It's sad to think that euthanizing them may be the most humane option. But sending them to a new place in China, where they would be in entertainment shows, and bred to continue the captivity of future generations has it's own ethical dilemma.
Thirty? Why the fuck would the need thirty whales to begin with.
Indeed. China's social environment is not conducive to good health and care for most animals.
Panda's being the exception there. My wife is Chinese and it's in their DNA that they have to love Panda's. We have so many stuffed animal Panda's and she has unique names for them all and I've been forced to create unique voices for every one of them. Her friend gave her a big panda stuffy and she named him snuggles and since we're not planning to have kids, and she doesn't like dogs or cats. I'm forced to provide voiceover for the panda named Snuggles.
They should make a gofundme or whatever
I don't think whales can use the internet.
They’re afraid of the net.
