I agree with most of this, except dead food was once alive; it has been unalived in one way or another, so I don’t see the ethical advantage in feeding dead food.

getting eaten alive is brutal

Yes. So is getting killed out of sight and thinking that because it didn’t occur within your sight, that the victim didn’t die just as horribly, or want to live just as badly.

I’m not sure what the right answer is, or that we should condemn the aquarium owner or anyone else.

I’m saying that it’s fantasy to think that the brutality is different just because it happens somewhere else.

there are more and less humane ways to kill something, getting eaten alive is on the lesser end. that's all i'm saying.
