      What a barbaric time

      On January 8, 2017, Tilikum died at the age of 35, after 33 years in captivity.

      No one can escape the sin of killing this whale.

      Everyone is consciously or unknowingly tied to this chain of interests, with nowhere to run.

      We say that all things have spirit and beauty, and all things have spirit and beauty, we say that all things are ugly and fiasco, and all...

      it belongs to the ocean

      Tilikum is dead, and every morning I habitually open up about those things in the UK and see this article as the headline.
      When I saw America, Florida, and seaworld in Orlando, I woke up. The performance that left a deep impression on me, the huge and beautiful black and white killer whale, and the memories full of laughter, it turned out to be it. It's Tilikum, I've seen its performance, and at the moment it's not showing off at all, it's a deep shame. It turned out that I, an animal...

      Propaganda, Shaming, Adervertising

      Most people will see the positive propaganda significance of this documentary, but this small documentary is highly sought after in the top ten abroad, but the impact it brings is not only positive.
      In fact, this documentary can be described from three aspects: First, propaganda actually has a certain propaganda element to call for it to be counterproductive. Anyone who has studied may understand that the word propaganda does not refer to positive publicity, with a derogatory advertising...

      It is really similar to Dolphin Bay, but the angle is different. Over the years, many children have been fascinated by the magical place of the aquarium, but we don't know what the real living conditions of the animals in the aquarium are like every time we go to the aquarium. If no one comes forward and tells the truth, we will one day be killed by our own ignorance and lack of heart. Decided not to go to the aquarium in the future, and called on others to go...

      Capitalists capture killer whales to perform for profit. You buy a ticket to watch the killer whale performance, you are deeply shocked and vowed to become a beast trainer. For this reason, you work hard to learn relevant knowledge and exercise, and finally you can perform for more people. When you or your colleagues are eaten by captive killer whales, you suddenly realize that everything is a lie and reflect on spiritual civilization. Who knows that your performance has attracted the next...

    • Howard Garrett - Orca Researcher: There is no record of an orca doing any harm to a human in the wild.

    • Christopher Porter - Former Trainer, Sealand: When you know the animal and have a relationship with it. You know, that he's not killing, because he's a savage. He's not killing, because he's crazy or because he doesn't know what he's doing. He's killing, because he's frustrated and has aggrevation. And when he's... He has no outlet for it.
