Devil’s advocate, in the grand scale of humanity, the domestication of the orca was done pretty well. Again on the scales of domesticating wild animals. Was it ideal? Of course not, domestication is a particularly ugly process, but all things considered I thought it was done well. That progress is now lost.

I give it about a 100 years, before Japanese “Research” vessels “research” them out of existence. Forgive me for being cynical, but that is the way it is, blackfish wasn’t jarring at all. You want to feel bad for animals? Go to your local animal shelter, where the penalty for not being loved enough by people is death. Are visit a feed lot for cattle, and tell me that’s ethical. And fuck me, I am definitely not some PETA fuckwad either, but I definitely think we can do a lot better with the treatment of animals. By comparison the orcas had it made, spare me.
