capture

Capture. I immediate thought of animals. I hate to see little creatures in cages, deprived of flight, freedom or quality of life. Today in Chinatown, I saw tiny turtles spending the bright afternoon hours in plastic crates stuck between the Louis Vuitton knockoffs and cheap baubles. I wanted to set them free, but couldn't. I had a turtle when I was a kid, but I guess seeing them in the sun, teetering on the edge of the table like some dispensible little inanimate object, made it seem all the more inhumane.
