Check out the lame the comments/replies to my post from Sarah Ward of SeaWorld. She attacks Jacques Cousteau and defends cruel captivity! Heres her FB page: https://facebook/pages/Sarah-Ward/523331154355701. Nancy Smith: Theres about as much educational benefit studying dolphins [and whales] in captivity as there would be studying mankind by only observing prisoners held in solitary. Jacques Cousteau When we return wild animals to nature, we merely return them to what is already theirs. For man cannot give wild animals freedom, they can only take it away. Jacques Cousteau Whales [and dolphins], like chimpanzees, are highly intelligent and intensely social creatures, forming close emotional bonds between family and group members. I have watched them leap in the freedom of the ocean and feel deeply saddened and angered to see them in cruel captivity, swimming endlessly and hopelessly around their sterile concrete prisons. As David Kirby so eloquently documents in this timely work, killer whale captivity only benefits the captors. It is impossible to read “Death at SeaWorld “ and come to any other conclusion.” Dr. Jane Goodall Like · Reply · 27 · September 20 at 8:18am Sarah Ward: Yes, Jacques, the guy who took fish census by exploding dynamite underwater and counting the dead fish. Good choice! Like · 2 · 2 hrs Nancy Smith: What are you talking about?!? Dont try to spread your SeaPrison lies! Heres another Cousteau for you: ...For me, it’s been my dream for decades to make it illegal to capture any orcas anywhere for any reason. We will do everything we can to assist the decision makers to pass this historical bill, AB2140 and to make sure this paves the way for the freedom of orcas all around the world. Based on my personal experience with orcas in the wild and my observations of these magnificent animals in captivity, I believe there is no justification for allowing them to be used as performers in theme park shows and that breeding them in captivity to sustain a captive population solely for entertainment and profit is unacceptable. The concept of watching orcas perform tricks in theme parks is anti educational and is inhumane. These are animals that live in family pods for their whole lives with life spans similar to our own. Capturing orcas for entertainment and profit forces them to live in artificial families, in spaces that are insufficient, and rewards them with food for doing tricks they do not do in the wild. Today, we have the interactive film and video technology to show orcas in the wild to audiences around the world. For the amount of money a family spends to go to an animal park, they can have an on the water experience seeing whales in their natural environment. It is long past due for us as a thinking and caring human species to adopt and require practices that respect whales and respect their right to live in their natural wild environment. Anywhere on the planet we are connected to the ocean. We have the opportunity to do what needs to be done to protect our life support system and improve the quality of life not just of the marine environment – of the marine mammals, the orcas -- but for ourselves. This is the choice we have. If we protect the ocean, we protect ourselves. Jean-Michel Cousteau And here is, Dr. Paul Spong of OrcaLab: Reasons to end cetacean captivity in Vancouver Aquarium and marine parks. youtu.be/LxHM2UTawSA Lets hear your propaganda against the great, Jane Goodall, too. SeaPrison will try to do and/or say anything to continue their abusement park, but youre going down unless you change your ways and release your captives!! Revise your business model to anti-captivity! Support cetaceans in the sea, not in cement chlorinated tanks. Instead of building bigger tanks, build an amazing 3-D experience with footage of pods of whales, dolphins, sea lions, sharks, fish, octopus, etc. Make a simulation experience. Buy a SeaWorld yacht/ship and bring patrons out to sea for a whale or dolphin watching cruise. We need SeaWorld to be forward thinking. Captivity is a barbaric thing of the past!
