Forbid the captivity of healthy and able Orca whales

Created by H.L. on October 28, 2013

The capturing and confinement of healthy and able Killer Whales in inadequate enclosures is inhumane.
These large predatory mammals swim an average of 100 miles a day and are not designed to be confined to such small aquariums, especially when it's purely out of human entertainment. These powerful animals have shown aggression and violence on multiple occasions by killing trainers. How many more people have to die before we realize that the captivity of these whales is barbaric, inhumane, unsafe, and ultimately impossible?
