Blackfish belong in the wild and not in captivity. During the video one of the trainers said “Tilikum; one of the blackfish,has a curved fin”. It is due to captivity because it is a proven fact that less that 1% of blackfish get curved fins, and the ones that do usually are in captivity. Curved fins can also be caused by having no space in which to swim freely which is overall unacceptable and inhumane .This is a good example on why blackfish belong in the sea instead of a trapped closed in…

Seal-world (2016) said, “Researchers believe that the Mediterranean Monk Seal is very shy and doesn’t like to be around humans. This could explain why they have moved from giving birth on land to doing so in the caves under the water. As people continue to move closer and closer into the natural habitat area of these seals it is going to require them to continue further adaptations of their current behaviors.” There are many threats to the survival of the Mediterranean monk seal such as habitat…

for MotherJones, investigated the research that is actually done at SeaWorld. A veteran marine-mammal researcher who works at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said, “If SeaWorld didn’t exist, would our understanding of wild killer whales be significantly reduced? I think the answer to that is no, it would not” (qtd. Raja). The veteran researcher interviewed by Raja claims that SeaWorld’s research of orcas has not contributed to the understanding of the behavior or the life of…

We’ve all heard of it. The amazing SeaWorld. But how would you feel if you knew of the abnormal things they did to their sea life? The average killer whale swims about 400 miles a day, but at SeaWorld, they are confined to the equivalent of a bathtub for humans. Their tank is much shallower than their ocean, so when the orcas get sunburnt, they are covered with black paint.When SeaWorld wants animals, they capture them, and sometimes kill the animals in the process. Not all of the animals from…

certain problems with each of them and all the theories doubtable. First, the reading argues that the Orcas whales produce sound to attract a male is like this strange sound. On the other hand, the professor refutes this claim and mentions that the orca whales live in that place, but they live near the surface of the ocean, while the submarines are deep in the water. Additionally, the orca whales are detectable by the sonar, while the…

would be hell. 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 hundred years. Orcas end up in captivity by one of two ways. They can be…

employees who worked with the whales very closely and had experiences with them. The company does not have the right to capture and confine intelligent creatures for years on end. It also does not have the right to ignore safety risks that put their staff in danger. Over the years the park has had many failures that show the inability of the owners of the park to take action. SeaWorld captured its original orcas in the 1960’s in Washington state. Capturing the whales was not illegal but some…

not, Sea World specifically has gotten a lot of bad attention because of all the trainer and killer whale incidents. The way they keep their killer whales contained is also a big part of why Seaworld is getting bad attention. Seaworld has come out with a new commercial telling people that they are not a bad place and how the animals are being treated great there. From what has been said the whales that are kept captive do not have enough space, Animals show signs of aggression and depression…

New Zealand Killer Whales and Penguins What exactly are cetaceans? The Cetaceans family includes whales, dolphins, and porpoises. Even though the cetacean family depends on water or more specifically the ocean for survival, they are mammals just like we are. Warm blooded, give birth, nurse their young, and breathe air through their lungs doesn 't that seem familiar? Yes they have the same characteristics as us which makes us both mammals. Scientist believed that about millions of years…
