If someone truly wants to see a whale, is it not worth that extra effort? I mean, if I want to see a whale, a tiger, an elephant, I would much rather see them as God intended them to be, in their natural habitat, even if it costs me a considerable amount of money and time.
I do get it, that by keeping some species in captivity we have learned invaluable information, which is a good thing. At what point though is it enough and no longer necessary? |
I lived on Cape Cod once and you could go out on boats to see these wonderful animals...and I agree with you. Also when I went to Africa it was so different seeing these animals in the wild.
I do believe we have saved some species but many of these places put the animals first and they live in much more humane living conditions then Sea World provides these whales.
