Jesus. This place has become PETA central.
Fish don't have the cognitive ability to care that they are in an aquarium. This anthropomorphizing shit is ridiculous and people have to stop. Rats do not sit in their (often lavishly appointed) cages and intellectualize the fact that they can't exit at will. "Oh my life would be so much better if I lived in a sewer in Brooklyn." Sad face. :( Humans are the only animals that engage in such self indulgent fuckery. It's what makes us "special".
News flash to you PETA ass lickers: THEY HATE animals. They hate animals so much that they have killed virtually every dog or cat that they have taken into their shelter in Virgina. Thousands of them every year.

Also: if you actually cared about animals you would know that dogs make much better pets because they're not destroying the fucking planet with their homicidal ways.
