Sorry, not a liberal at all. And yes, I was trying to emphasize a point with the FY remark.
I think it's incredibly cruel to catch wild animals and put them in cages for the purpose of entertainment. What's the point of reducing their life to a miserable existence? So you can watch them swim in a circle? So you can watch them jump out of water? We took my daughter to Sea World around 20 years ago. I wasn't against it then. But I thought it was the most boring place I've ever been to.

Good thing they aren't miserable, then.

Is that all you think happens?

What about not existing at all!

The California zoo is famous for its work helping to save China's giant panda. Three panda cubs have been born at the zoo already. The San Diego Zoo now has the largest population of giant pandas outside mainland China.

SO people can watch and learn while paying.. that enables Seaworld and zoos to research and learn.
Seaworld has not captured whales in 34 years.
Seaworld actually rescues and releases animals on a regular basis.

Per CNN:
quote:
SeaWorld notes that Blackfish "withholds from viewers key facts about SeaWorld," including that SeaWorld has rescued, rehabilitated, and returned to the wild hundreds of wild animals: Do any of those animals include orcas?
quote:
Yes, though killer whales do not beach with the same frequency as other species and when they do it is typically a last ditch effort at survival. Killer whales, like all stranded marine mammals, are generally gravely ill, injured, malnourished, dehydrated, very old or very young, and do not survive long on shore. Nonetheless, we've assisted whales many times, including killer whales. The largest whale to ever be rescued, rehabilitated and returned to the wild -- J.J. the orphaned gray whale calf -- was part of our rescue program.
quote:
You can read about our role in rescuing killer whales from Barnes Lake in Alaska here and our role in rescuing a killer whale named Springer here. We also assisted our colleagues at Dolfinarium in Holland with veterinary care and husbandry for an orphaned and hearing-impaired juvenile killer whale they rescued. SeaWorld was part of the team to help Luna, as well as a young killer whale stranded near Puerto Vallarta in Mexico. We also are regularly called upon to do pathology on beached whales that do not survive.
SO again, they know how to do this because of their research. They have the funds, in part, by bringing humans closer for a fee.
