cows and whales
There are some things that happen to cows and whales. People in some countries as edible meat eat one of the things, both cows and whales. Another thing, although they are living different places like ocean and land, they have their own lives.
It seems that cows and whales are in a same situation. But there are some differences that could be compared. First, many cows are slaughtered everyday. On the other hand, national law protects whales recently. Second, cows are important provisions for all over the world. However, whales are important edible animals only in a few countries. Finally, there is the biggest difference between cows and whales. It is that whales are free in the huge ocean until caught by people, and the people to eat will grow up cows in the field.
The first difference between cows and whales is that cows are the most popular edible meat all over the world. Therefore, many cows are butchered everyday. Of course, there are several reasons that people use cows to their provisions. Because cows are easy for farmers to breed, and they are not as clever as other animals. On the other hand, a law has protected whales. (The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea) Therefore, every whaler has been limited in number to catch the whales recently. The reason of this law is whales are not easy to breed as cows. And they are such a clever animals more than any other kind of animal.
The second difference is that cows are important provisions all over the world, Almost of all countries use beef as a main dish. Therefore, it is nothing wound and give any impression us to slaughter cows. But whales have been used as edible meat in a few countries like small islander countries. Therefore, for the people who are living in big countries, to slaughter the whale’s look like violence activity and wounded hunting?

    There are many reasons on why they’re endangered. One of the main reasons is because they were hunted and some still are hunted at a very large rate. Even their name “Right Whale” signifies on them being hunted. When wailing these were the right whale to kill. “Because females do not become sexually mature until ten years of age and give birth to a single calf after a yearlong pregnancy, populations grow slowly.” (Chadwick 1-7).

    The documentary entitled Blackfish directed by Gabriela Cowperthwaite uses a few rhetorical approaches to reveal the disturbing hardship that orca whales experience in captivity. The film follows the shocking story of a killer whale named Tilikum and the three human deaths that he is responsible for. Cowperthwaite uses interviews with concerned former trainers and whale experts as a device to explore the difference between SeaWorld’s public image and its intense reality. Researchers find that the wild orcas can be described as highly socialized and intelligent creatures; these gentle animals are then compared to the whales pictured in footage from SeaWorld’s marine parks. Whales kept at SeaWorld are mistreated, restrained to dark cages, and live in small concrete pools that cannot be compared to the hundreds of miles that they would routinely swim on a daily basis. To this day, many admire SeaWorld for its broad assortment of marine animals. As a documentary, Blackfish takes on the immense task of trying to alter the audiences’ perceptions of SeaWorld. While Blackfish employs all three forms of rhetoric to accomplish this mission, it predominantly attracts the emotion of its audience using a combination of stock footage and interviews.…

    Imagine being taken from your family at a very young age and held captive for the rest of your life. You are confined in a space about as big as your average bedroom and forced to eat, sleep, and play in there. Everyday you have to put on shows to entertain others with little to no rewards. You have no friends and family to relax with and no spouse to mate with. Who are you? You’re an average Killer Whale taken into captivity and forced to perform for others at Amusement Parks. Killer whales that are held in captivity have many negative impacts on their lives. When they are not in the wild their majestic dorsal fins can collapse, their death rate increases, and the chances of a trainer being hurt is escalated.…

    Blackfish Film Analysis

    Using killer whales as entertainment is unfair/inhumane, and not appropriate for others enjoyment because in the film, “Blackfish,” dates back to 1983, where a man is interviewed on capturing Tilikum, who showed emotion while telling his story. Tilikum was taken away from the wild, his mother, and family as a baby whale. As the men were trying to capture Tilikum, the mother and rest of the family were around the boat, calling for each other, and trying to help Tilikum to get away. It is such a sad thing to see or even think about, imagine someone just taking what doesn’t belong to them. The men showed no feelings or emotion on just taking the baby whale away and not even caring. “…killer whales that live in captivity more likely to suffer…

    The Japanese whale hunters also believe that placing a ban on whaling rather than hunting other species is a bit conflicting. For instance, a very important ingredient in Japanese cuisine, Bluefin tuna, is way more endangered than the Minke whales that the Japanese hunt. Also fishermen share the opinion that if whaling is considered cruel, so is the slaughtering of cattle in the factory farming system, which is globally accepted (Zhang, 2015). Still, the main reason why the Japanese hunt whales is the annual yield of…

    When the people who took the whales give the whales food they do not give them a lot. Whales are big animals and they are only serving small portions to them. I think whales liked it better in the ocean because they could just have as much food as they want but now that they are in tanks and used as money making tools they don't really care about the animals they just want money off of them, just like the small servings if they cared they would give the whales more food. According to Ingrid Betancourt, “In captivity one loses every way of acting over a small detail.”…

    Orcas, also known as killer whales, have been in captivity for over fifty years. The magnificent stunts the animals are trained to do is jaw dropping. Killer whales, on the other hand, do not seem to feel the same positive regard. Infact, they have killed or injured more than one-hundred people during their stay in captivity. Keeping killer whales in captivity not only threatens the whales, but harms humans as well.…

    While they are not an endangered species, they are hunted mercilessly by the fish industry especially off the coasts of China, Japan and parts of the North Pacific by the Russians (Ivashchenko 73). This extreme hunting has left the oceans with an unknown number of whales and thus, keeping them in facilities such as SeaWorld helps to replenish their numbers. However, since SeaWorld no longer catches or buys wild whales and instead breeds them for the very purpose of continuing the gene pool as Hardgrove describes in his book, it doesn’t help any animals still left in the wild. In fact, having such high numbers in captivity, while still allowing whaling practices to continue, we encourage whaling to go on. We can’t both praise whale captivity, and leave whales in nature to fend for themselves if we are really worried about…
