I was showing my dad a video of wildlife rehabbers getting a baby potoroo ready for being eventually released from the wild. He was a baby, so naturally he was being bottlefed. Some of the formula dribbled and the handler wiped it away and my dad derisively goes
“Yeah that’s gonna help him! Wiping his mouth!”
And I just needed to share the utter Shawness of thinking wiping a baby’s mouth is coddling and ruining the kid’s chances of success and survival in the world XD
Shaw’s takeaway from Free Willy is that you should never let children into your operation, let alone give them the reward of a JOB as PUNISHMENT, because they will steal your property and release it into the wild just because you were trying to murder it, AS IS YOUR RIGHT, for the insurance money! What a chilling tale of puerile sabotage indeed.
