I kinda got the 'prison' vibe from helen. Yes, she did see the abbies as sentient creatures, but I felt they were portrayed as sentient creatures that had to be locked up for their and 'our' protection.
I got a zoo vibe from the habitat tour, and kinda of that Victorian 'us english (humans) are so much more advanced than you primitives' attitude. Kind of like the attitude that the british and others (even americans) had against various native peoples. 'educate and protect and show those poor primitives how they should be living'
I just didn't get the they all had to be locked up vibe, obviously some do. I just think that some people extrapolate incorrectly that a habitat = prison. They showed Steve as being sentient and out helping Ash & Henry but also staying in a habitat.
