That pool is considerably small when compared to the ocean... and to the average amount these orcas swim a year

@@hirochica if you really care about these beautiful creatures you shouldn’t support a business like sea world or any zoos that keep whales captive when it is clearly visible that they can’t provide the right environment for them to live in. Another thing you can do to advocate for the well-being of orcas and other whales is to sign petitions and protest against the captivity of whales. Educate your self watch nature shows such as seaspiracy and our planet. To truly understand that keeping these creatures captive like what is shown in the videos is not right, and is abuse to them as it is harming their wellbeing.

@@Vvvvvvv3 Yes, I understand your thought. So, are you in the camp that says we don't need aquariums and zoos on earth? I don't think so. I don't think so, because zoos and aquariums have a role to play other than entertainment. What you may not know is that zoos and aquariums are museums and research facilities. 1. facilities for collecting, preserving, researching, exhibiting, and disseminating educational materials 2. facilities that support people's learning activities through actual materials 3. biodiversity contributes greatly to the maintenance of the global environment. Facilities necessary for understanding how it works and the global environment. Do you think it is just an entertainment facility? I'm not saying that it doesn't have that element at all, but we do collect money from visitors to see it, and we use that money for breeding management and research. The visitors can also learn about the latest research from the keepers. Measures to reduce stress in animals vary from country to country, but in recent years, Japan has also established guidelines to provide the necessary environment for each animal. The pool where the orcas live here may be small, but it would cost a lot of money to make it bigger. It's not something that can be done overnight. But even if we return these orcas to the sea right now, all of them were born and raised in this aquarium. If we returned them to the sea, they would not know how to catch food, and they would be attacked and killed by other groups of orcas and animals. Well, aquariums and zoos are not stupid, so they are doing a lot of trial and error. At any rate, I feel that it's useless to discuss with people who think that zoos and aquariums are just entertainment facilities, so I'd like to end with this, although it's been a long time.

@@hirochica lmao I’m thinking about the wellbeing of these animals... The data is clear that orcas in captivity suffer from extreme stress, injuries, disease and infections, and survive on average less than ten years in captivity. Compared to wild orcas that live. In the wild, male orcas live to an average of 30 years (maximum 50-60 years) and 46 years for females (maximum 80-90 years). At least 170 orcas have died in captivity, not including 30 miscarried or still-born calves. SeaWorld holds 19 orcas in its three parks in the United States. I’m advocating that breeding programmes that are going on to be stopped so no more orcas have to imprisoned for human entertainment... and you know what there are plenty of research programmes going on around the world that doesn’t capture creatures to then train the for tricks for the entertainment of the public which then fill out the pockets of capitalists that don’t care about the wellbeing of their animals. We should be stewards of the earth. We should be caring about animals and the environment? How is keeping orcas like this benefiting the environment? What we should do is help with global warming and going on more plant based diets to help reduce the environmental impacts of out diets Look JUST WATCH SEASPIRACY AND COWSPIRACY.

@@Vvvvvvv3 I can't talk to you when you think that orcas are only allowed to do tricks. Is it the impact on the environment? Let me ask you this, if you found an animal that was going extinct, what would you do? You would say, "Let's protect it," right? But at that point, it's already too late. Protecting an animal from extinction that hasn't been studied at all is just your kind of twisted animal rights egoism. You don't know which animals need what kind of food, what kind of bedding, what kind of temperature, and what kind of environment for mating until you raise them. You can only find out these things over a long period of time, and it is too late to start when they are about to become extinct. Performing arts is not just for the sake of entertaining the audience, of course. The only reason I do it in front of the audience is because I'm getting paid for it. If you feel so sorry for them, why don't you pay to buy all the animals from zoos and aquariums around the world and return them to nature? I don't know how much it would cost. I think the trainers at Sea World are much more animal-friendly than people like you. They check the orcas' health early every morning, train them so that they don't get stressed out, take breaks and play with them in moderation because they get sick of training alone, take them to the doctor if they're not feeling well, and don't force them to do shows. Have you seen the other videos and stuff? There are days when the orcas boycott the show. In those cases, I leave everything up to the orcas and resume the show when they are back in the mood, or cancel the show if they don't want to go on. I don't know about the orcas in other countries, but at least the trainers here care about the orcas more than anyone else. We can't give them back to nature, but instead we give them a lot of love and care, and we do our best to study the orcas, which we still don't understand. During the break, we had this exchange. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnTEmXx3mbWihpI Is this killer whale unhappy? To me, he loves his trainer and doesn't seem unhappy to be living here. That would be a lie to say that they are not 100% unhappy, but that's the same in the human world as in the natural world, isn't it? If you still feel sorry for yourself after seeing this killer whale, then I think it's best not to talk about it anymore, because it's a parallel line even if we talk to each other. You can go on with your activities, and I will continue to love and support the orcas here.
