Takes a great deal of mental gymnastics to try and convince yourself there's some "kind" way to take a sentient creature's life. The "kindest" thing to do would just be to leave them alone.

Surely your comment is a joke. Breeding whales in captivity = rescuing them? Really?

by jamesgagan 9y ago
Ok, first off, the whale deaths that sparked this recent controversy happened in 2016. Orcas and Belugas are both types of whale. Second, I lived in Vancouver for a number of years and visited the Vancouver Aquarium a bunch of times. While

Keeping whales and dolphins in a big fish tank for people to gawk it is anything but noble. People keep repeating this myth that the animals are "rescued". Some of them are bred in captivity. Do you really think it's noble to

Well, what it said was they died from a toxin from an unknown source. http://bc.ctvnews.ca/vancouver-belugas-died-by-toxin-from-un... One interpretation of that could be they were intentionally poisoned.

Actually, the belief that all the marine mammals at the Aquarium are/were "rescues with no wild instinct" is incorrect. From wikipedia: "The Aquarium also housed two beluga whales. Qila was born in captivity, whereas Aur

Non-profits can still make money and not even the Vancouver Aquarium itself claims that "All proceeds are directed back into rehabilitation and education programs". In 2015, only 15% of revenues went to Conservation, Research and

Despite the claims that these animals are all "rescued", those claims are hard to prove, and a number of these mammals are actually born in captivity. I do agree with the rest of your comment.

"1. It's well known who killed 2 of belugas -- somebody who publicly presents themselves as caring for whales -- but there is no discussion of it in the reporting." Well, who was it then? Or are you just spreading conspiracy

"They killed our orcas" - really? 2 Belugas just died in captivity at that aquarium -it wasn't environmentalists who killed them, it was the aquarium. I have been to that aquarium and it was just depressing. Watching the Orca

I think the lesson here is that you can't just have a bot scrape together a mishmash of book titles and descriptions without knowing anything about books. Bowie was a reader and if this list is to be of interest to other readers, it ne

Some of your titles and descriptions are mismatched. For example, the description of the Tony Robbins book is actually the description for Money by Martin Amis. Much more likely Bowie would be reading Amis than Tony Robbins! The CJ Box titl

by jamesgagan 10y ago
Pretty sure it is supposed to be Money by Martin Amis, not Tony Robbins. looks like a few of the titles/descriptions are mixed up on this list.
