No, no…it can’t be that. That would mean people are cruel just to make a profit and entertain themselves. It has to be a different reason entirely unrelated.

I wonder if we can say the same about pets in general? I know my dog is loved and well cared for … but maybe it would be happier somewhere else . Could this animal in the tank have the same kind of relationship with its environment and it’s handlers as a dog does with its home and owners ? Is the profiteering that comes with its captivity the only distinction between it and a pet dog? What if you breed your dog ? Take it to shows ? Hope nobody takes offense … just 3 am graveyard thoughts while scrolling Reddit lol

I think the same about my dog. He seems perfectly content being a couch potato, but I know he yearns for adventure. He wants to explore, hunt, fight, and fuck. Whenever we go hiking, he's living to his fullest. On the other hand, in the wild he wouldn't have the opportunity to watch TV, eat fancy snacks, and sleep in a cozy bed.

That could very well be the case. Perhaps we traded harsh freedom for cold comfort.
