I saw this video and just had to share it with you. This is the second largest aquarium on earth in Japan. I know quite a few people who are anti aquariums and anti zoo, and I can understand their reasoning behind that. I however believe that there are so many people who would never learn about these creatures if it were not for these institutions. I think its a way to explore nature and learn something new, and allow people to respect the wild, most of the time without leaving a big city. It’s one thing to read about something in a book, and another thing to be able to see some of these endangered creature up close and personal, not everyone has the money or time to travel to see these creatures in their natural habitat, but that shouldn’t prevent them from learning all they can about them. That’s just my thought.
