    Anna Schaible Argument Essay Save The Orcas Imagine this: You are an orca, stuck captive. An unknown creature is touching you and you are depressed and stuck. How would you feel about that? I know that I would not like that, so why would the orcas? I believe orcas should be free and out of captivity and they deserve to be treated fairly. In the wild, orcas can swim and move around freely, but in captivity they are trapped in tiny tanks. Studies show that orcas get depressed when held…

The death was a tragedy, one that could have been prevented. From the audience, watching a whale show at SeaWorld is a fun,…

    captivity, specifically at SeaWorld. The captivity of marine mammals was briefly explained in the chapter, but it was still the part that I connected to most. In an article the author Simon Worrall asked a SeaWorld representative, “Do you really believe it’s acceptable that we rip these animals from their natural families in the wild…then put them in concrete pools, for a corporation to make enormous profits and for people to be entertained?” (Former Trainer Slams SeaWorld for Cruel Treatment of…

    amusement of the average ticket buyer at Seaworld and other similar institutions. This type of torture should not be allowed to go on and those responsible for it should be held accountable for the actions they have taken. Taking in an injured animal from the wild and rehabilitating it while studying it is one thing, but purposefully hunting and capturing these animals for them to put on shows is impermissible. Through the extensive interviews with former Seaworld trainers and investigation…

    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 would have in the wild in a small aquarium. Though some sea parks are saying they are going to build bigger enclosures for the…
