Let wild animals be wild

An Orca, named Tilly, killed his trainer in the SeaWorld Amusement Park in Florida. Was this an accident? Or it was an attack due to the stress of living his whole life in a tank? The real question is if it is right to keep such large animals captive.


The article tells us the story of Tilly and the attacks in what he's been involved previously, just like other orcas had.
Richard Ellis, a marine conservationist, says that they're intelligent animals, that this was premeditated, but we cannot know what went in Tilly's mind during the attack, but we have his history. He has been in captivity since he was two years old, he probably was separated from his mother and family, which is very traumatic for a social mammals as whales are.
Another factor is probably the confined place in which they live, something that, compared to the ocean is like keeping a man living his entire life in a bathtub.
But we cannot blame the SeaWorld without looking at other places and what we all do to animals, like Zoos, or even worse, Circuses.
They're many countries were Circuses with wild animals are banned, because of the poor living conditions in where they keep their animals, and the abuses they suffer.
Many people defend these places, 'cause they say it "educates" people, this should not be taken seriously, 'cause the only thing they teach is that keeping animals captivated is good. This is non-ethical for us to teach our children.
There are no reasons to keep animals in these places, so until the governments do something, we shouldn't support them and educate people about how bad this is for animals’ rights and life.
