      It's wrong. Many scientists have said such. Dorsal Fin Collapse happens in certain Orca populations in the wild at a rate of about 25%, and there are many factors as to why it is more prominent in animals in captivity.

    • @NamuTheOrca
      @NamuTheOrca 2 ปีที่แล้ว +56

      Except it isn't so sad. His story about the dorsal fin is wrong. It's true that a collapsed dorsal fin will never straighten out again. However it is absolute nonsense that it has anything to do with their happiness or mental well being. It is just a physics thing: male killer whales' dorsal fins are big, floppy and unstable things (they lack any bone or muscle structure). When a killer whale spends more time at the surface - like captive animals do - the fin is subject to more gravity, and it eventually collapses. It happens in wild killer whales too, for example when they are sick for a while and spend more time at the surface for a while.

      @aw04tn58 2 ปีที่แล้ว +91

      While he may be wrong about dorsal collapse, he's not wrong about the psychological torture. Blackfish tells the story well for a particular whale (RIP Tilikum) and having been to Marineland and seen the belugas grating their teeth on the walls out of boredom, it's a heartbreaking thing. If you can ever advocate for it, that place needs to be shut down.

Like "Finding Bigfoot" but with real animals. And a host who's smart and honest enough to say if something just doesn't have a chance of still being here. This particular one is the series premier for it. The Zanzibar Leopard. According to Forrest, they went there because of a conversation they had with a producer. "You know Forrest, the Dodo and Tasmanian Tiger are popular ideas for animals that're still out there. What's something you think is out there, but people don't seem to consider?" and Zanzibar Leopard was the first thing he said.

    I'm so glad you mentioned Free Willy. It really was a real orca - his name was Keiko, and he lived here at the Newport Aquarium in Oregon for years. I remember seeing him countless times as a kid. When they decided to let him be free, it was a huge deal. It's just a terrible shame that he didn't live too long afterwards.

      @shannonmcelroy8454 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      I remember being so disappointed when I read about that in a book at mu local library as a kid. Having looked more into it as an adult, it's actually harder to say whether it was a success or a failure given what is actually known about these animals now. Given that he died at the age of 27 years, that's actually not bad for a male orca given that they usually live up to their thirties. The biggest problem was that males are completely dependent on their mothers for their whole lives for protection and support, so because captivity severs that bond, males are exponentially worse off there. He may have done better if he was released to his original family, but it's unknown how they would've even found the exact pod. I have to say, he was at least better off than Tilikum, who was probably the worst possible case of a captive orca in all of history. At least he didn't become so understimulated and pushed around by other whales that he took it out on people, which may have been a factor for why he was approved for release in the first place.

    People arguing that his statement about captive orcas having collapsed dorsal fins due to emotional distress is not true are blowing my mind. ALL of the current research states that wild orcas who have collapsed dorsal fins have either been injured or they are UNHEALTHY. It is a sign of something being WRONG. A captive orca who is fed a non-natural diet and kept in a tiny tank is SUFFERING. To try and argue otherwise just to make the point of, "Well, it's seen in the wild TOO" is absolutely disgusting. It's seen in the wild when something is wrong, or injury has happened. An orca kept in captivity is experiencing EMOTIONAL DISTRESS. You cannot argue that. Stop trying to discredit this man's statement just to play semantics with his words.

      My understanding, and I"m no expert so grain of salt and all that, was that the fin flops down because captive orcas spend so much more time at the surface than in the wild wild. Being in the water gives the fin support. I'm curious what you label as a non-natural diet? Dead fish as opposed to live? Being a snake owner, I haven't heard of live vs prekilled being a health issue so long as the snake eats.

      @@desolatefox in the wild orcas get a very very diverse and large diet whereas in captivity they only really get fish and probably not nearly enough for their size and caloric needs and have been seen hunting small birds so they are actively seeking to hunt and get enrichment they are otherwise not offered. This is incomparable to a much much smaller and if we’re honest with ourselves much dumber snake so the enrichment it needs and caloric dietary needs are much easier to accommodate in an acceptable way. That’s why snakes are more acceptable captive animals than a very intelligent large animal when it comes to food and enrichment.

      The interesting thing is this is actually pretty common behavior for a lot of predatory animals. When there's an abundance of food, many will kill but only eat certain nutritional parts of the animal they killed and not bother with the rest. Another interesting fact is that you'll even find some animals, such as deer and cows, eating meat and things like bird hatchlings if they need certain nutrients they aren't finding in their environment.

      They like whale tongue too. In Eden Australia, they hunted in partnership with the Aboriginal people for tens of thousands of years, when whites arrived, they liked the idea of that & so continued it, the orcas demanded the tongue in return for rounding up the whales out at sea & herding them into the bay & assisting the humans with the killing in what was known as "the law of the tongue"
      So the orcas brought the whales in, tail slapped to call the humans out to do their bit, if the humans were too slow, they'd grab the whaling boat anchors & tow them out to the whales, the humans would harpoon them & then drag them back to shore (again frequently with the orca's help) & the humans would then tie the whale's body up in the shallow water overnight for the orcas to have first choice of the meat. The orcas would eat the tongue & leave the rest for the humans

      It depends on the establishment. If it’s a good place it’ll only take animals that can no longer survive in the wild due to poaching illness or injury. You can tell on which establishment are good or bad places if they let you touch the animals. If they let you touch them it’s not a good place those animals are drugged or abused or both. But unfortunately a lot of times in order to fund rescue efforts they have to have zoos to sell tickets to make money.

    I was fortunate enough to have had my family move to Maui when I was 8 and lived there until I was 25.
    Swimming with whales and dolphins is truly a magical experience I am very thankful to have had the privilege to do. While whales are heavily protected by law (as they come to the warm water with their calves) and it is forbidden to even approach them within 100 yards, if they approach you, you may swim with them as long as you try to maintain distance and _never_ attempt to touch them. Being on a boat and seeing them is one thing, but being in the water with them, hearing them sing and watching them play? It’s a nigh spiritual experience that humbles.
    Seeing Orcas, or any such animal in captivity, is absolutely infuriating. Disgraceful of us.

    "As weird as it sounds, it's a 'trained' spider." - As a tarantula keeper myself, I want to provide a little bit better of an explanation; if anything, the kid (or his stunt double) was trained! A tarantula or a spider doesn't really have the intelligence like mammals do to understand good or bad, but like he said, they can be used in movies as long as the person working with them knows how to read their BODY LANGUAGE! If a tarantula moves a certain way, you can tell whether it's ok with going where you want it to go (which honestly is most of the time), or if it's feeling particularly "nnnno! nope!" and won't go where you want it to go. So it's not the spider that was trained; it's the actor! Ta-daaa.

      Can you condition a tarantula to do simple tricks like 'push the button get a treat'?
      Are they just incapable of reading a handler's social cues, or is their behavior so set that they straight up can't learn by association the same way as a mammal?

    But Free Willy wasn’t meant to glorify captivity on orcas . . . the whole point of the movie was that the constraints of captivity were cruel for the orca which is why the movie was called Free Willy and why the orca ends up getting freed into the wild with his family.

    • @bradsorelle712

      Marine scientists have actually determined that the bent dorsal fin in orcas is due to a stronger pull of gravity against it since most orcas in human care tend to spend more time nearer to the surface of the water. Although it is related to their lives in human care, it is NOT due to depression or anxiety. Scientists have not determined that it negatively impacts their health or ability to swim either. This notion is a dated and anthropomorphized idea. It does occasionally happen in wild orcas as well.
