Orcas in Distress

Orcas in Distress

Do you like watching animals suffer just for your own enjoyment? Your sick. Animals shouldn't be taken away from their homes just to be made profit off of. The animals are taken out of their environment in the wild and treated poorly. Animals are meant to be free and roam the land freely. Captive animals can become hostile and dangerous to the trainors and whoever comes in contact with them. The Documentary Blackfish reveals all the type of life these poor animals go through especially orcas or Killer Whales.

Orca whales that were caught and introduced to their long lasting prison home in SeaWorld, went from swimming up to 100 miles a day to being placed in tanks that are much too little for them. The normal size of an orca whale can reach up to 20-26 feet long and can weigh as much as 22,000 pounds. The measure of the orca whales in contrast with the tanks they live in at SeaWorld are said to be in contrast with a "bathtub." An orca at SeaWorld would need to swim the boundary of the principle pool 1,900 times in one day to swim that same separation. After the orca whales are acquainted with their new home the mentors start to deal with preparing them. The technique to get the orca whales to perform is by using a “reward system”, in other words they didn't feed them until they did a trick. The orcas could decide to either perform and get fed as their prize or on the off chance that they declined to perform they would get nothing. Keeping the orca whales held hostage at SeaWorld under these conditions entirely to entertain is no reason at all to torment one.

Not just are the whales aggressive because of the little living space, they are consistently bred. Because catching wild orcas is illegal, SeaWorld was compelled to create calves through manual sperm injection. Tilikum the orca whale that was known for murdering trainer Dawn Broncheau and two others is the top reproducer for the SeaWorld business. Realizing that Tilikums calves are helpless to conveying his same aggressive nature, SeaWorld still breeds Tilikum and he now is a father to 21 calves. This over the top breeding makes it hazardous for the trainors. Outside of SeaWorld there have been no reports of death by wild orca whales, this makes it evident that orca whales are not known not forceful towards people, but rather they get hostile.

Despite the fact that SeaWorld is being addressed on the security of their trainor and the wellbeing of the orca whales. After a large portion of the mischances with mentors have been conveyed to light, SeaWorld makes it clear to the general public that the thought processes behind keeping the trainors associating with the whales is 100% for the wellbeing of the orca whales, and that the mishaps once in awhile happen.
