Why does the filmmaker mention the history of capturing Orca whales in the beginning of the film?
So you understand that there is a long history of using these whales in captivity
To show how humane and caring those who capture whales are
So that we can see that Seaworld is a much better home for the whales
To allow the view to understand the trauma of how the whales are capture and how it might affect them later in their lives
In the scene about the mother and baby orcas, the filmmaker included the orca mother’s sounds in her argument about Seaworld’s treatment of orca whales most likely because she--
said scientists didn't know what the mother orca was communicating and wants to conduct further research
to show that orca "speech" is very different from human "speech" and can reach extremely long distances
to show that the mother was sad and calling for her baby and that Seaworld felt badly that they had to separate them
so the viewer could hear firsthand the pain in the mother's vocals and better understand that pain to sympathize with the animals more
Which of Seaworld’s statements responding to the tragedy of the trainer, Dawn Brancheau, is an example of stereotyping?
That all killer whales are dangers
That all killer whales are gentle giants and any injuries must be accidents and no one is at fault
