big problem that’s happening all around the world to whales, and the term most commonly used to describe it as “Whaling”. This act of violence needs to be recognized, and action needs to be taken to stop this cruelty before we totally wipe out the whole whale species. “Whaling is still carried out by Japan, Norway and Iceland, who kill 2000 whales between them each year and also continue to trade in whale products. It has to stop!” (BBC Whale Hunt) The International Whaling Commission, IWC,…

Orcas in captivity provide the audience with education and conservation of whales in general. School trips come to marine parks they get educated when they leave. Programs and shows at marine parks help serve to educate the audience about marine life, and without this experience, the public may be less interested in marine life. People say that having a few whales in captivity is helping to save the population of whales in the wild they think that the orcas are endangered. Aquarium research…

think about the differences between dolphins and humans is legs and tail fins, of course the color too. Well, duh! Who doesn’t already know about the differences? Despite how different us humans are from dolphins, we have an incredible amount of similarities. We may have some obvious differences, but we have more things in common than we realize. Yes, dolphins and humans clearly have a few major differences. The tail fin, dorsal fin, pectoral flippers, color, and the blowhole. It’s basically…

they can feel disturbances in the water from up to a mile away. When great white sharks are young, they feed on smaller prey, like fish and rays. As they grow larger, they feed more exclusively on marine mammals, such as sea lions, seals, and small whales. The great white is at the top of the food chain and has few threats in the ocean. Only orcas and larger sharks can…

largest dolphins reach a length of about 13 feet , but most species are 7 to 10 feet long. Dolphins have smooth, rubbery skin and they normally have some mixture of black, white, and gray.

They remain with the mother for about four years. They are a long-lived species, with an long life span of up to 45 years. A bottlenose…

In 2010 at SeaWorld Orlando, Dawn Brancheau was brutally attacked by a SeaWorld orca named Tilikum. Blackfish is about Tilikum the orca and his conditions at SeaWorld and others left in captivity for years. Aristotle’s notion of proof was used in this documentary through logos being very informative of the mistreatment of the orcas. Next, they use pathos through the trainers sharing emotional details and interviews of the victim’s family. Lastly, they used ethos by having people that actually…

sides of the tank and fiberglass. Injuries are also developed when fleeing from aggressive altercations with other mammals. Bacteria from interactive programs can also cause major infections. All dolphins who are held captive have collapsed dorsal fins, which rarely occur in wild orcas, proving captivity can change a mammals physical being (Peta). Most captive marine mammals die fairly short from their normal and natural lifespans. In the wild, these mammals live for decades, unlike in…

to describe the victim of abduction or a hate crime, yet it describes the life of an orca in captivity. Orcas are captured out of the wild and forced to do tricks in order to get their food. Their lifespans are drastically shortened and their dorsal fins no longer stand straight up. Their families are separated and sent thousands of miles around the globe. And for what? The amusement of the average ticket buyer at Seaworld and other similar institutions. This type of torture should not be…

animals in these such conditions for the simple purpose of entertainment to gain revenue. Just because we are the dominant species does not mean it is okay to capture animals from their natural environment to be held in captivity for profit. These whales are getting hurt and are harming human beings. These animal's natural way of living is being disrupted for the sole purpose of making money. None of this is right and animal captivity for profit revenue should be stopped as soon as possible,…

high altitudes, but they swim in the deep dark water mostly. They are highly intelligent creatures that have very close knit social groups. The bonds they make with each other are as strong as the bond between human and their relatives. A young orca whale will stay with its mother for its entire life. A group of mothers and their children, young or old, it called a matriline. It is very rare for a member of a matriline to stray away from the group for over an hour. Forcing these beautiful…
