Are Seaworld Whales Illegal Slaves?

Things that make you go hmmmm....
Court to decide if SeaWorld whales are illegal 'slaves'

February 8, 2012

Killer whale "Tilikum" appears during the show "Believe" at Sea World in Orlando, Florida, in 2011. A California federal court is to decide for the first time in US history whether amusement park animals are protected by the same constitutional rights as humans.

When you have the option of living in a Vast world that is equal to your size, what can be gained from restricting any living creature this size in a can?

Well if we follow PETA's logic then the neighbors dairy operation is wholesale slavery. Those folks force the cows into sexual slavery with no option of choosing who they mate with, then sell their offspring and make a personal profit off of their hard earned milk. Then they feed those poor girls only grass and make em wear ugly plastic earrings with a number on them.

Were people always this nuts or does it seem like it's getting worse?

lol....it's getting worse!

I may seem like a fool, and I am not PETA, but I am a firm believer that any animal unless in an injured capture/release program should not be caged. I see Polar Bears treated this way and it is just wrong.
Want to see animals/Whales?
Holiday in their natural environment.

yep yep ..love animals...raised on a ranch in Nebraska..we were taught all animals had a job or purpose
at least on the place...

The key words being "had a job or purpose" I am sorry Ant feels this way about cows, but then the same could be said about chickens, dogs and cats.

I haven't ate beef for over 15 years..only eat buffalo when I do eat meat.. being from the farm I seen more that enough of the cattle business!...they are very dumb animals and have only one purpose in the word..

Yep they will die of thirst in a field of snow!

I suspect that cows have some intelligence..... just because they're so lazy. Anything that can get out of doing any movement that's not strictly necessary has to have some kind of clever ploy in mind. Or maybe they're just too dumb to move.

I may join PETA. I've been thinking about it for a long time. The violent stuff turns me off tho'

Sheesh, I'm just kidding about the cows. Everybody should have a purpose and a job to do. If you don't contribute in some way to the world then you're mostly just a useless eater.

I like cows and I think they are a lot smarter than they get credit for. There was a conversation once about whether cows (or dogs, cats, etc.) have emotions. We had a cow who calved during a severe ice storm and it unfortunately died. She looked and looked and bawled for that calf for a really long time. The vet said they forget after about 3 days but the cow sure didn't forget her calf. It was sad.

i knew you where kidding ant..f*cking cows see what they do! group hug! lol

Cows are wonderful creatures. Beautiful is every way.

group hug. lol.

...cow kick. (If you know what that means then you passed the genuine test)

Been kicked by many a cow and swished in the face by their tails when milking them, before school....Not nice LOL
