Aquariums are complex because just like me she really likes them the issue is that the aquarium needs to only keep animals that can survive and even thrive in captivity

Sea animals aren’t like land animals, many of the bigger and more impressive ones migrate around the world to eat and breed, many species of shark and whale never really settle down anywhere, choosing instead to just swim around and follow food

However that doesn’t mean all sharks or whales can’t live in captivity, the nurse shark for example is actually perfect for aquariums due to its more docile nature, smaller sharks that tend to single habitats can also thrive as well

I don’t think it will ever be ethical to keep things like great whites or most types of dolphin or whales, they’re just too big and require too much space

I’m completely fine with rehabilitation however, the idea is nice but the thing that always bothers me is how it may not be easy for the animal is able to reintegrate with the real ocean ecosystem. From what I have read about it tho a lot of experts seem to be conflicted about how orca rehabilitation and population stabilization should be handled, so I really don’t have a firm opinion on it.

Oh and if I see any animal at all doing tricks I’m getting my gun that shit is inhumane.

Gee I wonder who asked this?

Honestly it will probably be pretty pleasant, the two couples aren’t super high energy or whatever, and Skadi and Alya are pretty close already, same with Havelock and Nearl.

I could imagine them going to some beach or park and just having some food and vibing, they don’t seem the types to go clubbing or something crazy like that lmao.

They all have pretty stressful lives all things considered, so a moment to chill and socialize a bit would be big for all of them.

Although.. Havelock is probably going to do most of the talking for Skadi, luckily Alya and Nearl are fun to chat with, and Skadi enjoys being around them, even if she doesn’t have much to say.

On top of that Havelock would probably feel a little starstruck going out with the radiant knight and her GF. Must be strange to see nearl in such a casual setting. He, like many from Kazimierz, idolize the Nearl family.

I am actually quite curious at how Havelock and Alya would get along though, both are friendly and generally pleasant so I don’t think there would be anything bad, but how would they chat? Would one be a little nervous meeting a friend’s partner? Eh probably a little but after a couple minutes together I’m sure a lot of tension would disappear and they’d be fast friends.
