Blackfish

I just watched Blackfish, a documentary about orcas in captivity and I am feeling 
flabbergasted. I knew about Sea World and their unethical system, capturing orcas 
and slowly but surely driving them into depression and aggression, but watching 
documentaries like these always resurfaces these intense emotions. Like when I saw 
The Cove, I was pretty upset. 

The most upsetting for me has to be when the calf is taken away from their mother. 
The calf is helpless, the mother is helpless, the humans have complete control 
over this separation knowing full well how painful it is for calf and mother to be 
separated, it is so cruel I was near sobbing. After the mother realizes her calf 
is nowhere in sight, she cries and weeps endlessly. This is so heartbreaking I can 
not even fathom. What people do for revenue and money, it is disgusting.
