    ISSUE
    marine mammals captive in concrete tanks,
    especially whales and dolphins.
    introduction
    There is no doubt that marine mammals
    should not be held in captivity. They are part of
    nature and should not be bought, sold or thrown in
    an aquarium. Marine mammals have the right to be
    kept in their natural environment because they
    experience health problems, abusive treatment and
    breed very poorly in captivity.
    BODY Reason 1 + supporting
    details
    Captivity causes many health problems in marine
    mammals. Many tanks have water full of chemicals and
    bacteria; this results to blindness and many skin problems
    in dolphins and other marine animals. Marine mammals in
    captivity die from pneumonia, ulcers and other stress
    related diseases. Most of these helpless creatures suffers
    from boredom. Dolphins in the wild can swim up to 40-100
    miles per day, but in pools they go around swimming
    repetitive patterns. Due to boredom and limited space,
    many dolphins abuse themselves; they often bang their
    BODY Reason 2 + supporting
    details
    In addition, some of these poor innocent creatures
    face abusive treatment by their caretakers; thus,
    shortening their lifespan. In fact, Keiko, the killer whale
    star of Free Willy , was a victim of this type of abuse. It
    was known to be said that he was 1000 pounds
    underweight a developed a wartlike disease. His teeth
    were ground down chewing the sides of the pool due to
    boredom, and he also had a problem with his dorsal fin.
    BODY Reason 3 + supporting
    details
    Marine mammals also breed very poorly in captivity
    with very high infant death rates. For this reason, when a
    baby dolphin is born into captivity, its birth is usually kept
    a secret from its mother until it shows signs of survival.
    Marine mammals do breed in captivity, but the birth rate
    in captivity is not as successful as in the wild.
    counterclaim

    On the contrary, some people think that holding


    animals in captivity helps in study and research. But the
    truth is, scientists prefer to learn about animals in their
    natural environment, so they get firsthand knowledge.

    rebuttal
    conclusion Restate your
    position

    In conclusion, marine mammals should definitely not


    be held in captivity. Mahatma Ghandi once said, "The
    greatness of a nation and its moral process can be
    measured by the way its animals are treated." In a world
    where much of nature and the wild has already been lost,
    it is up to us to let these beautiful marine mammals free.
