I know they can get away from them...the question is it right to put them in the position that they want to get away from them. Chasing them in a confined space doesn't seem like something they would be enjoying. I don't think it would be good in the open water, much less in an aquarium.
Just my first thought when I watched it.

Got to admit that I share the same feelings. I'm not quite sure why such a controversial Aquarium would want to draw even more negative attention to itself....
 
I wasn't even going to get into the debate about whether it is right to keep animals like that in an aquarium. There may be something to be said about giving thousands of people a chance to see these amazing fish who may never get a chance to otherwise. But in my opinion, there is nothing to be said about chasing them around and using them as your personal entertainment just because you have access to some equipment and the aquarium.

To me it just looked like a "hey, look at me, I have a scooter and a camera" video.
