My project is on the controversial topic of whales and orcas being help in captivity. There are many reasons why these amazing creatures should not be help in captivity, the first being that these are whales that when living in the wild, are swimming for up to or around 100 miles a day. At parks such as SeaWorld, they are being kept in pools that are like bathtubs to them. Also, not only has there been many deaths of trainers that have been covered up by SeaWorld, but gruesome deaths of the whales themselves.
Here is a list of a few more reasons why whales should not be kept in captivity:
- Premature Deaths
- Social problems between whales
- Inadequate diet
- Numerous safety hazards for whales AND trainers
- Misleading the Public
