While a lot of people disagree with keeping animals like this in captivity do they realise the scientific data that gets accummulated from capture? No i will agree its not its natural surroundings so not everything will be the same but some things go on day after day no matter if its in the ocean and free or in a pool swimming in circles. It is a tragic loss whether it be wild or captive theres no difference there but sometimes a few things suffering can provide a lot more with happiness. Just my opinion.
