I disagree with whales in captivity for these reasons, Against their nature, Torture, and Unhealthy. First of all, it’s against their nature. The most popular captive whale, orcas, would have to swim the circumference of a normal tank in seaworld 1,400 times a day to represent the distance they swim a day in the wild. Also, they don’t have the same life they…

Another characteristic that differs in sperm whales and killer whales are their teeth. You see, both their teeth…

Prejudice Against SeaWorld Do you know what a vaquita is? If you don’t, I’ll explain it later. As the next generation, we should not condemn SeaWorld for the caretaking of captive orcas.

The orcas in captivity receive the best medical attention in the world and help…
