Persuasive Speech Outline : Animal Seaworld

The corporate officials of SeaWorld used facts to convince viewers to believe their credibility instead of those of BlackFish by different logistic angles such as their many years of being in business. They stated in the website that in the more than fifty years SeaWorld has been in business, they have built a diversified portfolio of 11 destination and regional theme parks which proves they are a well-rounded corporation. They inform the viewer that their programs and practices are based solely on the wellbeing of the animals; “Our advanced programming applies a broad range of best practices based upon behavioral enrichment, preventive health, veterinary medicine and facilities design and management. Our programs and policies are affirmed by numerous federal and state laws, including the Animal Welfare Act, Endangered Species Act, Marine Mammal Protection Act and other statuses”(SeaWorld Website). They make it their priority to accommodate environmental, social and economic sustainability across the company and throughout their employee culture, which is a huge part of having a thriving business. With this aspect of the business, they show that they are reliable and a trustworthy corporation. They state in the website how they have over 21,000 team members nationwide, which appeals to how the crew members are treated across the country, otherwise they wouldn’t have any employees. They make many

Most people today have visited or at least heard of the popular tourist attraction, Seaworld. These tourists may think of it as a place to see marine animals do trick, like killer whales interacting with humans in a fun and entertaining way- but do we ever stop to think about the treatment or feelings of these creatures? After visiting Seaworld and seeing the famous Shamu, the thought of how living in captivity affects the animal had not crossed my mind. After researching I am now extremely concerned with the way these whales are impacted by spending their lives in bathtubs and forced to do tricks for food, all while humans are blindly funding this billion dollar business.

SeaWorld has been a well loved and renowned place to the USA and the families in it for over 53 years. The world famous entertainment park is well known for its wide variety of oceanic animals, and of course, the part that brings them the most fame: their killer whale shows. Because killer whales are so hard to find in the ocean, and going out on a whale watching boat is usually quite expensive, many people have ended up opting for the choice of going to SeaWorld to see these animals. These shows are considered to be spectacular to some audiences, and an abusive nightmare to others. Despite the fact that many people love SeaWorld and consider it to be a fun and family-friendly place, the person with educated knowledge about what really goes on in this place could never see it the same way again, and should want something to be done about it. SeaWorld has caused controversial problems to animal lovers, the people who work there, and of course the killer whales themselves. SeaWorld should be talked about more in schools, educating more young people in hopes that one day there is enough people to take a stand and get this place to stop keeping killer whales captive.

Since its establishment in 1964 the world famous franchise SeaWorld has been subjected to various tabloid headlines and legal investigations following the horrendous attacks by orcas, also known by their more apt name ‘Killer Whales’. These incident range from minor to major, but, there has been rare cases of fatalities from the family orientated marine parks based in America.

The general argument made by author Kelly Wallace in her work, Blackfish effect, is that the future will be changed by the announcement of SeaWorld saying they will no longer house killer whales. More specifically, she argues that many animal rights activist and parents will be influenced and may not allow their children to visit circuses, aquariums, and zoos. Wallace is suggesting that The Blackfish Effect is taking place in the United States. The public is starting to disagree with forcing animals to stunt for human entertainment. They also may be against the fact that animals in the circus or zoo will never have a normal life like they would in the wild, or where they belong. In conclusion, in this passage Wallace’s belief is that in the

The topic at hand is the captivity of orcas in institutions like SeaWorld. This issue

Blackfish is a documentary based on killer whales who are captured to serve as performers, confined to small spaces, and mistreated while in captivity. The film features Tilikum, a male killer whale who not only has displayed disturbing behaviors but has also injured and killed people throughout his lifetime. The film also focuses on Sea World who despite their attempts to appear as a safe, and nurturing environment for these animals fails to provide proper training to their employees, accurate information to its guests, and mediocre living conditions for their animals. We meet several former Sea World trainers who recall the personal and emotional struggles they faced during their time at SeaWorld, and the incidents they witnessed which caused them to question not

In the documentary, Blackfish, the director, Gabriela Cowperthwaite demonstrates through three times of appeals, ethos (emotional), logos (logical), and pathos (emotional) about the unethical practices and treatment of killer whales while in captivity at SeaWorld. She informs the viewing audience through interviews with experienced SeaWorld trainers, marine experts, seasoned whale hunters, and eye witnesses of the unethical treatment and environment of these majestic, highly intelligent mammals. These facts are presented in well placed order allowing the audience to draw their own conclusions about what goes on behind the scenes at SeaWorld from the capture of Orcas in the wild, to the covering up of evidence of accidents and deaths and placing blame on the experienced trainer themselves, or by inhumane treatment of the animals themselves. Through advertising footage, graphs, and interviews she emphasizes that SeaWorld is focused on the well-being of the staff or animals but merely the reputation of the park along with ticket and merchandising sales.

