save the orca whales from captivity


save the orca whales from captivity
The issue
Please help save the orca whales from getting hunted and captured for entertainment.
The population for orcas are rapidly declining already due to other reasons already such as pollution, habitat destruction and entanglement in fishing gear. Taking orcas from the wild can disrupt the balance of marine eco systems as they play a crucial role as apex predators regulating the populations of other species.
They are getting taken from their families at a very young age and being shipped off to tourist attractions such as Seaworld, which they are then confined to a very small space (I personally compare it to a human child being taken from there family locked up in a room there whole life). which they are then trained in cruel ways such as not feeding them and putting them in complete isolation. This has lead to cases where orcas have attacked human beings - some fatal.
Orca whales are highly social creatures and very emotionally driven. In the wild they live in pods so confining them in tanks and using them for entertainment purposes is a violation of their natural rights and inflicts immense suffering to these beautiful creatures. They do not belong in captivity at all. a law needs to be put in place where any and every sort of captivity for these creatures are made illegal!
