[quote=Anonymous]I think the performance and corporate profit aspect of Sea World is disturbing, and, as PP pointed out, the life spans of the animals is drastically less than in the wild, which isn't necessarily true for zoo animals (the opposite is often true in those cases). The concrete tanks that Sea World uses doesn't even begin to approximate the wild habitat of the orca. They aren't even around so much as a plant. As for zoos, I do have a problem with larger higher order mammals in captivity, like elephants and apes. I also find it unethical for animals whose instinct is to roam large areas like large cats who will never get to run at full speed in a zoo. I find animals in captivity an incredibly depressing thing and i have hated the times I've gone with my kids. I get that it's something to do with kids, but I wish it weren't because I get a sad feeling whenever I'm there. And, we have a pretty good zoo compared to most around the country/world. [/quote]
