Haven't been here in a long while, but your views remind me of a debate raging at another forum about whale sharks, which are said to be endangered... whether a certain integrated resort company should proceed with its plan of catching one or two whale sharks and putting them in a show tank...for education and research or as cash cows... depending on which side of the fence you're on.
