People who want to see these creatures captive simply do not understand or have never been educated or they were never inspired to learn about other living things.

The reason many countries are adopting these policies that give marine mammals rights is because of the spread of information, major documentaries and the internet in general reaching people and showing people that many of these mammals have actual sapience and that watching captive creatures is similar to watching people in prison.

So the internet has done some good at least. For everything else it just has curdled society into distinct pockets of shitmouthed freaks.
