Abstract

The article focuses on the changes taking place within zoos, which are losing their anthropocentric character. This is influenced by new, ethical approaches of people operating within these institutions. The analysis also touches on the awareness of discrimination against certain groups of people and its impact on the oppressive treatment of animals. The intertwining of the fates of humans and non-humans makes their fates similar. This is alluded to by authors of literary testimonies. With the help of their work and previous activities, they try to subvert, allowing for the change of meanings and humanization of human and animal subjects. The argument is based on Antonina Żabińska’s prose Ludzie i zwie­rzęta (1968) and Patryk Pufelski’s diary, Pawilon małych ssaków (2022).
