Baleen whale

Summary of the situation My project is about dolphins in captivity. Dolphins are being taken from their homes and families and put into small tanks and pools for people to look at and watch them perform tricks. Dolphins often swim over 100km a day but dolphins that are held in captivity don’t get nearly as much exercise. These dolphins are often bored and are either sitting at the bottom of the pool or floating at the top, but dolphins in the wild don’t usually rest and are very active.. When…

Ken Peters, who mainly worked with the whale Kasatka, was dragged under water by her for long periods of time by his feet. Peters managed to escape alive with only broken feet. Seaworld then claimed it as a win on their part saying they trained him well and he remained calm thanks to their training (“CNN Films Presents: Blackfish”). There have also been many deaths related to Seaworld’s orcas; Dawn Brancheau was killed by Tilikum, Seaworld’s main breeder whale, in 2010. Before that, Tilikum…

Sharks are the definition of evil in a vast amount of a human's eyes. Because most do not know the facts, most will not face their fears. People with a serious fear of sharks have what is called galeophobia(Surfer Today) ,which makes one who easily builds up with anxiety terrified, such as glancing at a writing form like this.(Penberthy). Humanity has ruined everyone's perspective on sharks by hiding the truth so they will think badly of them because what sharks have done in the past. Humans…

I have recently watched the documentary, Blackfish. After I watched this I had a totally different view on whales in captivity. Seaworld shows in there commercials that it is a perfect place for the whales when in reality it is not. When I was younger I saw them as pets that could do tricks, but now I see that it is not acceptable for these whales to be contained in spaces that don’t accommodate their size and living needs. This is a serious problem in our world today. Many people see these…

There also has been a video that came out about how mermaids are real, there is a step by step on the aquatic ape theory and how it fits into the mermaids expanding onto different territory and becoming the way they are now. Animal planet is the channel that aired this video, according to the article, “4 Signs That Educational TV is Totally Dead” Bell said, “Unfortunately, 79 percent of viewers assumed this was a real documentary. But the worst part is that the idea of faking educational…

seas. The killer whale is the most cosmically huge member of the dolphin family, and there are about 5 various species of orcas in the oceans. These amazing creatures hunt in pods that consist of 6 to 40 killer whales. They hunt for gigantic fish, seal, and sea lion and frequently seabirds and mammals. The orca’s top speed is approximately 30 mph but can travel at 26 mph for long periods of time. It is normal for an orca to swim more than 50 miles without going up for air. Killer whales are…

The blob fish has always been dubbed "the world's most disgusting animal", but to me it's one of the most wonderful creatures ever tob grace the earth. The blob fish or in scientific terms, the "Psychrolutes marcidus"live in the deep waters around the coasts of Australia and Tasmania. They live in waters of 80 times the normal presure of sea level. Normally any creature at that depth would be crushed and die, but the blob fish has no bones. It's body is entirely made of strange gelatinous flesh…

SeaWorld is not only a fun place to see animals do tricks, but the training behind it is not what it seems. Nobody thinks about how much time is spent training the whales or the damage being to them. “Do not cry for me I am free now Fight for me Be our voice. Be our hope,” (Cotillard). Many of the whales should not be held captive in small tanks doing tricks just for entertainment. However, many organizations are created to voice opinions and animal captivity. The People for the Ethical…
