 As a representative of Animal Rights, It is my duty to make sure that Sea World is treating their animals with kindness and respect. As a big time amusement park, a lot of people rely on Sea World as a source of entertainment by watching all sorts of exotic, elegant sea animals do a series of  amusing, circus-like tricks. Although Sea World looks like a harmless, all in good fun  type of business from the outside, the lack of treatment to the animals behind the scenes is unacceptable. Although many animals have been mistreated at Sea World, the treatment of Killer Whales over the past 30 years at Sea World is heart wrenching. In the wild, these intelligent beings roam the waters free with their dorsal fins straight, and their families by their side at all times. However, when they are stripped away from everything that they have become accustomed to in the endless waters of the ocean and dropped into a 20 by 30 foot jail cell, these whales have no choice but to go insane, senile, and overly aggressive.  Since these whales grow to be on an average of 20-25 feet long, the cells that they are put in are completely unacceptable for them to thrive in. Also, since there is obvious tension between the different Whales, when they get angered at each other, there is not much room for them to swim away. In turn, the whales get brutally beaten by one another. With all of the anger and pressure that these whales have to deal with everyday, there is no wonder why trainers are being brutally murdered by these fed up animals. Sea World knows that what they are doing is unethical, however they continue to treat the whales like they are prisoners. I believe that Sea World needs to be shut down immediately before another trainer, or Whale, gets fatally injured.
