5 Minute Freewrite: my statement
My statement
My statement is the thing I state. State state state state state. There's a cat. In a house. House house house house house house house house house house house. That's fun to type. I played with Mario teaches me to type game when I was a kid. I'm having dejavu about typing that just now.
My statement. My statement. I yiyiyiyiyi yi. So there's a thing in a shoe and it's starting to poke the heel of the elephant. The elephant is getting loopy and may fall over, and everyone beware.
What's a thing you think will be deemed cruel by later generations? I kind of think zoos. I mean zoos have already been deemed cruel, the kind of zoos that used to be, that probably still are in some places. But we still, as a society, feel pretty good about big zoos that have big enclosures. But I think someday those might be deemed cruel, because we're still caging wild animals. I know someone who recently helped open a new Seaworld in another country and I felt like....oooh. Ew. Seaworld. I have never been but I don't ever want to go and they do seem like not cool places. And I looked at photos of this new one and it's all indoors. Like every part of it. Yuck. Are aquariums cruel? Maybe. I dunno. The thing is, I like aquariums. Are they more ok than Seaworld?
I have to confess I don't like zoos for this reason and as a young mother we went to a marine land in Canada and went to see an orca perform in that little pool and I was filled with overwhelming grief, so much that I cried in my seat. I don't cry in public so that was not normal. I never went to see another act like it again.

Aquariums are more ok than Seaworld, yes. Because Seaworld explicitly traps demonstrably intelligent creatures and abuses them.
Are Aquariums "ok"? I dunno. There's surely a version that's ok, where animals who are being nursed back to health or who were too injured to live in the wild anymore are, and I don't think we need to worry about cruelty to sea urchins or jellyfish... I don't think. I mean, at what point is a creature being in a human-controlled environment more cruel than them being not. And how much space do they need... if the creatures can have enough space to be happy...
Oh, I just don't know!
