I hate to be nit-picky, but Jack Hanna is not an animal rights activist. By definition, he can't support zoos and support animal rights simultaneously. I think "animal welfare activist" would be more appropriate in this instance.

I agree with Binkie, there is no reason for us to have any of these animals in captivity.

Edward, I don't even know where to begin with your stupid comment.

This is a sad story all around. It's sad for the trainer, and it's sad for the whale that is living in a prison.
