Doubled my views on this blog in a week so that's good. I think.
So I watched "Black Fish" the other day. Wow. Just Wow. I literally didn't want it to end. I watched it back to back because I was literally so amazed by it. It not only was insanely well directed and prodcuced , but they managed to get people on the documentary who actually knew what they were talking about, old trainers, specialists, owners, neuroscience experts, the poachers ! This in whole is a very well put together documentary. Enjoyed it immensely despite the negative subject and imagery used.
This still truely astounds me that SeaWorld keep these amazing animals in enclosures that are just way too small in entertainment that is really glorified bear baiting. Its sickening. These animals are scientifically proven to be more emotionally intelligent than us. There emotional part of the brain is twice as large as us. And we are ripping them away from their babies and making them dance and wag their tales for us.
Think it is amazing that in the wild there has never been an attack on humans by a killerwhale, chuck them in a pool and make them perform for food .... there you go ! You are pushing these animals to the brink of insanity.
I think wild animals should be wild.
It just disgusting that in 2014 this kind of practice of capturing animals and making them perform for money is still happening.
However there was a very touching part of the documentary at the end when the old trainers went into the wild to watch wild killer whales. They blubbed and of course I blubbed.
I don't want to give too much away about it because I want everyone to go out there and watch it !!!
Its on IPlayer so just go and watch it !!
I don't know anyone who wouldn't enjoy it. Despite it being a difficult watch. It makes you feel all warm and gooey inside.
Cheers, Gracie
