Notable for its destruction of the SeaWorld Killer Whale exhibits, Blackfish is an engaging exposé on the potential for aggressive behavior in captive killer whales. I enjoyed the film because it could have been critical of the killer whales and their species as a whole, but it was not, and the movie told the whole story without requiring graphic scenes, explicit language, or traumatic anecdotes. Blackfish was an excellent film because it kept the watchers engaged, despite being a documentary,

If I could be any animal, I would be a swan. Swans are simple, elegant creatures, but can have a powerful "punch" if messed with. Swans are great swimmers, but they also live and eat on land. During the summer, I live in the pool, but I come to eat and sleep. Swans are large, aquatic birds. They are known for their fierce temperant and have powerful wings that can be fatal to any animal that it feels threatened by. Swans build their nests on land from twigs and leaves. They nest near water

I do not agree that whales should be kept in captivity. It is not fair for whales. Even if it entertains us, they should not be forced to do what they don’t want to do, such as: do tricks. While we are being entertained, they are trapped in a tub, away from their family, and stuck there until finally released. First, they should not be in captivity because they will be used to the little container they are kept in. They will forget how to survive. It would be too late for them to be let out into

in her documentary, Blackfish, exposes SeaWorld for the cruel capture and mistreatment of Orca whales in their amusement parks located around the world. Cowperthwaite’s purpose is to persuade and compel viewers to understand how cruelly the Orcas are being treated and how being kept in captivity can negatively affect Orcas whales. Cowperthwaite efficiently persuades her audience that abducting Orca whales from the wild and keeping the animals in captivity is not morally right by including pathos in

The 23-foot long bull orca drowned SeaWorld trainer, Dawn Brancheau, in 2010. The thesis in this article is “A comparison of their natural behavior patterns, as opposed to the lives they must endure in aquariums and amusement parks, reveal the answer” (Cronin. para

Sharks are a unique and aggressive fish that are an endangered species because of the human threat. They are not made for captivity or to be show pieces. No animal should be kept in captivity especially anything aggressive as sharks. Sharks of any kind should not be kept in captivity because they need their freedom, they will get depressed, and they are natural hunters. Sharks need their freedom because aquariums cannot provide adequate and appropriate space they need to wander around. They are

Black; a colour closely associated with dread, a cascade of bubbles emerging, and a voice filled with sorrow reveals the events that lead to the death of a human being are present when suddenly a killer whale and person come into shot. This is what the audience first sees with the documentary Blackfish, what they do not see, however, is all of the manipulative fallacies. At first glance Blackfish looks like a strong and valid argument, however, under further examination it becomes evident that Blackfish’s

Animal entertainment is when you use animals to entertain people for their pleasure. It began in the 1960s, when corporations such as SeaWorld, captured wild animals from their natural habitats. In 1993, when Free Willy, a film about a captive orca and his journey to freedom came out, it was the first time a worldwide audience fell in love with these amazing creatures of the ocean. However, the issue with orcas being held captive is still an issue today. There is animal captivity all around the

Two years ago a documentary was released that completely changed the view of a multi-billion dollar industry forever. This extremely influential and controversial documentary is called Blackfish. Blackfish centers around the story of a killer whale named Tilikum, who is nicknamed Tilly. The documentary was produced to illustrate that SeaWorld, and other sea parks similar to it, do not treat their animals in captivity well. Tilikum had killed one of his trainers in the past year when the documentary

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. SeaWorld is a leading amusement park, with revenue totaling 1.46
