Actually, I didn't think the tank was big enough, especially for those sharks. I mean most sea creatures move great distances, not an area that isn't even as big as a city block.
Even those that are born and raised in captivity have migrational instincts... etc.
And yes, I went there, paid the admission, so in some respect, I'm guilty of 'feeding' the fenzy so to speak. But the older and hopefully wiser, I get... the more likely I won't do it anymore.
It's like when we owned our birds. After thinking more and more about how they're natural habitat is, how much freer they are and how most of these 'pets' are 'gotten' in the first place... I'm changing my mind.
Like you said earlier, dogs and cats have actually been bred for thousands of years to be what we keep them as today... 'pets'. Yet, at the same time, I even question that anymore, especially in my current situation.
