I find your post quite insulting and harmful. I KNOW people who work at these organisations and they never lie to me as they are experts.
At least those whales are being looked after properly and aren't being poached or hunted by some idiots. I'd rather see animals in captivity than being poached or hunted.
PETA are scumbags and they always have been. They're just a bunch of vegan tree-huggers who think that even touching an animal is wrong.

I think their care workers honestly do believe they are being kind and I'm sure they do love the animals they care for but the truth is, its not kind to incarcerate animals that normally swim up to a hundred miles a day into small four walled tanks.
Dolphins are another example. A wild dolphin can live up to 90 years but captive dolphins have a life expectancy of around ten.
Both whales and dolphins rely on sonar for navigation but because their sonar signals bounce and echo off enclosed walls, it confuses these animals up to the point of some becoming insane.
Another thing is, they live and breath in chlorinated water which can affect their eyes, their breathing holes and their skin. All captive sea life that swim around in chlorinated water have a continual problem from skin ulcers.
