Sea World Adventure - Becoming Gentle Giants
Yeah, they are big! They are also trained to entertain. And they do wow the crowds. It's amazing how they are able to respect their puny trainers and are able to do tricks on cue. Have we really mastered the beast? Or is it the other way around?
What if these mammals are highly evolved that they have trained man to feed them and shelter them for just playing around? Could it be possible that they are cunning enough to pull it off? What we see as a tamed beast is, after all, a devious creature capable of playing with the intellect of man. If not, what's stopping these hunters of the sea from eating its trainers should they fail to give in to their whims?
Well, that's just me...but what if?
I live far from the sea and we have nothing like sea worlds. I would like to visit one, because of the aquaria with smaller fish and the imitation of coral reefs... But large animals should be in the nature and not in such small tanks... And teaching them to tricks seems like an abjection to me.
ReplyDeleteAnd I think, that people still do not know what is going on in the brains of other animal species, so it easily can be, that there are animals with the same intelligence like we have. Just we have the advantage of hands, because you can do much things with them, like building devices.
And why they do not eat their own trainers? Maybe it is the same like with dogs. They will not eat you, because you give them food which they like more than human meat :-) But who knows...
