Whales are one of the most amazing and unique mammals that has a free lifestyle in the underwater life. They are known to be the biggest mammal currently living. You would expect all whales to have such a hefty appetite,which they do, although they consume such tiny animals. Whales consume around 8,000 pounds of krill and other small fish per day. There is a reasoning behind why they eat so much, and that reason is to keep the food chain going. What if these whales couldn’t live a free lifestyle…

Did you know 163 whales have died in captivity, not including stillborn or miscarried calves. Whales in captivity are a big problem. 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…

Whales are meant to swim freely in the ocean and do as they please. Not be held in a swimming pool for people to poke and prod at. When I was studying to become a marine biologist I learned that orcas(also known as killer whales), are very social animals, but in a different way than most people would…

Killer whales, also known as orcas, are very large animals ranging from 16 to 26 feet and weighing as much as 8,000 pounds. These animals are absolutely breathtaking when seen in person. Blackfish, a documentary on killer whales associated with Sea World, another park in Canada, and one near Africa, tells the story of a few orcas, but mainly the orca Tilikum. This film was released in 2013 after Dawn Brancheau, the trainer for Tilikum, was dragged into the pool and killed. Gabriella…

can be away from the rest of the orcas. The argument it makes is that orcas should be free and not in pools. The trainers at SeaWorld believe that SeaWorld should close and let all the killer whales live their rest of their life in the ocean where they belong. They don't want to let go of Tilikum the whale because of breeding reasons. Moreover, the orcas should be free because they become aggressive towards the trainers and has killed many while trying to entertain the audience, they're not to…

Orcas, more commonly known as killer whales, should not be used for entertainment. Some other people, on the other hand, think killer whales should still be used for entertainment. Experts have established, though, if killer whales stay in captivity their health will be endangered, and their lives will be shortened. Still, some people believe killer whales should be used for entertainment. The killer whales bring in a load of money and people who work at places like SeaWorld and Dutch Wonderland…
