Change

There has been controversy lately about whales, dolphins, and porpoises in captivity. I need only one argument to dissuade those who believe captivity to be wrong: SeaWorld is the best place on earth. It has absolutely everything. Excitement. Adventure. Creatures of massive proportions held against their will. Extorting the intelligence of these creatures for a profit. Animals removed from their natural environments. And claims of natural deaths for all of the creatures who have died in this peaceful low-stress environment. There is absolutely no better place to take the kids and teach them a valuable lesson in keeping animals in their place. Others might look at incidents of the animals being unhappy, but I look at those pictures on SeaWorld’s website and I think that they look like just about the happiest group of whales held captive that I have ever seen. I would imagine that they are probably happier than Baby beluga in his big blue sea. What whale wants to swim in all of that unfamiliar territory in the ocean? They don’t want all of that adventure or excitement. These animals deserve a soothing, stress-free lifestyle of performing for screaming crowns every day. So for all of those people who are against captivity, I say that it is in these magestic creature's best interest.
