Next time you "voice your opinion" do some research before hand!
Oh, and your threats really aren't very strong... I really don't care if you use my footage! Actually, I give you permission! So ha! Now you can't use it without permission because I just gave it to you!! I only put that in there incase I do happen to use someone else's picture.

And finally, even if you hate captivity, there's nothing you can do! Releasing them all into the wild would create mass deaths because they are not able to handle all the pressures of the wild! MOST of the animals at the aquarium I work at are there because they kept returning to human contact! They couldn't survive on their own and BY THEIR OWN CHOICE came back into human contact! If you refuse to keep them in captivity, you are basically sentencing them to death in the wild!

Fifth, if you stop supporting Sea World and all other aquarium, you also stop supporting ANY research done to help the animals in the wild. Many animals are becoming extinct and research done in captivity helps to ensure their survival. But all programs like these are supported almost entirely by aquariums and the likes. If they lose their funding, you can bet that there will be MANY more extinctions in the near future. Sea World and others are the MAIN contributors to conservation!

Third, the purpose of aquariums like Sea World is to inspire other ppl to care for an protect these animals! Aquariums and zoo give ppl a chance to see these animals up close... something that is very rare for most ppl! No animals is "exploited"! They are ambassadors for their wild counterparts. Fourth, most animals in captivity now have been born in captivity, not wild captured and so if you say captivity is necessary for preservation, your whole argument just became irrelevant!

First, they do not perform "tricks". They're behaviors because tricks implies something magical and the things they are trained are things they would do naturally. Second, the animals are NOT starved! I've NEVER heard anything so far from the truth! They know full well that they don't have to participate in order to receive food! And trust me, the animals doesn't always participate. But most do because it's fun for them too! If it wasn't, they wouldn't do anything!
