Imagine you are a crocodile. You were born in the Everglades, which is a really nice neighborhood, if a tad hot. A curious sort with a touch of wanderlust, you vacation in the Dominican Republic. You are happily living the good life, and can expect to be around for about 50 years, although if you take care of yourself you may last longer, like 70 or 80 years. Some hearty crocs even make it to 100! Life is good.
The trouble is, your skin is so pretty that humans like to wear it,
since their own skin is not all that attractive. In fact, you've heard
stories of actual concentration camps full of crocodiles where they are
born and raised in captivity, then killed for their skins! So you are
careful to keep a low profile. But one sunny day you let your guard down and are
basking in the sun and chomping on some fish when suddenly somebody
stabs you with a spear and drags you into a boat, and next thing you
know you are a handbag that costs $38,000 in some fancy boutique, or
maybe even $55,000 because it was designed by a celebrity. Then again,
you could end up as a really swanky t-shirt for $91,500 and live in a
New York City penthouse.
I suppose those are all better outcomes than just
becoming a few dozen pairs of $500 shoes, but still, it would be so much
better to be left alone to live out life naturally, raising your young,
eating fish and swimming.
