    Everyone is big mad about the whales. Meanwhile, there’s a whole lot of other animals that aren’t famous being fucked with, and humans, and a pretty compelling case that the costs of caring for damn belugas is actually pretty burdensome.

    It’s not bad people care about show whales. It’s bad that it’s vastly disproportionate.

      It is proportionate — to their size

      (In all seriousness, it’s a lot easier to make suitable living quarters for most other animals. If you can’t make suitable living quarters, it’s unethical, full stop. Yes I’m including factory farm meat in that)

        I don’t actually disagree with that, which is why “don’t euthanise them but also don’t do anything with them” isn’t being accepted by the company as an answer. I only know MarineLand from the ads, but any habitat multiple whales can at least sort of live in will be no joke.
