Beached whale

These sharks reach maturity around 15 years old and was believed to have a lifespan of over 30 years. The true lifespan of great whites is far longer now, it is estimated to be 70 years or more. Females sharks swim up to 56 km/h (35 mph). The killer whale is the main predator to the great white. The great white is arguably the world’s largest known extant macropredatory, and is one of the primary predators…

I attended the SNID Talk given by Rosemary-Claire Collard on Thursday, March 30th 2017. The main concept of the talk was how capitalism has led to the unraveling of animal life- specifically Alaskan sea otters. Collard has studied the sea otters’ life course in Alaska since colonization. She studies topics such as the near extinction of sea otters during the fur trade and the Exxon Valdez oil spill that resulted in the death of thousands of sea otters. Collard explains the relationship between…

Less than one month ago, the infamous killer whale Tilikum, died from health issues. Studies have discovered that orcas in their natural habitat live a life span as long as humans. Tilikum perished in captivity at less than half of this age. During his restraint, he had been responsible for the death of three people. SeaLand and SeaWorld did not place the blame on the whale, but instead labeled all incidents as the trainer’s error. In reality, the blame should have been placed on the parks. They…

Should shark hunting be banned earn a huge attention to the society?In my suggestion, I think shark hunting should be banned.Normally, the fisher hunt the shark is for their fin.Then, plenty shark fin has been cut and after it has been cut the shark will drown.Many sharks died because of this and this affects the marine ecosystem.I think this action is unfair to shark.Also,after you finish reading this research essay,more than 1500 sharks will be killed。That’s mean every 5 second there are a…

Animal captivity is not a particularly new issue in modern American society. In American culture, most people do not view animals captivity is an immoral issue because they grew up watching animals being caged. The creation of zoos and oceanariums rationalize animal captivity since they produce entertainment for the society and it is being argued that they are made for conservation and education purposes. However, it raises concern in society when the issue involves the threat to human. In 2010,…

Aquarium Environment In beginning, the ethical issues related to the containment of aquatic animals in for-profit aquariums will be examined in this study. Cowperthwaite’s film Blackfish (2014) illustrates the ethical issues of containing orca whales, at Sea world, which led to the death of a animal trainer in its training facilities. More importantly, the ethical issue of monetary profit from using orcas as these shows defines the unethical use of aquatic animals that may not be safe for…

restaurant. The concept grew into a marine zoological park in San Diego. In the first year alone, the park drew more than 400,000 visitors. There are three SeaWorld parks in the United States today, including the original. SeaWorld cares for 30 killer whales. According to their website, seaworldcares.com, they are the “global leader in the care and understanding of this species.” One of the most vocal corporations against SeaWorld is People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). They are…

In this study I want to tag Biggs killer whales (Orcinus orca), also known as mammal eating or transient killer whales, in the mid-Salish sea. Biggs killer whales are named after Michael Bigg, a Canadian marine biologist who is considered the founder of killer whale research (Paterson, 2002). Bigg was the first scientist to look at the differences between killer whales that preyed on fish and stayed in one home range all year and those that preyed on mammals and live in larger unknown ranges. It…

of Catoosa, I visited the Blue Whale numerous times, and I am very familiar with its history. Regardless, I still searched for websites that contained information or pictures that I could use in my video. Surprisingly, I learned things about the Whale that I had never known before, such as that it had been closed and abandoned for several years before being reopened and renovated. For resources, I used multiple websites that focused on the history of the Blue Whale. Also, I visited the Blue…
