    After Seaworld Analysis

    Aquatic and wild animals seem to be a huge contribution of our society and entertainment, but rarely we see incidents recently recalling killer whales at SeaWorld. Reading the article “After Seaworld, ‘Blackfish effect’ on circuses and zoos?” by Kelly Wallace, shows the viewpoint on the topic of the movie called “Blackfish.” The film is about Seaworld and the famous killer whale Tilikum. The history of him and his seaworld experience was introduced. He ended up killing his trainer Dawn Brancheau, and some people even blamed her for it. This is a topic that is rarely discussed in society, but it seems as if people have a misunderstanding or don't know enough about it to have an opinion.

    Orca Whales In Captivity Analysis

    I picked my essay about orca whales in captivity, specifically in SeaWorld. I made some researches about that and looked at several documentaries about whales in captivity as well in wild life. I found a very interesting article in Los Angeles Times, which I want to analyze. The first SeaWorld Park opened in 1964 orca whales were not popular; they were even hated and also hunted. Half a centaury later people came to SeaWorld and learned about these animals and started to like orca whales, which led to, that visitors don’t think orcas belong in human care. The California Coastal Commission, which is a state agency, wants to ban breeding orcas in SeaWorld. SeaWorld declared they are ending the breeding program with orcas and the theatrical shows…
