My Tank Thread
My Aquarium Showcase
We all act as a god sometimes. Whether it’s smooshing spiders or “nuking” aiptasia, human beings decide the fate of many creatures. Ethics are subjective to the individual. I believe most people want to do the right thing, but our methods aren’t universally accepted. That being said, I believe in aquaculture instead of wild harvesting.
If we wanted to do what’s best for the animals, we probably wouldn’t have reef tanks, imo. Instead the animals would only be available for zoos and scientific research. I believe there will never be a scientific consensus on morals. It is not something that can be measured objectively.
