Tilikum‚ the largest male orca in captivity‚ alone has killed three people and been involved in other accidents (Blackfish). Captivity alters animal’s behavior and as a consequence human lives our lost. “Zoochois” can be a result of abnormal and self-destructive behavior seen in these animals because of their living conditions.

It’s also a fact to say that during these actions of captivity to slavery animals suffer extraneous torture‚ discomfort‚ fear and in a lot of cases food deprivation leading to agonizing deaths.
