Lost At SeaWorld
My first field trip was supposed to be a riveting one. I was about four years old, addicted to chocolate milk, and had a constant rush of energy. The day of the field trip all of the tiny chil-dren were about to explode because most of us have never been to SeaWorld, let alone know what it was. Our tiny brains couldn’t comprehend what SeaWorld had to offer besides the enor-mous black and white whale on the permission slip we gave our parents to sign.

The bus ride to SeaWorld was one of the worst bus experiences I’ve ever had. They announced three to a seat and everyone’s mood changed. The children were thrilled to sit by not one, but two of their best friends. Except, the few unfortunate kids in my position who sat with their par-ents, or the kids who were known for getting in trouble were forced to sit with teachers. We were all sweating like pigs. I thought I would suffocate sitting between my mom and my older brother, who thought the field trip would be a free ticket to explore SeaWorld.

When we arrived to SeaWorld we all darted to the kiddie area. I ended up crying within ten minutes of being there. This day was is when I realized I had to hold my nose using my two fin-gers to prevent water going up my nose or I’d turn into a whiny crybaby. Soon enough, the kid-die area became tedious in less than an hour.

My mom wrote multiple emails about our experience and I was transferred to a different preschool the following week. I never knew what happened to my partner in crime, who I wandered off with. My mom gave me the sternest preschool lecture she could, before giving me the most pain-ful spanking I’ve ever had. Yet, I continue to be a busy body to this day, this was just the begin-ning of my personality developing for the first time, as a carefree person. In the end, I’m able to say it was a field trip I’ll never forget, the day I got lost at

    How would you feel if you were taken away from your home, taken away from your family, for the enjoyment of others? How would you feel if you were left in a tiny box with very little food? This is how we treat animals for our own personal and selfish benefit. Human benefit should never overrule any damage or destruction to these innocent animals. You may ask, what have humans done in the past and present to hurt animals?…

    Imagery In Blackfish

    Through the use of imagery portrayed by the grisly events that occur in these amusement parks, the juxtaposition present in the sequence of the scenes, and the points of view depicting the documentary, it is demonstrated that marine amusement parks, specifically SeaWorld, are incapable of taking care and protecting their animals and other humans, and, thus, should not hold these animals captive. Firstly, imagery is used to paint an image in the viewer’s mind of the grisly events that occurred in these parks. For instance, the death of Dawn Brancheau, a trainer, was not shown but rather described in a gruesome manner so that the viewers could visualize the atrocity for themselves and wonder how a human could have ever been expected to swim side by side with such an enormous and unpredictable animal. The scene was described by a paramedic and the words were shown in typewriter font on a black screen so that the viewers could both read and listen to his account.…

    Traumatic capture and breeding techniques, abusive training tactics, and improper living areas are just the beginning to all the terrible things Seaworld has hidden within its walls. Purchasing tickets to Seaworld shows support in confining and abusing animals as well as denying them their natural born rights to a family and ocean home. Tell the world that what Seaworld is doing is not okay and never purchase a ticket!…

    Studio one will transform into an industrial engine room of a underwater shipwreck. One of those dirty unseen rooms with frightening looking machinery that you must wear a hard hat to enter. The audience will be sitting in proscenium style with their chairs on risers. Aspects of the set will leek their way into the seating space. Machinery, pipes, frayed mooring ropes and grated platforms will be above their heads.…

    We’ve all heard of it. The amazing SeaWorld. But how would you feel if you knew of the abnormal things they did to their sea life? The average killer whale swims about 400 miles a day, but at SeaWorld, they are confined to the equivalent of a bathtub for humans. Their tank is much shallower than their ocean, so when the orcas get sunburnt, they are covered with black paint.…

    After visiting the park several times and witnessing the Shamu show first-hand, my family were left wondering ‘’how do they do it?’’ The reality of this family friendly fun-for-all park is far from pretty. It is a SeaWorld of hurt, abuse and neglect. In fact, it is a prison for animals.…

    I fidgeted uncomfortably on the hard, green plastic seats around the stage and semi-circle shaped pool, resting my arms on the sides of the seats. I grimaced at the sight of bird poop on the armrests and quickly removed my elbows off them, placing them on my lap after checking for scat on my sleeves. It was a long wait before the Blue Horizons show started at Seaworld, San Diego , and all I could do was stare at the oddly shaped plastic waves on the stage, and the rainbow balloon-like “bubbles” on them, and listen to my brother whine about how he was hungry, and beg my dad for more beef jerky. My dad adamantly refused to give my brother any, saying that the show would start soon. I had to watch a tug-of-war with the beef jerky package while…

    Looking through the lens of retrospect hasn’t truly helped me decide the question: If I could go back and change the decision I made last August, would I? The choice I made to skip a line to save about an hour of our time was risky, careless, and poorly planned, but technically it was a success. If only no one had questioned us in our attempt, then this would barely be an inside joke, much less an essay. After our first experience at Magic Mountain, my siblings and I had the bug.…

    Captivity of Marine Mammals: The Negative Effects Of Keeping them From their Natural Home When visiting marine mammal parks, feelings of excitement and enjoyment flood minds everywhere. Even though excitement and awe is filling visitors minds, many do not know that the money they are disbursing is being used to help fund a worldwide issue with how the animals are being impacted at these facilities. Marine mammal parks have negative impacts upon the very animals that they propose to help, and while it would be devastating to close these parks, no more marine mammal parks should be allowed to be built; their capture programs should be halted, and their focus should turn exclusively to rescue and rehabilitation.…

    Every year, around fifty million people visit Disney World in Orlando, Florida. Fifty million people trek across the country to see a giant blue castle that seems to touch the clouds and a human-sized mouse that wears bright red shorts. When I was fourteen, my family and I joined those ranks when we set off on a family vacation down south to the “Sunshine state”. Mine and my little brother’s eyes sparkled with childlike joy as we pulled into the enormous parking lot, and we were fit to burst as we scrambled past our parents to tumble out of the car. That day was one of my favorite memories, and even though it has been fourteen years, I can still remember going on my three favorite rides as if it was yesterday.…
