| Interesting and so true. There is definitly two camps on this one. I have bonsai that have trunks big enough to stop the forward motion of my wife's Honda stuffed into pots. To my dismay, most people are horrified when viewing such a creation. When I see a killer whale stuffed in a public display, I get that same tortured look on my face and I have to admitt, a 38 inch fish probably deserves more than 10 thousand gallons. Maybe we should be putting on public display koi that are raised from scratch in our own ponds and discourage the display of "Shamu" koi that find themselves living the ballance of their lives in restrained tanks. I think Iam going to plant that bonsai in the ground know that I am feeling guilty. |
