No. It is bad photoshop work.
Absolutely. You can. I just think the picture along with it was not very tasteful.
EDIT: in other words, it adds nothing to the conversation.

I am sorry if I offended you I was just joking around would you like me to remove it?

It doesnt offed me at all. It is the hardest thing in the world to offend me. I just thought it was in poor taste and isnt really anything to laugh at. You can remove, but they have been quoted.
No biggie.

Has anyone ever seen "The Cove"? I doubt Sea World or Disney or any American park behaves this way but because sea parks exist so do people like in The Cove. For this reason I have to boycot sea parks. Disney does seem to do a good job with providing lots of space for the dolphins and I do approve using the tanks to take in animals that would otherwise die so I think Disney is OK but for training for our show I disagree. I don't consider Disney a sea park as the animals are allowed to just swim in large spaces.
Whales and dolphins are very sonar dependent and can travel over 100 miles a day. They are also VERY family oriented - they spend their lives with their families and pods. Keeping them in a concrete tank, which is a sonic deadzone would be like putting earplugs and super dark sunglasses on a human and putting them in a 10 X 10 room for the rest of their lives. Sure you could be allowed to run around a 20 X 20 room once a day and be well fed and medically cared for but your life would suck.

completely agree. I also will not go into a sea park for the same reason. There is even research that shows how the sonic reverberations off the tank can eventually drive the whales insane.

That is why I want to b*tch slap the guy at the zoo who takes his wedding or class ring and "tink tink tink" on the glass to the gorilla enclosure to get his attention.

Third one is a photoshop.
Second one is real, but not an attack.
First one is a scene from Orca: The Killer Whale which was a terrible movie with a beautiful Ennio Morricone soundtrack it didn't deserve.

This has to be one of the most ignorant things I have ever read. Are you forgetting the FACT that humans are animals???? Yes that's right YOU are an animal. What gives you the right to freedom and another animal not. If your answer is higher intelligence then most of us would be captive.

Actually what I meant to say is that animals don't have any rights at all, at least not if you go by the U.S. Constitution.
If you want to give animals the right to vote I guess I'd be OK with that, but they better start paying income tax like the rest of us.

Thank you for saying that. I still have no idea what walking on the moon has to do with whether or not animals have rights or not.:shrug:

Oh, yes, the Constitution...preserving the rights and freedoms of all since 1789 cough Indians cough cough blacks cough cough cough women cough...just clearing my throat there, but yes, our proud body of governance declaring who or what may or may not have freedoms and exactly what those freedoms will be. So because we are more powerful and intelligent we can just kill for profit and fun because we made the rules.
I wonder how our alien overlords feel about that?

Well if we want to be accurate the Constitution would not have happened at all if these people were given rights at that time. I think it is wrong to deny any U.S. citizen freedoms but facts are facts.

Heading for the great escape.
Sting wrote walking on the moon and he doesnt eat animals. Hes also crap but thats another point.

it was named that because it kills marine mammals for food, not because it is known for killing indiscriminatly. People have learned so much from these animals that have been in theme parks, and now these people care for the wellbeing of the species. If we release these animals how will people in future generations learn of the importance of them?

Yes it is a fact that the constitution would not have been ratified if the issue of slavery was adressed at the time. None of the slave states would have signed it so the issue was put off till later which resulted in something called the Civil War. If you don't believe me google it or since this is a WDW related site go to Epcot and watch The AMerican Adventure.
