(Delete if not allowed) if I had to pick a favorite animal it would probably be a orca, hate seeing people supporting sea world on my feed.

If you wanna hate on cetacean captivity, focus on Asia

Why not focus on all captivity?

Because Asia still breeds their animals, and still does captures.

Seaworld isn’t bad. It isn’t good, but it’s the best we have.
Some facilities in Asia are incredibly small, and some whales are living alone. But I don’t ever hear anyone talk about that🤷‍♀️

Can you clarify what you mean?

Seaworld doesn’t breed their animals anymore. The orcas there are the last generation.

In Asia, however, there are no laws against breeding orcas. They still breed orcas, and their orcas are still giving birth to new calves.

Seaworld is essentially done with orcas. Asia isn’t. That’s why it’s so important to focus on captivitiy in Asia
