Gimme A Friggin Break

Now I don't know the entire story behind this because KTUU offers very little information about Mocha, the seal pup rescued from Naknek.  That's ok, because no matter how much information is given- I'll still let it fly.  They can sugar-coat it all they want, and I'll still think the same.  It's all fine and dandy that they've 'rescued' such a cute little creature.

In my eyes, it doesn't matter how this cute little creature got into a situation where he/she needed rescuing.  This 'rescuing' shouldn't have taken place.  This may sound evil to many people, but I'll hold my ground.  This cute little creature is meant to live in the wild, and if it can't live in the wild on its own- then it'll go to the place high in the sky.  This is natures agenda.  The strong will survive, while the weak may not.   

On to the Sea Life Center.  I've been there and have seen all they have to offer.  Even looked out the window and saw a whale in the distance.  Cool place.  They have starfish that the little kids can touch.  They also have some not so cool sights.  In one of the tanks were two or three different types of crabs.  They were slowly wandering around the bottom of the tanks.  They were also eating each other alive.  This was a horrible sight to see.  I can't imagine trying to explain this to a five year old kid.  Outside, there was about an eight foot diameter pool that had I think an otter inside.  It wasn't banging a clam on a rock on its belly.  It was swimming in a circle non-stop.  Swimming very fast.  I asked one of the employees there if it was unhappy because of the little tiny pool it was in.  She said it was happy.  And that was it.  Nothing more.  Oh. 

I would probably pay money to visit the Sea Life Center again.  Maybe I'll see my little prisoner buddy, Mocha that was 'rescued' from Naknek.  I'll probably stare Mocha in the eye and see the misery he/she is going through living in confinement.  Poor little Mocha.
