Incomplete question. I assumed you are referring to the article <em>"Excerpt from Marine Mammals in Captivity" </em>by The Humane Society of the United States.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In that section, the author provides real-life examples that back his claims about why animals should be taken from their natural wild habitat.

For example, the author stated, <em>"The very nature of these animals makes them uniquely unsuited to confinement." </em>He further continued by stating how Whales and Dolphins naturally love to travel long distances every day,<em> </em><em>"they are always aware, and  always moving."</em>

The author made a lasting point by adding, <em>"Understanding this, it is difficult to imagine the tragedy of life in no  more than a tiny swimming pool." </em>With such expression the author no doubt causes the reader to think about the sudden changes experienced by these living organisms.

From the story: "Freshee's Frogurt" by Daniel H. Wilson: Based on the context, what does "tele-robbery" mean?
Vesna [10]

Answer and explanation:

This is the context in which the word "telerobbery" appears in the story:

<em>Nothing changes on its face or anything, but I get a pretty bad feeling right then. I mean, an even worse feeling. And, sure enough, I hear the servos in the thing’s arm start to grind. Now it turns and swings me to the left, smashing the side of my head into the door of the pie fridge hard enough to crack the glass. The whole right side of my head feels cold and then warm. Then the side of my face and neck and arm all start to feel really warm, too. Blood’s shooting out of me like a [...] fire hydrant. </em>

<em>Jesus, I’m crying. And that’s when… uh. That’s when Felipe shows up. </em>

<em>Do you give the domestic robot money from the register? </em>

<em>What? It doesn’t ask for money. It never asked for money. It doesn’t say a word. What went down wasn’t a telerobbery, man. I don’t even know if it was being remote controlled, Officer … </em>

<em>What do you think it wants? </em>

<em>It wants to kill me. That’s all.</em>

<em />

From this passage, we can understand a man has been attacked by his robot. The officer who is asking the questions to understand the reasons for the attack asks if the robot wanted money. The man then answers that what took place was not a telerobbery, that he doesn't even know if the robot was being remote controlled. <u>From those clues, we can safely assume telerobbery is a robbery performed by a robot that is being controlled by someone or something that is not present.</u>
