In the dark mysterious place were I write my shit and prove to the world that my marbles are steadily rolling down the hill there is a slinky hanging from a nail by the door. As this is obviously preventing said slinky from assuming its favoured, comfortable, position I wondered if so curtailing the creature could be deemed torture?
Should I set the slinky free if it be torture? or maybe dream up new and brutal ways to stretch the slinky to the fullness of its capabilities? Assuming, that is, that said action is not considered torture.