Leinwand writes that “SeaWorld argues in a legal brief that human contact with the killer whales is educational and integral to the care of the killer whales”(1). In another post by Alexandra Sifferlin, she declares that “SeaWorld argues that the killer whales are treated with care . . . that keeping the animals in captivity is very important for conservation research”(1). If keeping 12,000 pound whales trapped in puny containers and blatantly ignoring the risk they take by neglecting these animals is conservation research, it’s no wonder so many animals are going

According to Time Magazine “SeaWorld’s profits drop 84% after the documentary Blackfish came out”. Therefore, SeaWorld had to do something to do something to make the people come back to their park.

California coastal commision meeting in long beach. the commision considered a $100 million expansion of the tanks in which orcas will be held. these captive orcas are held, starved, and torn from their families, put into concrete tank and explioted for human entertainment. now that activists brought light into this issue, seaworld sales have declined. seawolds solution? to buld a latger more humn concrete tank. while many seaworld advocates, employees and pass holders spoke for it we stood our ground. orcas should thruve in their natural habitat, not in a concrete tank. seaworld bribed their season pass holders for attending. new expansion will triple the size under one condition which is to stop breeding them unnaturally.

Killer whales have been a staple for entertainment for decades and it has been attracting guests to various amusement parks throughout the world but theres a hidden world about these animals that not many people know about. Just like with any great business there are things that companies do not want you to know about their products, and things of that nature. Some would say it’s just good business to keep the negative aspects of their businesses out of the consumers eye, but I’d like to shed a little bit of light on one business in particular, SeaWorld. SeaWorld is known for their marine mammal shows like Orcas, Dolphins, and SeaLions. To the viewers eye the animals look well taken care of and happy and healthy. Unfortunately, that is just good business and if they were to reveal the truth behind the way they care for their biggest money makers, the Orcas, SeaWorld would no longer be known for their great entertainment shows. We understand why people love dolphins and why many want to see them close up, but putting whales and dolphins in tanks for our entertainment is wrong.

It’s 2016 and we have people riding on hover boards, a woman is running for president and we have SeaWorld getting rid of Shamu. WAIT! Sea world is getting rid of Shamu? You don’t mean the most bodacious black and white sea creature in the entire world that makes dreams come true, do you? Well I am very sorry to say that this is one hundred percent true. And it’s all because of the animal rights groups that believe SeaWorld is not capable of caring for these animals. When in fact the theme park actually goes beyond the limit for animal care and treats their animals with only the best intentions. Because of SeaWorld’s delicate care for each and every animal, they actually get longer lifespans yet somehow people still believe that SeaWorld is bad at taking care of them. This is most likely do to the recent death of one of the most popular orcas and the recent airing of an incredibly false and biased movie “Blackfish”. SeaWorld loves their animals just as much as orcas like squid, I believe that SeaWorld is more than capable of taking care of their aquatic sea creatures and that animal activists and the “Blackfish” supporters are completely and utterly wrong.

SeaWorld - a place where families go to watch thousand pound whales swim around a pool doing tricks. Seems fun, right? Not for these captive orcas. SeaWorld has been under fire since 2013 when a documentary on SeaWorld 's captive orcas called Blackfish was released. The movie gained a lot of attention, but it drew even more attention to the treatment of the captive whales forced to perform almost every day. People scrutinized SeaWorld 's every move after the documentary, but SeaWorld remained strong in defense of their company. SeaWorld is simply a franchise built on lies and secrecy.

The deep, frantic, fast paced, 9-1-1 call comes through the background. Leading the audience into believing that something major is about to happen. Will it be good? Will it be bad? One begins to wonder what could have caused such a frantic call from SeaWorld, known for their orcas. The most important orca, Tilikum, is the reason for all the commotion and chaos. The documentarian does have a goal in this documentary. That goal is to make the audience watching realize what is going on in SeaWorld. The documentary will get the thoughts going through the audiences’ heads, making them wonder if there is a better solution. This goal is mostly aimed towards the once entertaining, energetic, and loved killer whale, Tilikum.
