Blackfish - Trailer

Beyond the lies, beneath the deception, the truth will surface.

Magnolia Pictures has debuted the trailer for the chilling Sundance documentary Blackfish, directed Gabriela Cowperthwaite, about orcas in captivity. 

Holy shit. 

OKAY, WE NEED TO REBLOG THE FUCK OUT OF THIS. EVEN IF YOU’RE NOT AN ANIMAL PERSON, YOUR FOLLOWERS NEED TO SEE THIS. ESPECIALLY DURING THE HEIGHT OF VACATION SEASON. DO NOT SUPPORT SEA PARKS WITH CAPTIVE WHALES. IT’S NOT ENVIRONMENTAL PROPAGANDA (I can’t believe I even used those words) IT’S A REAL ISSUE AND IT’S NOT A MATTER OF PROOF, IT’S A MATTER OF COVERING IT UP AND IGNORING IT!

Wow. I went through a bunch of the sites dedicated to this issue, and that of captive dolphins. I’ve been a vegetarian for a year, and against pet stores and breeders, so I have no idea how I never connected this in my mind. Last year I was going to Seaworld because I wanted to swim with dolphins. Not a chance of that now.

Captive whales and dolphins support their mass slaughter in places like Taiji, Japan, so please DO NOT SUPPORT THESE PARKS. This includes DISNEY PARKS, which currently have 4 captive male dolphins in Epcot. There are many places you can go to learn about whales and dolphins, and even interact with them, that are completely free of captive animals.
