Killer Whales in San Diego

Thank you for visiting again! Sign up for my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

About 10 days ago I went with my whole family to San Diego here in Southern California. My whole family being my son, his wife and 3 children and my daughter, her husband and their 3 children and one of my friends.

The photo to the right is of my two oldest grandchildren both 9 having fun at one of the local restaurants we went to where they made the kids balloon animals.

While we were there we spent a day at Sea World, which if you don’t know, is an amazing place not just for kids but for adults too. I found myself as immersed in all the shows as the children were plus it gave me food for thought.

Not all the animals were from the sea, there was also a show with dogs, cats and other animals that was quite amazing.

Then there were the killer whales. Well, if you’ve never seen them the way they are trained is truly incredible.

As I sat there watching I thought to myself, if they can train killer whales to do what they did then I never want to hear an excuse that I or anyone I know or work with can’t do what they want to do. To the left is just one of the photos I took of them.

The only thing I couldn’t make up my mind about was whether it was cruel to take any of these beautiful creatures and animals out of their natural environments and train them to perform!

What do you think about taking animals from their natural environments to train them to perform? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Warmly
Hazel
