With research and studies being conducted on both wild and captive Killer Whales‚ data and information has been generated that adds question to the health issues associated with captivity. “The killer whale (Orcinus orca) has proven to be among the most difficult of all species to hold adequately in zoological facilities. The killer whale is a particularly large-brained and long-lived species who evidences a high degree of social complexity in the wild.” (Noonan) Their behavior and relationships

anonymous ex SeaWorld trainer once said those words. Many people think that orca whales should not be in captivity. But others think it is a good idea to have orcas in captivity so that people who can’t go out in see them in the wild can learn about them in theme parks or aquariums. In my opinion‚ I think it is a bad idea to have orca whales in captivity. For one thing the orca whales that are in captivity tend to have many problems. Also‚ many of the amusement parks like SeaWorld tell many of their employee’s

with dogs‚ dolphins‚ apes and a whole menagerie of other animals. Scientists recently developed a speaker that can project the full range of the high- and low-frequency sounds that dolphins make — including those used in dolphin-to-dolphin communication and the echolocation clicks used to locate food. Dolphin researchers designed the speakers to broadcast a specific series of vocalizations and then record dolphins’ responses; over time‚ this back-and-forth could reveal what dolphins are "saying

ANIMAL RIGHTS MOVEMENT Did you know that the United States was the first country in the world to protect animals from cruel abuse? The Animal Rights Movement was something that happened in 1975. All people wanted was for the animals to stop being tortured. Fortunately for the people the animals were protected. And the animals were in favor of this movement too.

intent continued to linger. Was the 12‚000-pound Orca‚ Tilikum (Tilly for short) acting violently‚ possibly because of stress from captivity? Or was he just playing? When chimpanzees‚ alligators‚ pythons and pit bulls have been involved in attacks against humans‚ they have generally been euthanized quickly‚ without much debate.

WHY I THINK SEAWORLD SHOULD CLOSE DOWN Seaworld may seem like a great‚happy‚ and fun place. When you actually get to go and interact with the Sea animals you might get a chance to swim with the dolphins or touch the small sharks and stingray. The first Seaworld was called Sealand. The aquarium opened in 1969‚ housing an orca named Haida which had been captured in 1968‚ then they started to buy Orcas from other countries and have the shipped to Sealand. The first dozen Orcas dies on the way to Sealand

laws which prohibit these unnecessary and cruel institutions. It has been argued that dolphin parks provide the only opportunity for much of the public to see marine mammals (Smith‚ 1992). Most Australians‚ so this argument goes‚ live in cities and never get to see these animals. It is claimed that marine parks allow the average Australian to appreciate our marine wildlife.
