    Many American families believe that SeaWorld is the best family vacation spot with its many parks all over the country. A typical visit to SeaWorld includes petting dolphins, visiting the aquarium, and being splashed by a majestic Orca. While SeaWorld may seem family-friendly, it definitely is not animal friendly. The tourist attraction, also known as SeaWorld, tortures its animals by ripping them from their homes and families, placing them in pools that might as well be bathtubs. Although families enjoy taking a trip to SeaWorld, they would feel a lot differently if they knew about the constant pain and torture inflicted on SeaWorld’s animals.…

    Why Orcas Should Not Be Kept in Captivity For many years killer whales have been brutally used in the entertainment industry. These mammals are not only being used for public display, but are being treated unfairly. Instead of being left alone in the wild as they should be, they are being taken away not only from their homes but from their family. Many people may not know this, but behind closed doors at the various Seaworld's, located all over the country, these creatures are being held and “cared for” in unsafe barbarous water tanks.…

    I chose this topic for my poster as not only is it a current social injustice problem, but also a serious one. I feel the need to stand up for the animals of SeaWorld, as they have no voice of their own. All animals that can not live without humanity should be able to live as normal as possible. For example, the animals at SeaWorld could live at open-sea sanctuaries, if they can not be returned to the wild.…

    Recollecting to my childhood memories, I remember the trips my family and I took forth to Seaworld. As a child, I admire the polar bears and penguins behind the glass, the splashing of Shamu’s tail towards the splash zone, and the ride of Journey to Atlantis. I never really thought about if the killer whales in a big concrete pool were happy at such a young age. Now, there has been a big controversy on the captivity of the marine mammals, especially the killer whales.…

    Marine biology has always been a passion of mine ever since I first heard about it when I was four years old. My family has a deep-running connection to the ocean so when they realized how interested I was in science, they suggested marine biology. I loved the concept of studying unknown creatures that sit miles below the surface of our planet that no human has ever seen. I’ve read many textbooks and field guides over the years, which started as an amusing pastime. However, the more I read, the more I became completely and utterly engrossed in the subject which eventually shaped me into what I am today.…

A prime example is that of the dodo bird, which was famously hunted into extinction. Around 20,000 species are currently listed as threatened by extinction by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).…
