Socio-Economic Effects of Dolphinariums on Small Island Destinations

The author of the paper, Daly, while arguing against the maintaining of marine parks, brings forwards other people’s views as evidence to some very good points to support his position. Apparently, in Australia such Marine Parks are not easily accessible to a population which is largely city based, and consequently, equally inaccessible to the tourists, whom visit the country. Also the exorbitant fees may actually be out of the budgetary means of many tourists. It has been suggested that many tourists come to Australia, specifically to visit such marine parks. The country is an Island, surrounded by an ocean, an ocean full of marine life. Also a very healthy marine tours industry that

Human use and tourism is one of the main reasons the Great Barrier Reef is such an astounding place. The reef consists of more than 400 different kinds of corals, over 1,500 species of fish, and over 200 types of birds (2011). The tourism industry is a major contributor to the local and Australian economy. The range of activities for tourists include day tours, overnight and extended tours, snorkeling, scuba diving, fishing, whale watching, helicopter tours, and other services that capitalizes on the world’s fascination with it. (2011). The earliest occurance of tourism was in the late 1890’s, when this area became a

Since 1961, 157 orcas, or killer whales, have been ripped from their homes and shoved into captivity. 127 of these orcas are now dead. With the number of captured orcas plus the number of those born into captivity, The W.D.C. (Whale and Dolphin Conservation) reports that, “At least 162 orcas have died in captivity, not including 30 miscarried or stillborn calves” ( “The Fate”1). Out of the 127 taken into captivity, 44 have died in SeaWorld. There are currently 58 orcas residing in 14 marine parks in eight different countries. 24 of those orcas are held in SeaWorld’s three parks in the United States. Since 2002, 14 have been taken out of the wild and put into these marine parks. (“The Fate”1) It is not fair for these innocent creatures to be physically and mentally manipulated and damaged. Such brutality would not be condoned if it were targeted towards a human, and it should not be condoned when targeted toward an animal. Orca whales should not be held in captivity because they are forced to live in subpar conditions, they are mistreated while in captivity, and they are led to aggressive behavior.

This essay reviews whether the Butler Model, a model designed to illustrate the different stages of tourism that a country goes through, supports the Antiguan tourist industry.

As a young child there has been so many commercials about how SeaWorld is such an amazing place for marine life animals, yet what we do not know is that most of these animals have been held in captivity against their will. Just think about it, these animals’ are made to perform day in and day out for a huge crowd, yet we do not stop and think about what it would be like if we ourselves were held in captivity. Although awareness needs to be brought to this issue, it can make this situation a touchy subject. However, awareness does need to be brought to attention of people who support these amusement parks. The life of orca whales held in captivity are dangerous and have suffered a great amount of distress.

This article is an informative commentary of which enlightens mostly animal advocates of an announcement about SeaWorld. This entails that SeaWorld in San Diego will no longer be performing killer whale shows. Therefore animals will no longer be used as performers but henceforth displayed in larger more naturalistic like settings. This article is in fact credible because

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

[fact]In countries outside the EU, dolphins live in conditions that make Attica (prison) seem like paradise. In September Ric O'Barry, former trainer of the TV dolphin Flipper, travelled with a animal welfare and conservation group to Turkey to help save two dolphins. At an unlicensed park in Hisaronu, on the Aegean, O’ Barry and others found Tom and Misha, two bottlenose dolphins, bobbing around in a stinking soup of excrement, rotting fish and worms, in a pool measuring 19 metres by 12 and just 4 metres deep. The owner bought the two dolphins and would charge 55 Euros for ten minute swims with the dolphins. Marine aquatic shows are suppose to be a source of knowledge not entertainment. Marine parks were made to conserve and help animals.

I. Therefore, that is why I think SeaWorld should become a marine wildlife sanctuary because it is a great compromise for animal activist and non-animal activists.

I propose that all captive marine animals in possession of Sea World be released to their respective habitats immediately. The evidence of their unethical facilities are abundant on many anti-Sea World campaigns. Over the years there have been approximately seventy incidents between captive Orcas and trainers or even Sea World guests. All of them stock piling into a giant reason why Sea World does not need to exist

The announcement was made during a press conference overlooking the practice field. This made the sisters the first African-American females to obtain ownership in an NFL franchise. Stephan Ross, the majority owner of the Dolphins, said "We are thrilled to have Venus and Serena join the Dolphins as limited partners. They are among the most admired athletes in the world and have become global ambassadors for the game of tennis. Their addition to our ownership group further reflects our commitment to connect with aggressively and embrace the great diversity that makes South Florida a multicultural

America is a growing country with growing opportunity. Americans take pride in progress. We thrive on innovative technology and new experiences. We want to be entertained. In order to satisfy our need for adventure, we visit amusement parks, aquariums and zoos. Although we enjoy vacationing to Six Flags or SeaWorld, we rarely stop to think about the organizations we are supporting. What do they stand for? How do they care for their employees and animals? One of the most popular parks today, Sea World, has been exposed for its harmful conditions, both for the employees and animals. Keeping aggressive whales in captivity is inhumane and cruel. It threatens their health and hardens their souls. We may only pay $60 for a ticket to Sea World, but the animals and trainers pay a much greater price.

The Show Must Not Go On : Raising Awareness Of Marine Animals in Captivity Wild marine animals are not meant for profit and entertainment. Worldwide, everyday humans have taken aquatic animals away from their natural habitat and placed them in concrete jails. Sadly, these isolated confinements are also known as aquariums and marine parks. Currently, a fair number of people are responsible for the unfavorable act of keeping marine animals in captivity. As a result of this inhumane treatment, awareness must be raised in order to provide a better future for the aquatic animals.
