Every action has a reaction

                At first, I wasn’t aware of this issue. Before I known about this, I didn’t watch much news and was very ignorant towards animal abuse. I knew there was animal abuse but I thought it would come from regular people who just had an abusive personality. I never knew and never would have thought that companies would actually do such horrific, vulgar things to innocent animals. Actions like these made me realized that companies can do cruel things even though they’re multimillionaire companies.   

                I completely disagree about keeping animals in captivity for our enjoyment. I personally believe that is not only wrong but inconsiderate. I like that’s inconsiderate because you’re only thinking about yourself and not thinking what the animals are going through just to see you entertained. Watching Blackfish made me realized and reflect everything animals have to do for us and I think that’s wrong because animals shouldn’t do that.

Companies like SeaWorld have so much money to provide at least a nice home from Orcas but they choose to leave Orcas with an unbearable home. SeaWorld even denied the accusations that Blackfish presented to them, saying they were inaccurate and misleading. SeaWorld should make changes and just solve the problem. Orcas live in wide places and shouldn’t even be taken out of their own habitat. It doesn’t surprise me that the Orcas killed someone which is still not right to take someone’s life but they shouldn’t place Orcas in that environment and not except them to act violently. Anyone in captivity, in the darkness makes anyone insane and probably won’t come back the same.  Many people think that Orcas reacted off their instinct and they are “dangerous” animals but they’re not. In their habitant they are proven to be harmless and caused no harm. I believe animals react towards how they’re treated, if you treat them with harsh and unlivable conditions; they will obviously react just how you treated them.

                Orcas Awareness Project is an amazing project. Orcas Awareness Project brings many things towards the awareness of Orcas. It provides an example to people who think that they can’t make a difference because they’re not “famous”. I often hear people say they can’t make a difference with just them but that’s not true at all. Many people who live normal lives make a difference in our society everyday by doing simple things like making a video or writing a blog. Orcas Awareness Project was made by students who want to bring awareness and found an alterative for Orcas that are being held in captivity. It’s so true that we shouldn’t watch Orcas or any animal from a tank or a cage. We should put ourselves in their shoes and reflect our how they feel in that tank or cage. Like the video from Orcas Awareness Project suggests, we should watch the animals in their habitant where they are free and happy. After watching this movie, I don’t support SeaWorld whatsoever. I never been to SeaWorld but I plan to never go there so I can do my part in the Orcas Awareness Project because with projects like these, maybe the next generations can realize that we are all animals.
