Orca Cries Out For Help …. Request Answered … “!!

~~July 23, 2016~~ 

REQUEST IS ANSWERED

By Clayton Browne

With all the bad things that are happening on this Earth, it’s always good to see up-lifting, humanistic, basically kind and nice events.

This is one of them.

A nature event much needed to “erase” memories of these recent weeks ….

…. at least, momentarily.

A group of hard-working rescuers in Canada have saved a stranded killer whale they heard crying for help in the distance.

The fortunate Orca apparently became stuck on some rocks just off the coast of British Columbia in Canada early morning, July 23.

One man spotted the distressed whale, and he called a group, The Guardians from Hartley Bay, who traveled to the site to try and help.

The rescuers brought in a water pump to help keep the whale wet and also covered the mammal with damp sheets.

“It was a team effort, and fortunately on some level this transient orca understood that we were trying to help,” the post noted.

“She cried often, which tore at our hearts.”

It took six hours, but the whale was finally freed when the tide rose enough, and the group shared an image of it back safely in the water.

We ALL are connected through NATURE!!

On July 23, 2015, a female Orca became trapped on the coastline.

Rescuers worked for almost eight hours to keep her wet until the tide came back in.

NO MORE SHAMU, NO MORE BREEDING

I hope that they keep their word.

I hope there’s nothing sinister behind this decision. I hope that this is for real.

SeaWorld has made headlines several times in the past decade: trainer Dawn Brancheau was killed by a captive orca during a live show in 2010, and a 2013 documentary focused intense scrutiny on the family-oriented theme park over the use of killer whales as show animals.

On Thursday, March 17,SeaWorld announced that it would no longer breed or keep orcas.

The popular theme park SeaWorld has been under ever-growing criticism for the way it breeds and shows its popular orca whales.

Now SeaWorld is bowing to pressure and making a big change.

A dear blogger friend taught me this concept.

~IN HER OWN WORDS~

“IOTD” is image of the day, a concept I came up with. I teach visual meditative therapy – or in easy terms – a mini mental holiday. For some people it is very difficult for them to get their image right. I post an image a day for people to use in their mini mental vacay. Some are serious, some are silly, and some are just beautiful!”

Sea World of Hurt …. “Where Happiness Tanks”!!

~~June 23, 2015~~

SeaWorld enslaves animals in small tanks at marine parks around the country, where they are forced to perform unnecessary tricks for “entertainment.” It’s a business built on the suffering of intelligent, social animals who are denied everything that is natural and important to them. As a result, animals imprisoned by SeaWorld often die prematurely from stress and other captivity-related causes.

SeaWorld, which owns all but one of the orcas held captive in the U.S., has a long history of mistreating animals. In the wild, orcas are intelligent predators who work cooperatively in search of food. They share intricate relationships in a matrilineal society.

In some populations, orcas rarely leave their mother’s pod, but at SeaWorld, they are often separated. These attributes, along with wild orca pods’ unique dialects, are considered a form of culture that is unrivaled by any species other than humans. Free orcas are among the fastest animals in the sea, and they swim as far as 100 miles every day. But at SeaWorld, they swim in endless circles in small barren concrete tanks.

To help all animals held captive by SeaWorld, please never buy a ticket, visit the parks, or support SeaWorld in any other way.

~~Facts About SeaWorld’s Killer Whales~~

SeaWorld®

~~Published on Apr 6, 2015~~

Here are the facts about our killer whales

We don’t collect killer whales from the wild and haven’t for 35 years.
We set the highest standard of care for marine mammals in the world.
Government research shows our killer whales live just as long as those in the wild.

~~If SeaWorld Commercials Told the Truth~~

~~Published on Jun 17, 2015~~

SeaWorld has been plastering the airways with lies, so we thought we’d set the record straight.

At SeaWorld, animals are kept in tiny tanks, where they are forced to perform meaningless tricks for human “entertainment.” It’s a business built on the suffering of intelligent, social animals who are denied everything that’s natural and important to them.

As a result, animals imprisoned by SeaWorld often die prematurely from illnesses related to stress and the adverse living conditions in captivity.

The truth is, SeaWorld doesn’t care about the animals in its tanks. The only thing that SeaWorld cares about is profits.

Marisa Miller Protests SeaWorld …. “SeaWorld of Hurt”!!

~~May 6, 2015~~ 

From a Pregnant Mother’s Perspective

Today, it’s relatively common knowledge that orcas are highly social and sensitive beings and that marine-mammal mothers share a bond with their babies, just as human mothers do with their children.

That’s why model Marisa Miller, who’s now expecting her second child, chose to expose her bare pregnant belly and raise her voice in defense of mother and baby orcas who are being held captive at SeaWorld.

Orcas at SeaWorld are trapped inside cramped tanks. They are often inbred, and calves are torn away from their mothers. Marisa talks to PETA about watching Blackfish as a mother.

Marisa Miller is stripping down with an important message in mind. 

The 36-year-old supermodel, who is currently pregnant with her second child, teamed up with PETA for a nude photo shoot and provocative ad, aimed at raising awareness over the alleged animal abuses at SeaWorld.

The eye-catching ad features the expectant beauty posing completely nude in a bathtub (per the press release, she is putting herself “in the place of captive orcas at SeaWorld”) alongside text which reads, “SeaWorld: Separating Babies and Mothers Since 1970” as well as a message asking fans to “Boycott SeaWorld.” 

In the accompanying interview, Miller says she was inspired to pose for the campaign after seeing Blackfish, a popular 2013 documentary which focuses on the controversy over captive killer whales (Seaworld has disputed the accuracy of the film).

“Being a mom and seeing Blackfish, it was extremely emotional,” Miller says. “I think any mother knows the sense of protection and connection you have with your baby.”

Orcas are intelligent animals who swim up to 100 miles a day in the wild, but at SeaWorld, they’re confined to tanks that allow them to swim only 0.0001 percent of this distance.

SeaWorld is a horrible place for orcas, who endure stress, boredom, and depression in captivity. In the wild, orcas live in large social groups, often spending their entire lives with their families.

Remember: Every purchase of a SeaWorld ticket contributes directly to the suffering of these highly emotional animals.

Much like that between human moms and children, the connection between orca mothers and babies is one of the strongest in the world. Check out pregnant mom Marisa Miller’s important statement in behalf of orcas and their families suffering at SeaWorld.

Ringling Bros. Circus eliminating elephant acts amid public concerns

POLK CITY, Fla. – The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus will phase out the show’s iconic elephants from its performances by 2018, telling The Associated Press exclusively that growing public concern about how the animals are treated led to the decision.

Municipalities have passed ordinances banning the use of exotic show animals or tools such as bullhook

Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus didn’t really get a conscience.

Instead, they started to get worried about getting poor.

This morning the largest circus company in the U.S. told AP reporter Tamara Lush that it would phase out all elephants of its shows by 2018.

But it wasn’t necessarily because of public outcry over the use of bullhooks, an handling tool that animal-rights groups say is a form of torture; or the generally questionable decision to force exotic animals to perform.
