SeaWorld is a harmless environment for whales but in reality it’s undermining animal’s instincts and natural habitat. Whales are forced to adapt to conditions they are put in, and what animals they have to be around. SeaWorld is not an ideal place for animals, nature is. Whales should not be kept in captivity, because of separation, loss of instincts, and not natural environment in captivity. Whales are forced to deal with being separated from their families in captivity. In this viewpoint, “Orcas are highly
Fall I have always been very fascinated by whales, my interest grew so large that my parents eventually took me to SeaWorld. I was so entranced by their size and beauty that I was blind to see the fault. Ever since SeaWorld opened their doors they have been in the wrong. Orcas are taken from their natural habitat and dropped in tanks to perform for a paying audience daily. It is not even safe for trainers to work with the whales, many trainers have lost their lives doing so. Trainers
That is exactly what happens to these poor orca whales that are harshly captured and put into captivity for the sole purpose of human entertainment. Since 1961, at least 148 orca whales have been put into captivity (4). These whales are taken from the wild away from their pods and unwillingly put into aquariums where they are forced to perform for our entertainment. Although some people believe there is nothing wrong with keeping orca whales in captivity, it is detrimental to their health and it is
DeAsia Fairley McCabe ENGL 1900 Help the Helpless The Killer Whale, better known by its scientific name Orcinus Orca, it is actually one of the largest members of the dolphin family (Rechberg,726). Ms.Rechberg says that the name Killer Whale came from the interaction that Orcas has with other whales. Orcas were first placed into captivity in 1961 (Jett and Jeffrey,1362) and put on public display in 1965 (Rechberg,733). These predators were once hunted because of their aggressive nature but now
Killer whales should not be taken from their homes in the wild. They should not be captured just to amuse people. They are not meant to entertain humans. They are meant to be with their pods and be free. Life for killer whales is way different in the wild than life in captivity. In the wild orcas tend to stay within their pods and travel up to 100 miles a day. Killer whales are like children. Think about if you had a child and someone came and took him/her away… how would you feel? You would be
life of captivity while the rest are slaughtered. And every year millions of people unknowingly contribute to this excessive killing by giving business to its largest supporter, SeaWorld. Surprisingly, the SeaWorld organization also happens to be the biggest promoter of marine life research and conservation. But I am going to share with you what SeaWorld doesn’t want you to know and persuade you to boycott this company, First, by sharing with you the case against marine mammals in captivity and second
Thus, it becomes a matter of fact that Orcas do not belong in captivity as they are ill suited for it. The latest data published by the Orca Project Corp shows that orcas are more than three times as likely to die in captivity at any age than they are in the wild (Rose CNN). This incredibly high mortality rate is attributed to various factors. One is the general lack of shape captive Orcas are
The idea of giving animals rights has been debatable for a while now. But where exactly do we draw the line? Should only certain animals gain these rights, such as domesticated animals? Or should they range to animals stuck in zoos, and animals slaughtered in farms. All animals should be given a certain amount of rights, that is obvious, but some animals are, and should get more rights than others in my opinion. To start off, when most people think about where their meat comes from, they usually
When parents take their children to aquariums, zoos, and marine parks they never really think about where these twenty-two thousand pound orca whales are forced to stay, or where these four hundred pound dolphins reside for most of the day. Any time they visit an aquatic park, such as SeaWorld, or an aquarium, such as Shedd Aquarium, the animals seem happy, the workers seem to enjoy themselves, and the atmosphere is fun. People visit these places for the experience and the excitement that comes over
when I was a little girl, and was take to Sea World. I was fascinated by the enormous size of the Orcas or known as Killer Whales. At that age, I would of have never believed the truth that lies behind the glass mirrors. After watching a 2014 documentary on Netflix called " Blackfish", and researching more in depth about Sea World, it has led me believe why Sea World should not exist. The Orcas were living freely, traveling up to a 100 miles a day in pods and packs. A disruption of this freedom
