#but it’s fine clearly seaworld is a bigger threat

[orcinus-veterinarius]

I just wanna like videos/pictures of Orcas and not have to snatch my like back because they're an ARA and/or support SWIMS act 😒

Tell me about it. It’s so hard to find pages that post footage of wild cetaceans that don’t fill the captions with essays on the supposed evils of captivity. Just a few days ago I was watching a video of the leucistic killer whale CA216C1 “Frosty” and two or three paragraphs into the caption the poster went into a tirade about how horrible SeaWorld San Diego is and how many orcas suffer in captivity worldwide and to make sure to support the SWIMS Act.

It’s so weird, because you don’t see that sort of thing with other species with anti-cap movements (elephants, great apes, big cats). A picture of a wild African elephant isn’t usually labeled “so wonderful to see them in the wild instead of captivity!” It’s a cetacean thing.
