First of all, if these five orca were released it would be a death sentence by slow starvation. Being in captivity since infancy, they have no hunting skills, have never been socialized with wild orca, and would be doomed to being lone outcasts. But the screwball PETA loons never think of such things. As for roaches and fleas, the so called animal rights groups are almost there. Just look at what they have done with the Delta smelt, but that is another topic.

You do know it's more of a publicity thing to get people talking about the issue, right? That is the purpose of a lot of their activities.

"All Sentient Beings Have Buddha Nature."

(yes, cockroaches too have Buddha nature)



"The truly wise person kneels at the feet of all creatures and is not afraid to endure the mockery of others."

-Mechthild of Magdeburg-




"For as long as space exists
And sentient beings endure,
May i too remain,
To dispel the misery of the world."

-Shantideva-

Didn't they make a children's movie about this: Free Willy?
By the way, the adult version was better.

O.K. ... how about some Jesus for you supposed Christians.


"And some of the people said, This man careth for all creatures, are they his brothers and sisters that he should love them ? And he said unto them, Verily these are your fellow creatures of the great Household of God, yea, they are your brethren and sisters, having the same breath of life in the Eternal."

"And whosoever careth for one of the least of these, and giveth it to eat and drink in its need, the same doeth it unto me, and whoso willingly suffereth one of these to be in want, and defendeth it not when evilly entreated, suffereth the evil as done unto me; for as ye have done in this life, so shall it be done unto you in the life to come."
