Canada: 14 whales have died at aquarium since 2019, exposé reveals - Lemmy.world

OMG! This is horrible. Just kore proof these poor animals dont deserve to be locked up their whole lives ☹️
The funny thing is that many humans more or less willingly live life's like that.
Reconsidering my choice to live inside a walled glass enclosure, only able to eat fish which are thrown in to me, constantly being watched by gawping spectators.
Damn I sound really stupid now. Deservedly so though, that's Im14andthisisdeep territory and deserves all the mocking.
A similar life would be a human living in a 6x6 solitary confinement cell, which nobody chooses voluntarily.
I would tend to agree, and in the case of places that are strictly amusements parks, I totally agree. However, there are very good organizations out there, that are helping animals that can’t live in the wild, because of injury, being some assholes “pet” until it became too much to deal with, or saving species from asshole humans killing them to near extinction levels. Unfortunately, that means those animals have to live in captivity. It’s not just a simple ban all captive animals thing.
Wild animals that cannot survive should be euthanized, not rehabilitated into prison.
That’s your opinion. Not everyone agrees with you.
