Beneath the Surface: Killer Whales, SeaWorld, and the Truth Beyond Blackfish
by Howard Chua-Eoan, John Hargrove
dark
informative
inspiring
reflective
sad
tense
slow-paced
I read & finished this book while on Holiday. It's an emotional read to be sure, I teared up on some of the descriptions. I really loved learning more about Hargrove's personal journey to become a Seaworld trainer. And how he is still in love & totally disgusted with what he did. I thought the moral ambiguity that this job brings was clearly established and remained a point of discussion throughout the book.
The whales are also given introductions one by one and you get a feel for their characters, which was nice. I really felt for the poor whales. They don't deserve this Life in captivity. Same goes for all the poeple that where harmed only because a company wamted to make money of the back of some of the most intelligent animals on earth.
