Most of the stuff that I’d read or watch is non-fiction so Blackfish was a documentary on my radar as having gotten great reviews recently. It’s a film that investigates incidents involving killer whales in captivity and is quite shocking. It’s clear that these mammals have a social sense far greater than humans (as has been evidenced by brain MRI) and the damage that captivity does to them is truly immeasurable. I believe we’ll look back in years to come and realise how much of a mad practice this is. Recommend viewing.
