. I need to have absolutely no moral justification to rank our long term survival infinitely above any kind of welfare for anything else whatsoever.
Any system of morality which does not stop short of trying to ensnare this foundational reason d'être of any mode of behavior, including a tendency towards morality, is again ultimately self defeating.
It would be a virus that kills the host when the survival of the host is the necessary condition for furtherance of its own purported goals.
