Marineland (Canada) is a Hellhole

2. I Think We Should Shut Down Seaworld Here in the US

I wouldn't be surprised if there are some hidden stories about SeaWorld that are comparable to Marineland.

All of those animals SeaWorld has in captivity did not evolve to live in small pools and tanks. I've read that the reason the Killer Whales' dorsal fins bend over is because the fins atrophy due to the fact the whales don't get to swim long distances that give the fins "exercise" and so they atrophy. Just like humans' muscles atrophy from lack of use or "exercise." Their fins are not muscles but, rather, cartilage however the principle is the same.

I think it's cruelty to animals that once roamed thousands of square miles to lock them up in small tanks and pools and put them on display for money.
