Born to Be Wild

As I mentioned a few times, the movie Blackfish is about killer whales stuck in captivity at local attractions such as Sea World. It really sickens me to see such a beautiful creature living in conditions like that. In the wild, whales swim hundreds of miles a day. Sea World provides a tank for them to stay in overnight. To these whales, its just like a bath tub. How is that even morally okay? Being stuck in the same tank and swimming endless circles can LITERALLY make these animals go psychotic and act out. Not only is it cruel and inhumane for these animals, it is a danger to anyone who is exposed to them. They claim that they care for these animals but clearly their only main priority is putting on a good show.

In 2013, a worldwide event called Empty The Tanks took place in 9 different countries.
21 locations of captivated marine mammals were set free.
