what else would you want me to do?
don’t put highly intelligent creatures into cages for our own entertainment. It doesn’t matter what human emotion we project onto them. they lead sad and stressful lives.
I’m actually suprised this is controversial, considering this is a vegan community
People are lazy and don’t like thinking. They judge based on first appearances. It can be more effective to use a picture of an animal that looks like it’s suffering. Most people aren’t familiar with whale microexpessions and think this whale looks happy.
I didn’t intend to be effective, I just wanted to share something that upset me with some fellow vegans.

I don’t think you have to be familiar with that at all. The dolphin lives in a tiny confined space and is deprived of everything interesting in their life, unable to pursue most of their behavior. Now if there is something going on outside the barriers of the aquarium, of course it excites/interests the dolphin. That doesn’t make it wholesome. It is just sad.
