OK, you're clearly either trolling, or support PETA. Either way, there is no sense trying to talk logically with you. Here's what your argument boils down to: "I don't like the idea of animals being in captivity because of my own personal bias". If that's you opinion, you're welcome to it. You can't then scream "It's evil and they torture animals!" to give your argument more weight. They aren't evil, and they don't torture animals the same way any responsible pet owner doesn't miss treat their dogs. Yet you never hear anyone saying "These animals are being deprived of their freedoms". Oh wait PETA do. You can't reasonably talk to these people. So like I say, you're either trolling or you just straight out don't care for facts. That being the case, I don't see any need for this thread to continue.

I'm going to regret providing more ammunition for this maggot, but in the interests of setting the record straight - this may be the case now, but Sea World GC was once involved in the capture of wild animals for it's exhibits - and Trevor Long himself was involved in that. It is a past the park regrets, but it was back in a time when nobody knew any better, and I don't think that should be held against them now. And your ignorance astounds me. There are two sides to every story, and yet you're only prepared to listen to one, despite the very clear obvious slant from the 'other side'. You have to take both with a grain or salt. And is that your expert marine-veterinary medical opinion? or are you just rabbiting what the angelic movie directors told you? You keep going on about concrete pools and enclosed baths. First of all - sit in a bath. Now stretch out without crossing the edge of the tub. You can't move, can you? On the other hand, i've seen numerous animals in SW swimming, lazily or at high speed... So i'd say we're dealing with more than a bath tub. Yes they have small quarantine pools, but usually the Quarantine area is for an injured animal that we probably don't want swimming lots anyway - at least until it is healthy. A family friend of mine was heavily involved in animal behaviours at Sea World Gold Coast for many years. I can vouch for the fact that the animals are not forced to do anything they do not wish to do. this is why no two dolphin shows are the same, and you never see the same number of dolphins doing the same trick every single show. the show is tailored and altered depending on which dolphins are in the mood to play... and the word is PLAY not perform. None of them are starved - each receives food appropriate to their weight, health and diet. What they receive during shows are rewards, and this is over and above their regular daily feeds. So very tired of uneducated cocksuckers thinking they know better than parks that make a business out of conservation and rescue, especially after seeing a movie (or filming one!!!)
