"It is important to exhibit animation."

People who collect animal figurines. Or: people who like fish. Not as edibles, but as animals. People who appreciate fish.
In Japan goldfish are bred for decorative deformities. (Here dogs.) Then kept and severely appreciated swimming about inside well-lit little fish tanks silent inside small lonely paper apartments in towering highrises, or whatever.

Now. A marksman. "Give me some time with the body."
The spot of the person filming undercover. On a factory farm. A slaughterhouse.
Or: the position of the one - policeman or military person - who has to restrain a desperate loved one, in a hostage situation or whatever. There are those people. To have to forcibly gently hold a stuggling desperate stranger, in their arms, a forced hug, and that's just their job at the moment. What do I care. I am very predictable. Everything is very understandable. Just give me some time with the body.

Out of all the people I have met I would prefer to have met none.
I have met people - choiceless or foolish, I have met people: and would prefer never to have met any one of them. There is nothing I would like to keep.
(The name Daspletosaurus almost always makes me laugh.)
