Japanese Dolphin Intro
Why should WE help them??? * Killing is cruel: Killing is bloody- What is the difference of killing Dolphins and why are we so outraged? * We don’t need to kill Japanese Dolphins- why can’t we stop eating Dolphins’ meat? * Dolphins are too intelligent- they can communicate with others by just using sounds and gestures, and can be trained like performers. * Japanese Cove Dolphins are seriously endangered, and wild. We should let them live freely without being poached and accidentally caught in fish-nets. * Dolphins are really cute animals and we do not want them to be gone! * The habitat of Dolphins- Ocean is equal to others’ habitats. * Dolphins can earn high income for Entertainment Parks as they are very popular.

Statistics??? * More than 20,000 Japanese Dolphins are innocently killed each year and slaughtered. It means, more than 240,000 Japanese Dolphins are killed each year, especially in Taiji, Japan. * Entertainment Parks treat Dolphins badly if they misbehave of what they needed to do (perform).

Ways to HELP??? * Support Save-japan-dolphins.org (“The Cove” team). * Take the pledge not to buy a ticket to a Dolphin show. * Tell Zoos, Aquariums and Entertainment Parks to stop aiding the Dolphin killing. * Spread your voice to the world to end the slaughter. * Donate to Save-japan-dolphins.org * Less Ocean-pollution, the better habitat they live. * Less Sound-pollution, the better can that Dolphins can live without being disturbed.

    For many years, people have gone to places like SeaWorld in either Orlando, California, or Texas to marvel at and to be entertained by the creatures known as Orcinus orca. For those people not familiar with the scientific term, they are also called Orca whales. These powerful, magnificent, intelligent creatures have become the trademarks of the parks where they entertain, and they have also made a lasting impression on the children and adults who come to see any of their shows. “More than 13 million people flock to the company’s three parks in Orlando, San Diego, and San Antonio to see Shamu every year (Vary, linccweb.org)”. But while it is true that people greatly enjoy these shows, there is a growing controversy regarding the argument about whether these animals should be caged or free. This paper is going to explore both sides of this argument, while…

    With a total of 23 beautiful orca whales, it is no surprise SeaWorld attracted 4.4 million tourists in 2014. These millions flock to watch the black and white beauties swim, splash, and wave in front of huge audiences and charismatic trainers, but these millions might not be so excited once they watch, Blackfish. In the documentary, Blackfish, filmmakers attempt to discredit the SeaWorld corporation, for compromising the welfare of captive orcas for a higher financial gain. Blackfish caused quite the stir when it comes to SeaWorld’s treatment of their orcas, and brought into question, if it is ethical to keep these animals in captivity.…

    Imagine you are in a boat right off the shores of Greece. You happen to look up and out of the corner of your eye you see something. As your gaze adjusts, you notice it's a killer whale, being torn away from his home. A large net encloses in in, attached to a large ship. Now, imagine you are sitting in the stands at SeaWorld, surrounded by hundreds of people, people waiting so eagerly to lay eyes on this year’s rendition of “Shamu”. When you look into the cement “pool”, you see him. You see the majestic, beautiful, free, wild animal now in captivity. Only, this time, he looks tired, old, neglected, abused, and lifeless. This is exactly what SeaWorld is doing to killer whales. They take these wild animals out of their natural habitat and force them into captivity.…

    Whales in Captivty

    “ .. Animals they hold are better off in human care and perhaps even enjoy it.” ("WSPA") Yes, because they really enjoy dying. We’re pretty much killing them for our own entertainment. The Vancouver Aquarium Marine Science Centre says that they’re “helping whales and dolphins reproduce and are raising awareness for species survival”, when actually, having these mammals captive is the cause of their population decreasing. The aquarium is there for them when they’re sick, and they try to do the best of their ability to save them, but in some cases, they can’t. They can’t stop the whale from endless circling. They can’t perk their drooping dorsal fins. They can’t keep them from getting depressed. And they can’t stop the harmful things the whales are going to do to people.…

    Since the opening of SeaWorld on March 21st, 1946, one of the ocean’s most incredible creatures have been constantly suffering unnerving torture. Instead of being able to live freely in their natural habitat, the Orca whales at SeaWorld have been forced to live in captivity. Although there may be scientific benefits to their captivity, SeaWorld should still be closed indefinitely given that the treatment of the Orcas is incredibly inhumane.…

