Aquariums are million-dollar businesses that run on the suffering of marine animals. Wild orcas and dolphins are supposed to swim large distances everyday. In tanks these animals can only swim in circles or short lines. They are told to do tricks that have no meaning and are being taken away from family members when they’re taken to different tanks or parks. Most animals in aquariums die way before they’re supposed to. The vast majority of sea animals are ripped away from their families and put…

I had never thought a town that appears to promote itself on dolphins and whales for tourism would be able to commit slaughtering practices upon these idolised mammals. The documentary was shocking on a cultural level as it captures an insight for the western society into Japanese corruption amidst organisations; exposing lengths…

If you ask me if I only have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to go aboard, where I will choose to go? I will answer without any hesitation, "the Antarctic." Compare to others places, going to the Antarctic is a feeling of adventure or expedition because it is widely described as the last true wilderness on earth. The Antarctica is the highest, driest, coldest but also the remotest, quietest, purest land on the planet so that I want to feel how cold and pure it is. And the most attracts me is that no…

what was going to happen to these four men because Crane kept the readers at suspense as to what was going to happen to the four men. At first I thought these men were doomed that they would die of thirst, eat each other up, or be eaten by a shark or whale. When none of those things happen I began rooting for all four men to survive. At the end, right when I thought they all made it on shore alive I was shocked to read that the oiler, Billie,…

economics”, Paul Watson. Whaling has been around for thousands of years, starting with the Norwegians almost 4,000 years ago. Since then, it has become custom for countries to hunt vast amounts of these animals every year, resulting in many species of whale becoming endangered and a significant issue worldwide. Many organizations and countries have chosen to act upon this problem with bans and conservation strategies, but some have still been caught finding loopholes. Although whaling has been…

Samuel D. Hunter’s The Whale depicts the story of Charlie, a gay and obese man. As he realizes that his time is limited, he attempts to reconcile with his daughter. However, he is bounded to a couch in a tiny living room and requires the help of Liz, his only friend. This play dabbles in the realms of homophobia, mental health, and religion. All these elements appear to show how Charlie 's in the situation that he 's in. Also, changing the perspective that the audience views all the characters,…

Contributors). Greenland sharks are the only species that consistently live in these arctic and sub-arctic temperature waters (Rogers). Other than being one of the slower swimming sharks, it is also at the top of the food chain eating mostly fish, whale and narwhal carcass, smaller sharks and seals (Wikipedia Contributors). They hunt for food in complete darkness using only their sense of smell. Despite being on the top of their food change, they are second to humans. In the past, these…

activity for some years now. Whales in today’s society have been regarded as “gentle giants” and highly intelligent animals, which is true. Some nations however, such as the Norwegian and Japanese have whaling deeply rooted in their culture and history. For many centuries, their ancestors took part in whaling as a means to sustain their life, livelihood and culture. I agree with the Norwegian and Japanese position on permitting the hunting of non-endangered species of whales as a cultural…

Sea otters number in the wild life is declining rapidly due to two possible problems: environmental pollution and attacks by predators. While the reading passage supports the claim that the decreasement of the sea otters is caused by the pollution, especially by human activities, the lecture points out that the assaults by the predators are the actual problem. First of all, sea otters are vurnerable to be hunted, and they have their natural predators: the orcas. It is not caused by the…
