Opposing view of orca captivity

       I don’t think orcas should be kept in captivity. They are too big of animals to be kept in such a small enclosure. It is proven that they are much happier in the wild, not kept in a large fishbowl. Even though I know it is better for orcas to be kept in the wild, I can understand why some people might believe they should be kept in captivity. It is true that the orcas at SeaWorld and other places like that have doctors and people to help and give them the things they need when they are hurt or sick but, would they be getting as hurt or sick if they were in the wild like they were meant to be? Another reason people might think it’s okay for Orcas to be kept in captivity is that they don’t put themselves in the position of the whales. If you really think about it, it’s like being trapped in a bathtub for the rest of your life, when you're used to being able to go wherever you want. Wouldn’t you get upset? If you thought orcas should be kept in captivity, I hope this changed your mind.

  1. Even though you don't agree with keeping them in captivity, you do a good job arguing for both sides. Thank you for sharing your post this week.
