Q. Why did Maxwell put the otter back in the box? How do you think he felt when he did this?

So, in order to reach the airport, he had to put the wretched otter back in the box. Maxwell would have felt pity for the otter’s miserable condition. He would have been feeling bad to put it again in the box, even after findings that the it disliked being in the box.
