Sabastian Inlet is where tropical waters begin so it’s the next milestone we were looking forward to. When we left Cape Canaveral, we figured it would be a few days before we made it to those clear warm tropical waters. With anticipation hanging thick around the boat, we pushed on.
As we cruised south, the water began to clear. More and more dolphins were swimming with us as every mile passed. We felt like we were getting mobbed there were so many of them. At one point we had a dozen or more swimming with us; a group on each side in the wake and a few on the bow. “Does it count as distracted driving if you’re watching dolphins” I mused at Bill. They seem like they were having loads of fun. Jumping out of the water, doing some barrel rolls,
Blackfish: The Documentary Entertainment is a word that invokes feelings of fun and pleasure. It is an exciting time with family and friends filled with joy and laughter, especially at amusement parks. However, what about the whales entrapped at water parks? How do they feel about this? Are they content with their environment?
O’Connor himself wasn’t partially physically intimidating. This fact became abundantly clear once he stepped off his chair and approached me. While not necessarily short in stature, his seat gave him an extra few inches compared to his natural stance.
Although it is remarkable that these marine mammals are capable of so much, there are things the public does not know. According to classified statistics, twenty-three out of forty-three animals died while being transported from their natural habitat to foreign aquariums for training. Another thing the public does not know is in reference to a similar marine mammal program in the Soviet Union. It has been reported that Soviet dolphins were trained to do "kamikaze" missions. Explosives were supposedly strapped to their backs and they were sent out to destroy enemy submarines. According to statistics, about two thousand dolphins have died on these, and similar, missions.
Within the essay written by Bill Daly called “Marine Parks” the writer is trying to provide information to his readers about marine parks. Daly takes the stands and conclusion on that the parks should be closed or at the very least they shouldn’t capture anymore animals. In the essay he discusses that the information that they take from the dolphins isn’t credible information. Due to the fact they are only studying captive animals not the one in the wild. He goes on to tell about how they have different diets and in captivity and that they have lower life spans.
Astounding aquatic performances, petrifying roller coasters, interactive petting zoos, and riveting informational tours; there is never a dull moment to be had at SeaWorld, world-renowned aquatic theme park. Best of all, the crowning moment of the day, a spectacular performance by the park’s most famous entertainers — killer whales. Each weighing in at thousands of pounds, these gentle giants preform all sorts of tricks for the eager audience, from waving to the audience to jumping from the water to soaking the eager onlookers with a massive splash. However, these massive beasts may not be as harmless as the park portrays. One such evidence is a documentary titled Blackfish. Throughout his documentary, Gabriela Cowperthwaite effectively turns his large audience against the park by revealing many hidden dark truths.
1. As I stated earlier dolphins are highly intelligent animals and it is obvious they are well loved by humans.
As I drive across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge my excitement builds. Instantly any troubles disappear just by knowing that I’m on the right side of the bay headed towards my sanctuary where everything is different from my normal day’s routine. Crossing that bridge is like a gateway leading me to a tranquil land of perpetual Joy. The choppy bay waters bob up and down as if they’re the welcoming party waving hello. Marshy vegetation occupies the bay waters on both sides of the single road that leads into this paradise. Cresting the hill rewards you with an amazing view like no other. From this height you can glimpse the dunes which protect the island from the occasional staggering winds. Assateague is a barrier island and a true sanctuary, set aside
The day has come. The day I've feared but tried so hard not to. Two men grab me by the arms and lead outside to the blinding sunlight, reluctantly. My tattered shoes scrape along the rocky sand of the camp, everyones watching me now. They all know what's happening and feel sorry for me, except for a smug figure in the distance, obviously Sergeant Hanley. My eyes dart helplessly around the camp, I see the firing squad and a lump swells in my throat. Then I see Tommo, and remember my promise to him.
Waking up to see the ocean is amazing, but it doesn 't really help when you were in the fetal position, sleeping, on a bus. The ocean really did help with how uncomfortable it was to sleep on a bus and the fact that we were at our beautiful destination, St. Malo. The reason I was there was that I was on a European trip. St. Malo is a breathtaking fortress city that is surrounded by the English Channel. There was a large, brick wall going around the city. The buildings inside the wall were beautiful and you could feel the history from them. One of the bad things about staying inside a fortress was, we had to get off the bus and walk to our hotel. This was a short, but rocky trip because the roads were made of bricks and this made our suitcases
Each year,millions of people across the world travel to marine parks, for the chance to see one of the most intelligent, fascinating beings of this Earth, the marine mammal. However, this aquarium is actually a torturous jail cell for the marine mammals that inhabit it. Research has shown that these animals were never fit for captivity. In fact, according to the popular documentary “Blackfish”, more than seventy trainers have been injured by the captive marine mammal, though not a single aggressive tendency toward humans has ever been documented to have occurred in the ocean. It is a likely assumption, that the conditions of marine parks are a cause for aggressive and depressive behaviors in these animals. These intelligent, highly evolved,
The glimmering rays of the sun rising started to reveal a silver snake. The last formidable natural obstacle holding the allied forces from progressing to the eastern shore of the Rhine River. It was 09:20 the morning of 24 March 1945, the allies held dominate control of all the lands west of the Rhine. It was time to start, the end of the war; it was time to take the Rhine. 16,870 Paratroopers soaring through the light blue morning sky, looking out the fuselage doors with anticipation. As they neared the Rhine they could smell and see a smoldering haze hovering over the eastern shore from the preparatory attacks the night before. General Churchill watched from atop a hill near the village of Xanten, Germany as the Allies threw a hail marry
The fifteen year old me choose my fate. I made one of the biggest decisions of my life in 2013. I decided to move 1,997.3 miles across the country to live with a man I barely knew. It sounds scary and dangerous but I was ready for it, I was ready to make my own decisions and choose what I wanted to do. One night I sat in my bed and I just analyzed my life and where I was going. I dropped all my friends, started hanging around the wrong people doing the wrong things and became distant as a person. I just wasn 't happy, I fell into a depression and life wasn 't the same anymore and I was just a freshman in high school. That is not how I wanted to live. The next morning I told my mom I wanted to move with my father in Louisiana.
According to Peter Singer, a philosopher, “Dolphins are social mammals, capable of enjoying their lives. They form close bonds with other members of their group. ” We often see them as a form of entertainment, with their adorable squeaks and fun tricks at ocean parks. Yet, we do not realize their intelligence and capabilities. Many do not know about their numerous rescues on humans, animals, and fellow dolphins.
As soon as brother had finished eating, we ran off to our secret hideout, Horsehead Landing. Brother kept mumbling under his breath, “Time is running out. School is starting soon. How am I going to get Doodle to be like the other six-year olds?” The sun was beginning to set east with brilliant shades of dark purple, blue, light orange and pink. The dark evergreen green trees cast ominous shadows along the desolate forest. When we reached the shoreline of the landing, brother told me to enter the boat and start to row down the creek with the tide. My limbs burned as I moved them up and around in constant motion, but my mind was telling me to punch through the pain. After I had drifted a long way into the creek, brother put the oars in place
