Orcas are magnificent mammals that do not deserve to be kept in captivity. They are far too large to be confined to such a small space. In the wild, they swim miles upon miles each day with their pods. When in captivity, they only have roughly 48 feet. It is a breath taking experience to be able to watch orcas and interact with them at aquariums,
but at the orca's expense. I petition that there be a ban placed on keeping orcas in captivity and on display for the viewing pleasure of tourist. Over recent years great headway has been made for human rights and equality, I believe it is time to do the same for those without voices. Orcas love interaction with humans just as much as humans love interacting with orcas, but keeping them in captivity is decreasing their quality of life.
