Did A Sea World Whale Try To Kill Itself?

An Orca located at Sea world was seen to show behaviors of trying to kill itself after performing for tourist. Many people have had a disgust with sea world as they have been revealed through documentaries the abuse they give towards their killer whales. The orca named Morgan who is located at Loro Parque, Spain. Morgan at the end of her “performance” had launched herself outside of the pool and laid still. This was a sign for help as orcas do not stay still and is seen as unnatural behavior. Laying still and enduring the pain instead of trying to get back into the water was a clear way of this animal giving up. This was also very dangerous as the body weight outside of water becomes heavier for the muscles and crush their organs. The orca just jumped onto the concrete as its last chance to rid itself of the immense torture that it has been through. This orca was born in the wild and was taken in to be treated and then released but the release never happened. Moran is still in captivity but their have been petitions for her release as more people begin to criticize Sea world's methods.

Killer whales should not be taught tricks for the laugh of a few thousand they are not small dogs who need to be taught obedience. Once a whale is taken from the wild and rehabilitated for a long period of time it can not maintain itself in the wild. Being taken from its natural home and pacts makes it difficult to learn how to survive on its own. Rehabilitation is supposed to be temporary until they are in good conditions to move and swim. In these situations money and power is what is most important for them to keep killer whales for profit. Orca whales in the wild live between 70-80 years old. Which is the most amazing and beautiful thing in the world. Except in captivity they live less than 9 years under Sea Worlds watch. Later there were pictures released of the trainers putting Morgan back into its tiny pool later on that day. He is still being held in captivity as other parties are tying to get more information on Morgan.

They are slowing being isolated and tormented until they die. Sea world has been known to lie about these numbers by telling people that they live up to ten years in order to keep their reputation but they live much longer than that. Later after this event taking a look at the other orcas they had in captivity a lot of them had fractured teeth,would be floating with no motion or strength in tiny tanks. There's now a Free Morgan Foundation that want to put an end to its captivity. Their should be an end Sea world Foundations to just get rid of Sea World to put an end to the pain they give to their killer whales. I'm still puzzled as to why Sea World is still a running business throughout the years of bad publicity on how poorly they treat their performing whales. It is strange to know that animals have the capability to end its own life. This gives the whale human attributes, which makes it so much easier to love.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much.

It's fun to see all of the selfies on social media, they are everywhere. I see pictures with pouty lips, duck lips and pucker lips. I see smokey eyes, huge fake lashes and nicely done nose jobs, boob jobs and butt lifts. Women working out in spandex, tiny tops and flip flops. I see tight abs and firm butts, manicured nails and toes, up dos and flowing hair. "Wow", I think to myself," I could apply tons of make-up, spend an hour on my hair, pose all day and not look like that. Maybe I need a longer stick!"
