Imprisoned against their will Imagine a child being torn away from their family, home, and the life that they have always known. Picture them being shoved in a cage that was too small. Being beaten, terrorized, sliced open, and injected with chemicals they could not pronounce. Forced to obey and perform for the very kind that put them in that cage. They wait day by day hoping that somehow they will make it out and be free like they once were. Until they suddenly realize that their mind…
ability to win people over with their tricks. These mammals are one of the most intelligent aquatic animals, and because of this they have been taught tricks and to perform.

The incident created a debate on whether SeaWorld trainers should go in the pool and swim…

Captivity is always captivity, no matter how gentle the jailer”(9). That is why, regardless of their ultimate fate, orcas should never, under any circumstance be bred, raised, or kept in captivity. Orcinus orcas, also known as killer whales, have been used as a sense of entertainment for close to a…

Seaworld keeps orcas in containers inadequate for their size. At night, the orcas are placed in a cramped shelter barely big enough for one orca, the next day many orcas are…
