The physical abuse of orca whales remains a growing problem in today’s national SeaWorld parks. Physical abuse starts when orca whales are captured from the wild using horrendous methods that have ended in mass fatality for the whales in question. Zimmermann (2010) said “Griffin bought the 8‚000-pound animal for $8‚000. He towed the orca‚ which he named Namu‚ 450 miles back to Seattle in a custom-made floating pen. Namu’s family pod-20 to 25 orcas-followed most of the way” (p.5). This is said in

The law requires wildlife agencies to review any activity -- for example‚ the use of underwater explosives or high-intensity active sonar‚ which has the possibility to kill these animals in the wild. The law is our nation’s leading instrument for the conservation of these species‚ and is an international model for such

It is claimed that marine parks allow the average Australian to appreciate our marine wildlife. However‚ as Smith states‚ dolphins‚ whales and seals can be viewed in the wild at a number of places on the Australian coast. In fact‚ there are more places where they can be seen in the wild than places where they can be seen in captivity. Moreover‚ most Australians would have to travel less

Conservation refers to the idea that "certain physical characteristics of objects remain the same"‚ despite their perceptual differences (Berk‚ 2009). In Piaget’s theory on conservation‚ children gradually acquire various conservation abilities‚ such as understanding the conservation of numbers‚ weight‚ and volume to name a few. Piaget asserts that until they successfully acquire these abilities‚ they have no real understanding that quantity remains unchanged despite perceptual changes of the objects

In your own backyard‚ plant a butterfly garden‚ use native plants and trees and let "wild" areas grow to provide habitat and food. Join a local‚ national or global conservation organization.
