There is an amusement park based on sea life. Its purpose is to get the public interested and caring about
conservation of the world's oceans. Some of the profits from this organization go toward funding ocean research and
conservation. In order to get people interested, some of the shows that the park offers include large marine
mammals that do tricks. Some of the larger marine animals are housed in pools for viewing instead of being allowed
to live in their natural habitat. They also have rare and endangered species on display to help increase awareness of
them. They even have a breeding program for the some of the endangered animals.
Describe an ethical concern that would be related to this park.
