Animals in captivity

Resorts World Sentosa's is importing whale sharks for its main attraction in its Marine Life Park.
Whale sharks at IR? Bad move, say activists

Why do they not consider getting captived sharks, dolphins instead? Why must they be removed from the wild? Are the tanks in its Marine Life Park as wide as the ocean? If they really 'need' to have dolphins, maybe get those already in captivity, since they are 'striving in captivity', breed more and leave the truly wild ones alone.

Even with the animals in the zoo, do they 'move' or are in action when you see them? The animals are mostly lying on the ground, sleeping, eating or non-existent. You don't see them in action, hunting for their food, as food is readily thrown to them at a particular time. You mean they have meals thrown to them in the wild? nicely cut up too? hahahaha...

You want to see some real animal in action, national geographic and animal planet have definite more interesting clips then to see the real life thing. And these footages are usually taken in the wild, mind you. Think abt it, animals in captivity are just there to let u see them in person. Maybe to reiterate the fact that there are really such animals in existence... in flesh... but unfortunately, not in spirit. :(

Hello there,

Interesting thoughts you have there… I chanced upon Resorts World at Sentosa’s website just now and saw that the resort had posted an interesting statement on its Marine Life Park attraction.

Their statement can be found here: http://www.rwsentosa.com/en_marinepress.html It does make an interesting read… :)

Lofty goals they have there but I’m quite attracted to visit this oceanarium to better appreciate our fellow marine animals that live alongside humans…

*sigh*
its because humans are always hard to satisfy. looking through the box, we called TV, at home is never good enough, the real thing always seems better....
