While SeaWorld's decision last month to end its orca breeding program delighted animal rights activists, it disappointed many marine scientists, who say they will gradually lose vital opportunities to learn things that could help killer whales in the wild. Researchers outside SeaWorld argue they need its facilities and 1,500 employees in animal care to answer questions about wild orca behavior. "If you want to interact with them and conduct research, the combination of talent you have to have is a scientist with a research question, animals that are healthy so that you're looking at normal physiological rates, and in between that are the trainers — and I think people miss that," said Terrie Williams, who runs the Center for Marine Mammal Research and Conservation.Too fucking bad, monsters. Maybe you'll learn from this? No, you won't. You'll continue being COOOOOL, continue supporting all the lethal genocidal serial killers of "Climate Science" and "Economics" and Quantum Quackery. Big Grants have to stick together, even though it means losing all credibility among fact-loving people.