    Who does not love to see dolphins and whales flipping and doing tricks? Although the animals look happy and unharmed, there is a dark truth behind the captive marine life in amusement parks and zoos. Yes, attending zoos and marine life amusement parks are a part of childhood; but recently researchers have discovered just how cruel the environment is for the marine life in captivity. After studies of comparing the quality of life of marine animals in the wild and in captivity, there are multiple examples shown in Blackfish, PETA, and the Animal Welfare Institute that show that animals prosper and live longer in their natural habitats. Due to the cruelty endured by the captivated Orcas, all the SeaWorld parks should be shut down and the Orca whales should be set free to prevent further demise to their species.…

    While they are not an endangered species, they are hunted mercilessly by the fish industry especially off the coasts of China, Japan and parts of the North Pacific by the Russians (Ivashchenko 73). This extreme hunting has left the oceans with an unknown number of whales and thus, keeping them in facilities such as SeaWorld helps to replenish their numbers. However, since SeaWorld no longer catches or buys wild whales and instead breeds them for the very purpose of continuing the gene pool as Hardgrove describes in his book, it doesn’t help any animals still left in the wild. In fact, having such high numbers in captivity, while still allowing whaling practices to continue, we encourage whaling to go on. We can’t both praise whale captivity, and leave whales in nature to fend for themselves if we are really worried about…

    Quoted from Peta.org “Dolphins from Clearwater Marine Aquarium in Florida were unable to open their eyes and their skin started peeling off as the chemicals in the water had unknown side effects.” The tanks are so limited that they spend more than half of their times above water, causing them to obtain sunburns, which the performers cover with black zinc so the viewers can not see the sun burn on the orcas backs. Marine parks put on shows showing people dolphins who can hug their trainers and whales who can be trained to kiss a trainer. This is teaching people unrealistic expectations about the animals and humans relationships. This leads to incidents like the selfie taking tourists that passed around a baby dolphin like a toy for photos, and ended up killing the helpless creature in the progress.…

    The slaughtering of the dolphins is carried out using very cruel methods. Dolphins are acoustic animals meaning they are sensitive to sound; it is how they collect their information. The Japanese use this to their advantage and exploit their sensitivity and by whacking metal pipes along the sides of their boats, creating a loud, thundering sound. This creates a barrier of sound and drives them towards the bay as they attempt to escape the fearful noise, marking the beginning of a long and torturous process.…

    One of Japan’s excuse for whaling is that it is for “science purposes”. First of all, that excuse for whaling has been proven a lie. Scientists say that Japan’s whaling program is absolutely unscientific. According to International Student Volunteers, whaling is when whales are being harvested of meat, oil, and other products. Whale meat is not used as much as it was after World War 2. In an article from The Sydney Morning Herald called Deep fears drive Japanese whaling, it claims that, “Nor does Japan, a highly developed First World nation, have any need to supplement its supplies of protein with whale meat as it did in the dark days that followed the Second World War. Environmental groups such as Sea Shepherd point out that Japan now holds thousands of tonnes of whale in cold storage.” (Watson 1). This demonstrates that whale meat is not needed if it is just being put into storages. Therefore, whaling is not necessary. In an article from Treehugger called 18% of Grade Schools in Japan Feed Whale to Kids, it explains that nobody wants to buy the whale meat, so the solution was to sell it to schools in Japan. According to the text, it says, “While there's certainly a place for whales in grade schools -- it should be in the students' imagination, not their stomachs.” (Messenger 1). This quote demonstrates that there is no place for whale…

    These animals can become dangerous because the biggest factor that triggers anger in marine mammals is stress. This is due to the amount of space they are offered and since it’s space is very lacking with interaction and no roaming-space, this can cause psychological damage and can damage the internal organs like the immune system. In the case of orcas, the damage of the immune system will leave them open to infections that they easily fight off in the wild (“Win-Win Solution” 1). Psychological damage can also increase misbehavior of marine mammals and can cause tragic accidents to occur. For example, A survey from the university of California was conducted and the results that came out was there were 251 cases where more than half of marine mammal workers have been injured by these animals (Farinato 35). Some incidents that are notable include the infamous death of Dawn Brancheau, A Seaworld orca trainer, who was pulled into a tank by a killer whale named Tilikum during a Seaworld show; it is still considered controversial if Tilikum was playing or he was frustrated with being captive (Harmon 1). It’s most likely that he was attacking due to frustration because orcas in the wild rarely attack humans, and they are usually extremely friendly with humans when they are encountered. They also have complex brains, and vocal communications like humans do (Gorman 1). When dolphins are captured from the wild, they experience traumatic stress because they never have been in an enclosed space before and they never have moved between two enclosures; thus, stress will increase the chance of a dolphin dying. Even though marine mammals showing signs of aggression is a major controversy when it comes to marine confinement, there are more than one issue…
