there are countries that HUNT the protected whales
I agree with you that in the WILD they (all marine life) are in danger
of being hunted!!!!!!
the fish /plankton etc they eat is being depleted
I agree with ALL of that
but in capivity they are a trained circus act
and sea world has a "special permit" to capture them
and hold them
that is kind of a bunch of garbage
that is so different then introducing the world of the ocean
helping the children understand the importance of the life in the ocean
and the complex things going on below the water
putting them in a trained circus act DOES NOT HELP TEACH anyone about the ocean environment
it only sells tickets
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
somewhere the WELL intentions of sea world have gotten changed
into a circus side show (i agree with you about the disneyland)
what a shame
and a pity for these beautiful whales
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i dont think every zoo is bad, many of them are making great strides in saving species
re introduction of species is a wonderful thing
breeding zoos are doing a good thing
i can think of many that are very animal friendly
and trying to actively protect species
but many of them ARE NOT
and the sea world tanks are alot like the 1940's/1950's zoos
not a lot of natural habitat in these tanks
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and many groups claiming they are "doing research" are NOT
they are hunting ,eating, exploiting, profiteering
-------------------------------------------------------------
sea world needs to STEP ITS GAME
get out of the circus business.......
and be the peaceful environment
for aquatic life and EDUCATION
that some people originally thought it was !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
