Empty the Tanks

When we drive to New England we always make a pit stop in Mystic Connecticut. Standing on side of the parkway on Saturday was a group of demonstrators holding signs that said "Empty The Tanks". They were protesting the Aquarium and the belief that fish and other aquatic animals should be free. The protesters believe that every living thing needs freedom. Standing in the group of protesters was a man with his dog on a leash. I wanted to yell out of the window that he should unleash his dog. It is a mixed signal to say free the fish while you are tethering a dog to you. Somehow that diminished the meaning of his protest.
