I submit that each and every one of these post are perfect examples of the utter failure of Seaworld and their ilk to educate the public on even the most basic facts about Orcas or any other species of aquatic mammals.
If you have to use the word "ilk" you have no argument.
If not for zoo's and places like Sea World many people never care about these animals because then they are nothing more than some concept on television.
Yes, for the few that get held captive one could argue it's not a full life but nobody cares about baby seals as much if they have never actually seen one.
Give me a break. This has nothing to do with liberal groups.
And don't get me started on how baby animals are "acquired" so that "children aren't deprived from experiencing these animals." Huh? Zoos are so far removed from exotic animals' habitats, it's ridiculous. We don't need elephants in Cincinnati.
Zoos exist solely for the entertainment of people, not for the welfare of the animals. If people want to "experience" animals, let them go on a dang safari.
Are you kidding? Liberal groups are constantly attacking places like sea world. How many safaris have you been on? How much did it cost? How many poor black kids will be able to go on a safari? As usual, it will just be something for wealthy liberals and at the same time they will feel good about themselves for "saving" the whales.

Wait until this makes a comeback.......now this is insane!
Pet dogs were once wild dogs. Dolphins seem to enjoy the interaction. You can even watch them do it in the wild.
By and large animals are treated well in captivity today.
Ya think? Orcas in the wild have a life span comparable to humans....An Orca called Granny, a member of the J-pod here off Vancouver Island is 102 years old........In captivity they live an average of less than ten years.
To date approximately 157 orcas have died in captivity, not including stillborns or miscarriages.
