The main focus of the documentary was on the whale Tilikum, who had a record of aggressive behavior.  ]]> 2017-05-17 13:51:47 UTC https://padlet.com/koerner_j8/3xophwnn1bya/wish/172331171 koerner_j8 https://padlet.com/koerner_j8/3xophwnn1bya/wish/172331565 The director, Gabriela Cowperthwaite, successfully captured the affects of captivity through such strategies as transitioning, juxtaposition, and pathos. ]]> 2017-05-17 13:52:42 UTC https://padlet.com/koerner_j8/3xophwnn1bya/wish/172331565 koerner_j8 https://padlet.com/koerner_j8/3xophwnn1bya/wish/172333400 Two-Thirds of their lives were stored in containers that were 20 ft long and 30 ft deep. ]]> 2017-05-17 13:58:16 UTC https://padlet.com/koerner_j8/3xophwnn1bya/wish/172333400 koerner_j8 https://padlet.com/koerner_j8/3xophwnn1bya/wish/172334113 Trainers deprived them of food as discipline for not performing tricks correctly. ]]> 2017-05-17 14:00:26 UTC https://padlet.com/koerner_j8/3xophwnn1bya/wish/172334113 koerner_j8 https://padlet.com/koerner_j8/3xophwnn1bya/wish/172334620 All captive adult male orcas have a collapsed dorsal fin due to improper diet, lack of space, or unhealthy whale.  ]]> 2017-05-17 14:01:58 UTC https://padlet.com/koerner_j8/3xophwnn1bya/wish/172334620 koerner_j8 https://padlet.com/koerner_j8/3xophwnn1bya/wish/172335463 The film achieved the purpose of examining how captivity can lead to aggressive behavior through juxtaposition and pathos. Juxtaposition was used when the documentary would shift from a positive Sea World commercial to a tragedy that happened involving the whales in captivity.  Pathos was used in the documentary in multiple scenes.  One example was when they showed a baby whale being taken away from her family in the wild.  This caused the audience to feel heart-broken because the whale would never see their family again.  Bias may have played a role by only showing the negative side of Sea World.  They failed to view the other side. ]]> 2017-05-17 14:04:46 UTC https://padlet.com/koerner_j8/3xophwnn1bya/wish/172335463 koerner_j8 https://padlet.com/koerner_j8/3xophwnn1bya/wish/172336432 After watching the film, we realized how similar whales are to humans through their emotional capacity and life spans.  The movie shed light onto the horrors of captivity and the trauma it causes for the whales.  Based on the documentary, we felt as is the captivity of animals should no longer continue.  The film gave us a new perspective on the negative affects that captivity has on an animal.  If places are holding animals for monetary purposes, they should be closed down. However, some zoos are used to save animals in danger. If that is the case, then they are helping the animals and can be kept open. ]]> 2017-05-17 14:07:56 UTC https://padlet.com/koerner_j8/3xophwnn1bya/wish/172336432
