Pavlov would be proud
There are definite traces of 'The Island of Dr. Moureu' here, but the main influence is most definitely the experimentations of Russian Scientist, Ivan Pavlov, who proved the existence of habitual responses. He experimented with dogs who came to salivate upon hearing a bell which they knew would be followed by food, instead of waiting to see the ration itself. Thus was born the understanding of "conditioned response." Which, in the long run, opened up the whole world of commercialism to programmed human response {the 'Ping' is the thing!}. As a matter of fact, as I write this, it is his birthday - he was born on this date {IX/XIV} in 1849 c.e. <

> A quiet, unassuming older gentleman hides a secret life & alter-ego. He is the owner of a pet shoppe & caretaker of the resident animals. Up front, what one might expect to occupy a pet store --- cats, birds, lizards, snakes, tarantulas, rabbits, hamsters, etcetera. But hidden behind secret doors, beneath the establishment, he keeps lions, tigers, & a beautiful black panther fro the eyes of the world. Well, besides it being illegal, as he kept these beautiful & wild creatures incarcerated 9in small cages, he has formulated a sick plan. An unnatural & cruel obsessive technique of "discipline", which would be pure unbalanced sadism, if it weren;t for him being so deranged. Indeed, some of the world's greatest 'evils' were done in the name of 'good'. And I paraphrase: <

>"Imagine a zoo without bars, where you can roam amongst the animals freely without fear of attack or misbehaviour." <
> <
> He is a veritable 'evil' Dr. Dolittle. The procedure goes as follows: If you hear a buzz, do not touch the bars - they are electrified. If you hear the bell, proceed to poke your head out through the bars to eat your supper. <

> Probably the type of scenario the ASPCA people would imagine occurring in laboratories, but no, in reality, they are much worse. <
> <
> Sadly, one of the great cats is electrocuted - accident or suicide? I believe it was the latter. It seems she just became sick & tired of being forced to live under such conditions. <
> <
>Besides this disgusting display of needless cruelty, which bears echoes of "the lamb laying beside the lion" christian drivel, the actualy eventually arises a Satanic precept in the manner he dealt with thieves . The owner {Cushing} needs someone to look after the store & mind the animals while he is away for a time. A young zoologist answers his query, someone the owner could trust with the secret of not only the animals, but the safe as well. After the initial shock wears off, he agrees. After the owner departs, he hatches a plan to rob the elderly storekeeper - but lo behold, a trap door opens beneath him, sendin him plunging into a cell - a perfect cage created for human habitation. <

>It was planned all along. <

> "All it takes is the right bait." <

> On this, I fully agree. <

> Now he has a human animal to experiment upon & train. He gets the buzz & bell treatment, & it works marvellously. <

> This is how prisons should be - by their crimes, felons have forfeited their rights, not only teir freedom, but any luxuries as well. It is apalling to see the accomodations these lowlifes enjoy. They certainlt have more resources within the prison that without - it has gotten so that they do not mind returning to their "home away from home". This is utterly ridiculous. <
> <
> By their crimes, they have become second class citizens {perhaps even third class - a new classification?}, if they even are citizens at all, that is! <
> <
> I propose a simular technique of behavioral correction be applied, to coincide with the Legis Draconum of Graffitti & Gangs: The Satanic Solution. Electrify the doors / cellbars {just enough for a good strong shock that will send them reeling backwards}, that they may not wish, & even dread returning to such a miserable environment, & at the same time forewarning them of the deadly consequences which will follow {i.e., the electric chair}, if they kill some innocent in the process of the commission if their crime. They should be given immunity if they kill one their own kind {again, see Graffitti & Gangs: The Satanic Solution}. <

> Back to the review. Subsequently, young man's girlfriend finds him down in the cage, & is soon also outsmarted by the shopkeeper, & she gets pushed in as well. Then they are both subjected to psychological tests & manipulations - he is the puppetmaster. <
> <
> In the final test, a section of wall slides open - beyond, freedom. They take the bait. They rush home only to find the entre house has been rigged into one huge electric cage. <
> <
> But the true horror may rest deeper, as the shopkeeper himself was pushed into the human cage by the black panther. Ergo, the Silent Scream.
