Quote:Yeah -- ummm -- if you are stupid enough to believe that a long-domesticated species of dog bouncing between your back yard and your home is the same as an orca snatched from the wild and forced to live in a jumbo swimming pool -- well -- you need some remedial biology help.


Those animals live between 50-80 years in the wild, much like us.


25 years is unfortunately a normal life-span for them in captivity.


They can easily cover 2000 miles in a year of migration, feeding, and mating in the open ocean.

Yet - you think sticking them in a swimming pool to do tricks for you is not "harmful?" You are kidding yourself.


Next time you look at your 8-60 pound pet and think it's got it good between your house and yard - think about a 12,000 pound whale living in a concrete pool jumping through hoops just to get fed. How big should it's house/yard be?


Screw Sea-World and any moron who isn't compassionate enough to see the cruelty they inflict.
