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…
to fight with each other. The orcas are captured in a cruel way and they are wild animals, it’s going to be hard for them to adapt to a small place with little space to swim. For us the entertainment they show us is painful training for the orcas. SeaWorld is one of the most known tourist park that have…

and cute cuddly wales to perform glamorous shows that give you goosebumps, making you appreciate the trainers and admire their work, but all of that is until the truth is triumphed. Seaworld always claims that their animals were found in the ocean injured, desperately looking for help but the real truth is that Seaworld has rarely ever found injured animals in the ocean and rescued it.

Maybe the people who don't like Marineland and/or SeaWorld think that they are hurting the animals, maybe they should just stop going there and inform people on what's happening. When the owner realizes no one is coming there anymore, there’s a chance they’ll shut it down.…

Zoos are a popular attraction for kids and adults; it gives people the opportunity to get up close and personal with some their favorite animals. Zoos even allow people to feed and pet the animals, which make zoos very well-liked and…
