Having chosen my Break article's topic to be about recent controversy concerning Seaworld, alot of things have come to my mind. Memories of visiting Seaworld, the show, the act, the sort of connection between man and wild. It felt so safe, humans always so fearless, we think we have mastered the world. Little did I know of the damage behind the act, the story of these animals. It made me reflect also on one thing we saw in class this week, the dangers of a single story. It nice to think that watching the whales do all these amazing things is safe, harmless, sustainable and even at sometimes better for the animal. But the sad truth is that those animals live in a jail-like environment, all for cheap tourism. Are we so caught up in ourselves that we forget to look at the other side of things? At least thats how I feel.
