Man has a long history of domesticating animals, whether it be horses for farming or dogs as pets. The difference from keeping a few Neon Tetras and an Orca are significantly diverse. “Evidence of fish keeping dates back to the Sumerians (2500Bc) and the Babylonians (500Bc)”. However, orcas are not fish, they are highly intelligent mammals among the most in the world, making them particularly unsuitable to live in captivity. The great difference in behavior and treatment of captive whales and those in the wild is sickening. Tilikum -a captive orca whale that features in sea world- has taken the lives of several people, while this isn't a first for whales in captivity it is something that has never occurred in the wild. Captive whales are unable to display normal behavior. For example; in a natural environment orcas would swim at least 100 miles a day, this would mean circling round the performance pool 1,900 times which is impossible to do as they are kept in small dark pools, only 20 feet across, when not on show. Deprived of everything that is natural and important to the whale, stress, anxiety and aggressive behavior develop, so without the ability for whales to distance themselves from their pod, dominance can only be shown by biting down on the cages that surround them, causing serious oral damage resulting in painful drilling with the absence of anesthetic. Meaning the whale cannot be released, due to the extreme dental work done on captive orcas making them unable to hunt successfully in the wild. As well as the harsh treatment whales have to endure once being captured, the actual capturing of the whale is also a frightful concept. Heartbreaking violent captures from the wild involve the rounding up of orca pods and using bombs and nets ripping the young calves from their ocean homes to be confined in small tanks for cheap entertainment. During a capture disturbing shrieks and squeals fill the air for miles as helpless moth
