Should aquariums exist?
Hooks
"If you were in a bathtub for 25 years, don't you think you'd get a little irritated, maybe a little physcotic?" Reporter Jane Velez-Mitchell said in the documentary Blackfish.
If you were torn away from your family and forced to live in your bedroom for the rest of your life, would you go abit crazy?
Thesis
Aquariums should not exist because the practice of putting animals into captivity is inhumane and wrong.
