Re: Your view of the reptile hobby
The comparison to killer whales is really silly. They're extremely intelligent and they also have deep emotional bonds with their family members that are often violently shattered when these parks move whales around. They also naturally roam over thousands of square miles of ocean, and the tanks most parks keep them in are the equivalent of snake rack systems[in terms of size]. Often times the parks will store multiple unrelated whales in the same small holding tanks at night, which causes stress and fighting.
There are just no valid parallels between keeping killer whales and reptiles.
