Last December, before I retired, I met JR in a Chinese restaurant. We were both having lunch with separate groups of friends. I took a photo of the tank the shrimp were in. You may not think the way I do, but, from this photo, I believe it is pretty obvious that these shrimp were asking me to rescue them.

Shrimp are highly intelligent--not quite like dolphins, but definitely sharper than cockroaches. They can read people's minds and instincts (if not the other way around). If I were to buy another aquarium, I would definitely populate it with pet shrimp.
