Orcas at SeaWorld

   I believe that orcas shouldn’t be kept in tanks at SeaWorld. In Newsela, a article called ‘SeaWorld Tanks or Sea Pens. Dispute Over Which is Best for Orcas Continues’ states, “SeaWorld said no to that. It will not build the larger tanks yet. SeaWorld is fighting to end the no-breeding rule.” Claiming that SeaWorld will not try to help the orcas and give them enough space for them to be comfortable. SeaWorld also claimed that it’s trying to end the no-breeding rule, this shows how they don’t want to give the orcas enough space and they still want to continue breeding orcas.
   Mark Simmons, a old SeaWorld trainer, states, “Sea pens are not a safe place for whales.” This shows that even trainers don’t believe that whales should be kept in a cramped pen.
    To conclude, whales shouldn’t be kept in captivity because pens don’t give whales enough space for them to be comfortable.
