Here are some facts about whales that are kept in captivity
absolutly not!!!a whale is a fascinating creature that needs alot of space.they get really bored in the small pools. they also live in families called pods, when they are captured and taken to aquariums they are often separated from their families and forced to live with strange animals.if they too bored,they may become aggressive and attack. more often than not, the calves( baby whales) die at birth in captivity. sometimes the zoo kepers will hide the newborns from the mothers until they are sure they will survive. recently(today is 3/8/10) in 'Seaworld' in Orlando Florida a whale attacked a trainer;it drowned her. the cause of this tragedy more than likely happened because the whale was bored. this is a sign; and i hope that people will relize how dangerouse this is and how wrong it is. i don't think this was the whales fault or the trainer's fualt, but i do beleve this could have been prevented. this is my opinion,but i hope you agree!
Whales definitely should not be kept in captivity when there is more than one. Often times they get into fights. Where can they swim away to if they are in a tank. On the other hand whales alone or in a group usually suffer from physiological effects and their life span is shorter by about 10 years.
