After watching Blackfish‚ I think that Kant would say that going to Sea World‚ let alone holding animals in a confined space‚ is not morally correct. Kant’s moral philosophy is that one is doing something for the right reasons. Sea World is not holding animal’s captive for the right reason. Sure‚ it’s fun to go and look at all the animals and it can‚ in some ways‚ be a good educational experience‚ for people of all ages. However‚ the fact that we are putting these animals in a type of “cage” and

Dolphin assisted therapy (DAT) is a highly controversial topic in the medical world. Is it medicine or simply recreation? Whatever you might believe‚ you cannot deny the fact that dolphins are loving and nurturing mammals with the ability to show compassion.

A Career in Marine Mammal Science Many people want to become involved with marine mammals such as sea otters‚ dolphins‚ seals‚ manatees‚ or whales.

but is our entertainment worth the suffering these animals endure behind the scenes? The answer is no. The billions of animals that are subjected to abuse outweigh any claimed benefits that can be made of these businesses. The debate of zoos and parks being ethical or unethical has two main arguments‚ these being the animal abuse involved and the supposed benefits. Evidence suggests that captive animals suffer both psychological and physical abuse. For example‚ being confined in small areas with

A Dolphin’s Nightmare The makers of The Cove effectively use ethos‚ logos‚ and pathos‚ as a call to action to end the annual slaughter of twenty thousand dolphins in Taiji‚ Japan. Though faced with many challenges due to the perverse Japanese government the filmmakers were able to portray the nightmare these dolphins endure.

The Bill of Rights consists of the 10 amendments in the United States Constitution. These amendments gave people rights and freedoms such as freedom of speech‚ freedom of religion‚ and the right to bear arms. If the Bill of Rights were made for animals‚ they would receive the rights and freedom that they deserve.

However‚ it is quite the opposite‚ and living in captivity can cause stress and severe emotional damage. A prime example of the effects captivity has on animals‚ is the shocking facts regarding elephants. Quite surprisingly‚ it has been proven that elephants in zoos fare much more poorly than those that live in the wild. It is the common belief that life in zoos is much safer due to the fact that food is provided and there are no predators‚ whereas animals in the wild have to fend for themselves

Zoos‚ aquariums and circuses have had a lot of controversy over their uses of animals in captivity. After SeaWorld announced they will not have any killer whales in their facility people reacted with a cheer and some with sadness.

According to Lisa Lange‚ senior vice president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has said “Change

in the documentary “The Cove” had a very strong and heartfelt story. It touches on how there are more dolphin’s killed during dolphin hunting season than there are whales killed in the Antarctic. The dolphins are lured into a cove in the National Park at Taiji‚ Wakayama and killed by dolphin hunters by spears over the side of their boats and nets. This documentary fell under the category of a social documentary in my eyes. The anti-dolphin hunters are trying to make the people of Japan aware of
