for "fish" read "dog" -- or "chimp" or "elephant" or "cat" or any other captive animal
"If you have an aggressive goldfish, providing enough space and some hiding places usually fixes the problem, as it gives all fish enough space to move around so they are not bothering each other."

manuscript copy editors always provide a bespoke style sheet, and I think they also serve as a kind of crib notes for the book...

so much to unpack!

cows are not domestic (?!). cattle ranchers sued the government (??!). and humans have found another way to be horrible (!!!)
"A federal judge ruled this week that feral cattle in the Gila National Forest are not domestic livestock, and upheld the authority of the government to remove them from the forest by shooting them from a helicopter"
