Little Girl and her Carpenter Pet Bee

Julia and her pet bee "Lemon".
ravermansays...

Imagine breaking your leg in a strange world and being taken by a giant insect 1000x your size... who feeds you mashed meat off the end of a tree trunk. Isolated from any one else... kept in confinement... and 'petted' by a giant antenna that could crush you at any moment.

I bet he's screaming for us to let him die.... If only we could hear...

Jinxsays...

Imagine having less than a million brain cells.

I'm with Jinx. Plus, in my experience any animal with enough brain cells to actually contemplate its own situation like that (say, dogs or cats) will refuse to eat if it feels that its time has come and it is physically unable or not allowed to wander off and die in peace.

In other words, while I'm surprised that the bee is physically capable of that lifespan, I don't think it is capable of feeling that it is being cruelly held in some sort of "Johnny Got His Gun" nightmare life. And if it was, it would also be capable of refusing the food offered to it.

I also feel that way about hired NPCs in video games.

They have NO CHOICE but to follow you around. And then they are doomed to a near eternity of no movement on a digital save that you play *maybe* once 10 years from now because you're feeling nostalgic.

But you don't remember how to play at the save point from 10 years ago because it's too hard and the last thing he does is die unmercifully before you eject the cartridge and toss the game back in storage.

What sort of hell is that, man? Much worse than injured carpenter bee land.
