ANIMAL KILLER CAPTIVITY

Killer whales are captured when they are just a few years old and many may drown during capture! The unluckiest ones survive only to be shipped off to marine parks to spend the rest of their short lives in captivity caged unnaturally in small concrete, chlorinated tanks and forced to perform stupid tricks for human entertainment! Living in a small tank is like putting humans in a bathroom to live the rest of their lives! You may live but for how long and how will you like it?

Killer whales live up to 80 years in the wild but in captivity they rarely live past the age of 30. The only way a killer whale may possibly be released back into the wild is for the families who patronize marine parks wth their children to just stopping coming to the park's killer whale attraction.

This is somewhat similar to the atrocity mankind perpetuates when he sets out to create a white tiger to be turned into nothing more than a human spectacle. It takes litter after litter, maybe a hundred or more tigers to be born and bred to MAYBE eventually come up with just one unnatural white tiger!

However, atrocities against animals may be just as much cultural as they may be for greed and human entertainment. For example, in Third World countries they put exotic animals in zoos made of bare, concrete enclosures and zoo management is hard pressed to stop people torturing and tormenting the animals out of ignorance and fear! Many animals die in Third World country zoos after choking on foreign objects and being poisoned by substances given to them by zoo patrons who basically fear the animals or have nothing but contempt for the animals!
