I don't think this was a 'bad' whale that attacked. The stresses these animals are faced with are enough to make any one snap. Whales are one species that man just cannot provide an adequate environment for. I see no good reason for them to be kept in captivity, other than for amusement. Whatever research and info we may have gotten from keeping them should have been concluded long ago and there is no justification (to me) in keeping them in captivity. |
