KC remember my apt. cat analogy. Here's a tale on acquatic park whale that shows that a being taken care off will never fare for itself: <<despite attempts to teach Keiko to hunt for his own food, he remained until the end largely dependent on his team of "guardian angels," who followed his every move in the wild and often fed him the 40 to 50 kilograms of fish, mostly herring, that he required each day.>> Why welfare is bad: <<The orca was captured as a young calf off Iceland in 1979, and spent most of his life in captivity, mostly in water theme parks and starring in movies.>> A guy Elmatador type: Yet the efforts to free the whale did not sit well with everyone: an Icelandic fisherman offered to kill Keiko and make "60,000 meatballs for the starving children of Sudan." They've spent USD20milion in this exercise of reeing the wahle that didn;t want to be free. It just wanted an easy life!!! japantoday.com
