Blackfish

[Zef Otter]

Had anyone watched this documentary? If you did then what did you think of it?

Is it right to keep whales in captivity for profit?

For those who dont know what it is here is the link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackfish_(film)

To me its not Shocking to see that a corporation would look over such things like safety and the animals welfare for profit.

Alas, I thought this was going to be a Brynden Tully appreciation thread.

Spoiler: Long live the Blackfish!

OT: I don't find this kind of thing surprising, but immoral, certainly. A species as intelligent (and as dependent on wide, open space) as a whale shouldn't be held in captivity.

I don't doubt a great many workers at SeaWorld and the like don't believe they're doing anything wrong.

I agree, I find it very immoral and barbaric much like bear baiting in the middle ages. I just hope people wise up and start to denounce such entertainment and learn that intelligent wild animals are not pet or things to use for our amusement.

Well, I can certainly and honestly tell that I will never get the video of the Ken Peters attack they showed out of my head.

Ever.
