ALL IS WHALE THAT ENDS WHALE? THE DEFICIENCIES IN NATIONAL PROTECTION FOR ORCA WHALES IN CAPTIVITY.
- Authors
Wise, Hillary T.
- Abstract
The article discusses what the author refers to as the deficiencies in America's national legal protection for Orca (killer) whales in captivity, and it mentions the U.S. Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 (MMPA) in relation to the killer whale-related death of senior whale trainer Dawn Brancheau at the SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment Inc.'s animal park in Orlando, Florida. America's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is assessed, along with the documentary film "Blackfish."
