Did A Sea World Whale Try To Kill Itself?
Morgan the killer whale appeared to beach herself and was filmed lying motionless for more than ten minutes by concerned onlookers

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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
