In order for people to reduce the chance of a incident to happen and lower the risk of aggression is to pass laws that will regulate the capture and captivity of marine mammals. Some countries around the world are considering to ban the capture of aquatic animals because it’s recognized as a cruel practice from humans to confine and restrict freedom to very smart, and wise creatures. For instance, a congressman from Southern California named Adam Schiff announced on November 6th of 2015 that he…

SeaWorld. Orcas should not have to live in captivity. For one the tanks are way too small. The small tanks can leave the orca to become angered (US Whales). Therefor, all the emotion can build up can lead most orca to go crazy. Orcas will break their teeth, trying to chew their way out, or orcas will even chew on the bars because of boredom (US Whales). Another thing that orcas might do when they go crazy, is smash their heads into the wall. There are also too many premature deaths of orcas.…

Some countries have even banned particular ads. “Save the Whales” is the first ad with a large woman being shown on the side. The text reads “Save the Whales, Lose the Blubber, Go Vegetarian”. PETA is saying –without really saying – if people become a vegetarian, then people will lose weight. This is not backed up with facts or data of any sorts. It cannot obtain true reliability. This ad is also showing how the woman is a whale herself because she has so much…

something is a “white whale,” one is describing something that they are obsessed about. However, the saying also means that no matter how hard one tries, that thing will never be obtained. In One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Ken Kesey’s first use of white whale imagery is an allusion to the novel Moby-Dick by Herman Melville. In Moby Dick, a seafaring captain fiercely attempts and fails to kill an elusive and mysterious white whale. Consequently, one could argue that the whale in Moby-Dick…

SeaWorld the happiest place? Many would argue that SeaWorld is absolutely not the happiest place. The documentary Blackfish goes into great detail about how SeaWorld miss treats their captive animals, specifically the Orca, also known as the Killer Whale. The film goes into great detail about the lies SeaWorld puts out in the media about the one of a kind orca. The film also covers the deaths and accidents that are constantly occurring but sadly secreted by SeaWorld. Throughout the film you will…

best and the worst in people. In the narrative, In the Heart of the Sea, Nathaniel Philbrick tells the true story of the horrible tragedy that occurred to the crew of the Essex. The Essex was a whaling ship native to Nantucket that was attacked by a whale in 1821. The 21 crew members were essentially obligated to leave the Essex and transfer into three smaller whaleboats. Owen Chase, originally a mate on the Essex, took over Captain Pollards authority role as soon as the disaster occurred. A…

Orcas in Captivity vs. Orcas in the Wild The roar of the crowd, the splash of cool water, and the spectacular stunts that are performed by the orca and his trainer may leave you speechless. What some people don't think about is what the effects are of having orcas in captivity versus keeping them in the wild. Some similarities may include things like the diet and nutrition in the wild and captivity. On the other hand, things like their lifespan, the posture of their dorsal fin, and being torn…

SeaWorld’s Orca Problem Every year, millions of people are drawn to marine parks to see captive animals, including everyone’s favorite, the killer whales, perform in shows for their entertainment. Not many people think about what goes on behind these said shows. What we don't think about is the torture, maltreatment and even forced insemination that goes on in these “wonderful” places. Captured from the wild In the open ocean, orcas are smart, cooperative creatures. They work together to find…

Some animals they train includes dolphins, sea lions, whales, seals, walruses, otters, and more sea animals. Some qualities I have that make me better…

Sharks: Killing Machines? People across the world are stereotypical about sharks, some people think sharks are large man-eating monsters that live to kill, and many people believe that if a shark spots them they will automatically attack without hesitation. This is why I have decided to take the time and do some research and clear up the false information about sharks, since beginning my research I have uncovered that sharks are only known to attack humans when confused or curious. The more I…
