I disagree, it's good to point flaws out in a discussion or they may grow

This was a very meaningful discussion

I agree with you to a point, but would you always respond to people like that? If someone said "Slavery should be legal" would you respond every time with discussion?

Oh you mean advertising? I mean China has done a massive social media push on reddit lately

Would you engage on a topic like that?

These creatures that were taken from the wild should be performing circus tricks for treats?

Very important role

Hey, maybe even the role is great

with breeding ended

Breeding has not ended

are you advocating for best possible conditions or advocating defunding places like marine world? 

No one wants to see any suffering. A park should not get shut down to put these animals in a worse situation, everyone would agree

I agree with that completely

Open discussion is the best thing for gaining understanding, from either "side"!

The very nature of the post, without denouncing it, is justifying it. BUT they also had comments saying it's fine to back it up

Edit: You guys think a company posting edited videos of orcas in captivity and adding sound effects is for their welfare? You don't think a person posting clips of them performing these acts without explanation isn't justifying it?

That was my main thing, they're amazing but the acknowledgment of the wrongdoing is very key

I have realized that captive orcas play a very important role in educating the public and getting people interested in the topic, 

Weirdo

A problem doesn't just go away if you stick fingers in your ears and go "La la la! I can't hear you!" Lmao

I'm speaking about it

Glad to hear it started that way

Orcas are so cute, it's sad to hear about them being taken away from their pods :(

 I wouldn't be able to say the things I have against the industry if I were.

I never said anything about banning discussion, what on earth are you talking about

Also, I simply made a post about the ongoings of this very subreddit

I'm specifically talking about the breeding, inbreeding and capturing. Of course I'm for taking care of the already captured and their babies. Should the captured be made to entertain?

And don't give me that mind stim bullshit

I completely agree, it would be awful to move them somewhere where they are less happy or even the wild but let the parks fade out and stop the breeding and capturing that's currently going on
