Orca Captivity at Seaworld

When you go see the Shamu show at Seaworld, remember a few things happened that changed the Shamu show. It took years and years for Seaworld to change, but the problems they faced were so bad they gave eventually changed. You might be asking yourself, where did Seaworld get the idea to have orcas in captivity. Well, it all started with a place called Sealand. They were the start of orcas in captivity at Seaworld.

The change in attitude began when at one of the shows, an orca named Tilikum grabbed a trainer by the foot and took her to the bottom of the pool. The orca did bring her up to the surface, but brought her back down to the bottom. When the orca brought her up, the trainer screamed for help but there was nothing they could do for her. When Sealand closed, the orcas, including Tilikum, were moved to Seaworld. This orca showed many signs of aggression towards humans. This orca had also killed someone who snuck into his tank after hours, but the it was loss of one trainer got Seaworld to change. A trainer named Dawn Brancheau was killed during an “Eat with Shamu” show. She was killed in front of a horrified audience. Tilikum had grabbed her by her and pulled her into the water. What seemed to be frustration by the orca became aggression. SeaWorld said Tilikum grabbed her by her ponytail. After her death, SeaWorld decided to not let trainers in close contact with the orcas. There was a boycott for SeaWorld to not even have orcas. Seaworld has made a only few changes with the orcas. Now, you’ll never look at Seaworld the same again

My First Post on My Grandpa’s Blog

This post will be about the pros and cons of Electronic Devices.

Electronic devices have advantages but disadvantages too.  To be honest, I don’t like electronics, but thats my opinion.  Not yours? Well, maybe?  Now lets read!

To start off with, new technology is accessible in our homes.  Computers, phones and tablets are visible everywhere I go.  According to the source, “Are Electronic Devices Good for us? Plugged In” suggests, the  heavy media users actually spent more time in physical activity than light media users.  For instance, I learned much faster when I started using my I-pad for my homework.  There are some apps that help students learn.  Teachers even let their students use the apps.  Nooks are meant to have a lot to books to read.  “Using interactive media can give kids good structure for learning as claimed in, “Are Electronic Devices Good for us? Plugged In.”  These devices will help my community by making them active and allowing them fun times along with giving them new information.

Furthermore, technology is taking over all the peoples time.  Young people use electronic devices more than an hour per day, and that’s including me.  According to “Are Electronic Devices Good for us? Tuned Out” 7 out of 10 kids have cell phones.  In short, phones, I-pads and computers don’t help kids a lot with learning.  Kids are playing with friends they already have.  Hence “Tuned Out” expresses that people say that electronics help kids make friends but the kids are only playing with friends they already have.  One time my mom thought I make a new friend but I didn’t.  My electronics keep me up at night because all that I saw before I go to sleep becomes stuck in my head and won’t let fall asleep.

In conclusion, those are most of the pros and cons of electronics ending with the main reason I don’t like them.
