I think it can be easily argued that thousands of children became interested in sea life because of the wonders of SeaWorld.
ReplyDeleteCaptivity is not the same thing as slavery when applied to animals and fish ~ I haven't decided on birds.
I believe in human supremacy, which should be careful, and does allow us to use other mammals (and birds) in various ways. This doesn't allow senseless cruelty to animals, which is spoken against in the Bible.
ReplyDeleteNot all the ways that we use animals are legitimate. I'm not sure how well dolphins are treated at Sea World. They are known to be highly intelligent, perhaps even having a language equivalent to ours.
Thanks.
