PETA: Annotated Bibliography

Improved Essays
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) should be disbanded because they are hypocrites; they have problems with themselves, pets, people who make internet videos that are clearly fake and just about anything they can turn into propaganda. PETA is deranged, their website, themselves, the propaganda they spread. All of it is deranged. Before I go on to mention the stronger of PETA’s propaganda and lies I want to mention a YouTuber named Oicthatu812 he make a video that had a cat paw a tooth brush. The tooth brush was plastic and had wires and a battery. Electricity isn’t conducted this way, but clearly fake sparks were added for comedic effect. PETA harassed this person so in response he made another video telling them to leave him alone in song form along with telling them that the video is fake and some comedy. This shows that some people that work for PETA aren’t intelligent. I do understand that might be the case in some of the propaganda PETA spreads, but that isn’t the case in all of it. This is a fact to keep in mind when looking into PETA’s past. …show more content…
I looked at one of these articles pertaining to San Diego. I have seen Sea World and the orcas seem like bigger pets more specifically trained dogs because they are trained with treats and they appear well taken care of. Anyway back to the article Sea world plans to expand. PETA is trying to prevent Sea World from being allowed to bread the Orcas. This is a bad idea the Orcas are endangered and though these ones would stay at Sea World. They would be taken care of and loved like a pet. Sea World also rescues animals and releases them into the wild. I watched a video of the Sea World side of the story and about the care of the

    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.…

    As of December 2012, 138 reported cases of captive orca attacks upon trainers and visiting pedestrians at SeaWorld and other marine mammal parks have been recorded, three of which resulted in death. The number of reported cases of orca attacks upon humans in the wild is zero (Orca Home). PETA, SeaWorld of Hurt, the Orca Project, and various other organizations contend that SeaWorld 's detainment of orcas for the purposes of entertainment is abusive and violates multiple animal rights. The Orca Project has found captivity of these whales leads to whale to whale aggression, social strife, boredom, and various health issues that lead to their premature deaths (The Orca Project). However, SeaWorld maintains that captivity of these whales is not harmful to the…

    Why Seaworld’s Orcas Should Remain In Captivity Many people may argue that it is wrong for Seaworld to take orcas from the ocean and their families, but seaworld hasn’t captured a wild orca since the late 1970s for anything other than for rehabilitation purposes! The controversy over Seaworld’s captive orcas has been going on for decades. Seaworld ended its iconic orca shows due to the massive outcry of the public. Many feel that these animals have a right to be free, but others believe that releasing the orcas would mean certain death. Captive orcas should not be freed despite the outcry of the public; if they were to be freed, they would be socially isolated, they would not know how to survive on their own, and they wouldn’t be used to the ocean’s environment.…

    At least 161 orcas have died in captivity at Seaworld due to the small enclosures and dangerous training. Seaworld is a marine resort that captives water related animals such as orcas, dolphins, and flamingos. They train the animals to put on shows and do tricks that they would never naturally do. Tilikum, a 22 foot, 12,500 pound orca, was captured in November of 1983 when he was just a calf. Trainer Keltie Byrne was pulled to the bottom of a tank by Tilikum and drowned.…

    The inadequate living conditions for the orcas affect them physically and mentally. Sea World, the amusement park, has been profiting off of the giant mammal since 1965. Even though abnormal behavior from the orcas has been witnessed and there have been deaths to trainers - the show must go on. Should SeaWorld be able to continue their shows despite new information about how these mammals are living?…

    PETA stands for the rights of animals, but its adoption rate in 2011 was 2.5%. According to an article on The Atlantic, in 2011 PETA euthanized 713 of the 760 dogs they received and euthanized 1,198 of the 1,211 cats they received. They found homes for 24 of those cats and dogs. Blackfish, documentary that came out in 2013, focuses on Tilikum, a killer whale owned by SeaWorld that has contributed to the deaths of three people. After this documentary was released, the uproar against SeaWorld was huge.…

    Imagine being with your family and friends on any given day and all of a sudden someone takes you away from them. This is what parks are doing to get orcas, which is considered to be kidnapping and if it were children instead of whales it would be illegal. They are kidnapping them in the wild and making the orca their entertainment slave so they can gain a profit. What they are doing is inhumane and also not healthy for these orcas. Seaworld and other parks want to entertain people and make money, so they take orcas from the wild and breed them.…

    Large companies such as Mattel and Southwest Airlines dropped contracts with SeaWorld (Roony). The opposing side claims that having orcas in captivity helps humans learn more about the creatures. The problem with that argument is that humans are not learning about the natural habits of an orca. A veteran marine-mammal researcher said, “If SeaWorld didn’t exist, would our understanding of wild killer whales be significantly reduced? I think the answer to that is no, it would not (Raja).”…

    In his towering essay “Ideas of Nature,” Raymond Williams examined the dynamic relationship which humans hold with nature – a relationship which involves histories of intervention, separation, and domination – to investigate “whether nature include[s] man.” The dominant narratives which emerged from this debate suggest that nature* is wholly separate from human; contemporary discourse argues that nature is intrinsically where industry (and in extension human activity) is not. But what happens when nature becomes industrialized? Moreover, what happens when mechanized intervention invades the pastoral, a realm seen historically as natural? Building from Williams’ line of inquiry, I seek to question two practices which widen the rift between humans…

    First, these animals have families that they are deeply connected to. Then all of sudden they are ripped from that connection and put with unknown orcas (“10 Things You Didn’t Know About SeaWorld”). We view the kidnapping of a human as one of the ultimate crimes, something that only the scum of the Earth would ever think of doing. Yet we condone the act of taking these Orcas away from their families. Second, one of the men involved in the kidnapping of the whales in the documentary described it as one of the hardest things he had ever had to do.…

    Animal cruelty shouldn’t be entertainment for anyone. Seaworld tends to capture the Orcas from the ocean to put them in tanks that aren’t the right size, separating them from their family. The Orcas get trained to look happy in front of the audience daily, even though they live a miserable life. Being held in a tight place can cause a person or animal to go crazy. There was an Orca named Tilikum who was captured in Iceland in 1983.…

    Orcas demonstrate indications of unhappiness at SeaWorld not only through collapsed dorsal fins, but also by “floating listlessly in the water for hours at a time” which is “a behavior never seen in wild orcas” (Over 30 Years). If these orcas were free, they could live their lives naturally and happily. SeaWorld should not imprison these animals who have just as much of a right to happiness, healthiness, and this Earth as humans…
