Each Sunday my good friend Al of A Mixed Bag hosts a Flash Fiction Called Photo Fiction. He shares one of his extraordinary photo’s and we write a story of 100-200 words on what we see. You can click on the link above to join in and/or click on the link below to enjoy the stories from other writers.
John finally took me on that cruise he’s been promising me for years. We left from the pier not too far from where the Intrepid is docked. I should have known that was a bad omen. John told me not to be silly. We’ll travel from the Atlantic to the Pacific straight to Alaska. I say okay, what do I know. After two days of water, water, water we see these Orcas swimming along the ship. We damn near tipped the ship over with everyone hanging over the rail on one side. Then out of nowhere this orange boat appears and a helicopter swoops down on the boat. It seems the folks in the orange boat were trapping baby Orcas for Sea World. I tell you I’m sure glad they got busted. They should be shamed, kidnapping baby Orcas from their mama’s and family.
I watched a documentary the other day called Black Fish. The content touched me it is another example of the greed in humanity.

A tragedy that happens way to often. Thank you for taking time to expose yet another incident. Sadness is in my heart …
Yes it does and not just in the sea. A few weeks ago they were shooting White Owls around Kennedy Airport here in NY because they were flying where the plans take off and land causing the airplanes to malfunction and/or crash. The animal rights people said White Owls are in jeopardy of instinct. They also said the white Owls are easy to capture and relocate. Man he can be such a beast.
Yes mankind can be a beast. We are so self centered. As if everything else on earth that is alive, that breaths, that thinks at any degree … doesn’t even exist. It’s as and pathetic that in this particular mentality Humanity had not evolved at all. We still see ourselves as the ALL. Heavy sigh … Xo my friend, again a great thing to share to help wake us all up!
This makes me sad, but I’m glad you wrote about it to spread more awareness, Kim. Great job! And I love Al’s photography, too!
Thank you Lauren. Yes it is sad the things man does for money.
Love that you call attention to this sort of thing. It’s one of my concerns/dislikes. I’ve yet to see that movie but I plan to.
Thanks. It helps that I just saw the documentary.
😦 Don’t trap da babies
I know the orcas travel in pods and are families. In the wild they are gentle in captivity they are aggressive. Thanks for reading.
I hear all about animals especially the water creatures from my daughter. She is my future vet and has a love of marine biology. So sad how things happen when people aren’t watching.
I know. 🙂
Great story and sad that I guess that stuff does go on. Well done.
It does. It’s an interesting documentary. Thanks for reading and commenting.
Well done!!
Thank you. I was on the desktop all day and forgot to check if I’m following your blog.
Great to have kidnappers busted… great write..
Thank you.
I’m glad those people were busted as well. I haven’t seen that documentary, I’ll have to try and find it. Great work!
It’s on Netflix. It’s sad.
It is so sad that people find the need to do that. Is it not far better to watch them in the surrounds of their own area? Yes, they look nice doing tricks, but they are not happy. Their dorsal fins are flipped over signifying unhappiness. I think you captured that well with this story, Kim. Thanks.
