Whales in captivity are hurting others as well as themselves; for example, they have been seen and recorded performing acts of self-harming, smacking their heads against the sides of the pool repeatedly. Whales in captivity swim in trance-like states, forced to perform tricks for food, working endlessly for the pure entertainment of humans. Whales in captivity eat a monotonous diet, meaning it lacks variety. Orcas living in SeaWorld facilities are primarily fed dead herring, as opposed to diets including
The commercials are used to get children’s attention about SeaWorld. SeaWorld is used for entertainment and vacations. The SeaWorld executives told lies about having any connections with Loro Parque. The executives lied because a man was killed by a killer whale. SeaWorld actually sent the whales to that park and trained the trainers. Ethos is used in Brancheaus autopsy report. The report was very detailed. Reports used Brancheaus death as
Dear Joel Manby I was shocked by the way Seaworld cover the true of the dead of Dawn Brancheau recently documented.I am frustrated by the way Seaworld is exposing people to danger of death or injury and keeping Blackfish in captivity without the freedom they should have living with their families in the ocean. Keeping whales in captivity is so cruel that the whales became erratic and could kill people. Ms Brancheau's death demostrates that close contact with killer whales is a hazard likely to cause
captivity. Blackfish not only presents this emotional story, but also illustrates that some of these whales who grow up in strained environments, (such as Tilikum) even resort to killing those it interacts with. Stories of a man killed in the sea-park Loro Parque, and a woman killed at SeaWorld by an orca, are both retold within the documentary. The backgrounds of the individuals are presented in a way that make both individuals likeable, and interviews are held with relatives of the deceased, which further
new families, all for the purpose of show business. “Blackfish” shows footage of a mother orca going into extreme depression after being separated from her calf. Captive environments, such as SeaWorld in Orlando, San Antonio, and San Diego or Loro Parque, in Spain, fail to create a realistic and natural seeming environment. Orcas need large open spaces to swim, and tanks cannot provide the size and diversity that an environment should have. Tilikum, perhaps the most famous of SeaWorld’s orcas, experienced
Summary The 2013 Documentary Blackfish directed by Gabriela Cowparthwaite brings us the story of Sea World, Orcas or also known as “Killer Whales”, and the death of Dawn Brancheau who was a the senior trainer at Sea World. The documentary presents many emotional feelings us humans have toward these Orcas, everything from from love to anxiety to fear to wonder. In the wild Orcas are viewed as beautiful, majestic and charismatic beasts that have never harmed a human being, but in captivity Orcas have
Mistreatment of Orca Whales in Captivity A long time ago, a single, worldwide species and the ultimate omnivore, capable of preying upon any large vertebrate that swam into its vision, including fish, birds, mammals or reptiles, was discovered. It’s social behavior revolved around dominant adult males, which used their much larger size and aggressive behavior to take command of harems of females and young - rather like a lion with his pride. This mammal was the orca whale, also known as the “killer
Death of a Trainer: Increasing Aggression of Orcas Due to Ghastly Conditions in SeaWorld SeaWorld is one of the world’s most popular amusement parks, offering huge roller coasters and animal shows for people of all ages. Their largest attractions are their orca shows, showing several of their killer whales performing tricks with trainers. While, to many viewers, these performances show how docile these wild creatures are with their human counterparts, the destructive practices of SeaWorld have radically
