are sea monkeys ethical?
on one hand, selling something living to literal 5 y/os is never going to end well, so the creatures are going to die horrible death in a plastic toy tank
on the other, the so-called sea monkeys are the literal bottom of food chain and mostly bred as live feed for fish anyway while a supervised 5 y/o might love them dearly and they seem to be fine with a plastic tank (unlike fish)
SEA monkey is, like, Philipinos, Malaysians and Indonesians, right?
@tomie
They are bottom feeders, so I see them aboutas ethical, as leaving a rotten banana in a plastic tank.
And also, I see them about equivalent value as a pet. If my kid wants to watch some microorganisms, so be it, and my heart won't hurt when I throw it away.
