Ooh, what a fun little piece of fic! Reminiscent of writings and shows that take the concepts of technologies that are just in their infancies, and extrapolates them out to (often dystopic) futures. Or maybe I shouldn't say dystopic since I 100% believe that if people had access to dinosaurs and the like, they'd be just as irresponsible as they are with the current stock of creatures, which would mean labeling... *gasp* REALITY as a dystopia :o!
Hah: at any rate, it all sounds pretty spot-on to me. I wish I could say it is unrealistic for the narrator to work in rescue but hate bird-like animals and make jokes about killing them, but experience tells me this is 100% a phenomenon in the rescue community, albeit generally directed towards reptiles. Only one little line of text caused me to fumble a little, and it is a nitpick: "Only the cage likely kept Jose safe at all;" I'm not sure it needs to be there, and if it does, the likely seems either ill-placed or unneeded. Critter is being aggressive, it's fairly definite that it would be tearing shit up without the cage.
Nice to see you dabbling outside of your normal comfort zone/world!
