1. They really should paste a sticker on those
Edited on Wed Apr-13-11 12:08 AM by Newest Reality
that says, "These creatures are like the workers of the World. They are captured, put to work and given just enough of what they need to stay alive for a time. They are useful until they die!"

That product is a horrific metaphor for our relationship to life and this planet. It fits perfectly and should remind us of our reality and our fate.

2. I can't believe this is real! Those turtles are Red-eared sliders (I have 2)
and they grow to be 12 (male) and 18 (female) inches in carapace length! Those goldfish are Comets, and they can easily grow 14 inches! Not only that, goldfish need LOTS of oxygen, more than any other fish (I have exotic goldfish). They're suffocating to death. This is horrible. These poor creatures are destined to die a horrible death!
