everyone should be able to go whale watching before they die. everyone no matter how far they live from the ocean should be allotted at least one government subsidized whale watching trip. if u don’t at least see dolphins you get a redo. i would be proud to have my tax dollars fund this instead of frivolous and silly things like the military

Learning anything about marine mammal training will make you re-evaluate so much of your relationship with your own pets. There is so much force involved in the way we handle domestic animals. Most of it isn’t even intentional, it just stems from impatience. I’m guilty of it myself!

But with the exception of certain veterinary settings where the animal’s health is the immediate priority, why is it so important to us that animals do exactly what we want exactly when we want it? Why do we have to invent all these tools and contraptions to force them to behave?

When a whale swam away from a session, that was that. The trainer just waited for them to decide to come back. If they flat out refused to participate in behaviors, they still got their allotment of fish. Nothing bad happened. Not even when 20-30 people were assembled for a procedure, and the whale chose not to enter the medical pool. No big deal. Their choice and comfort were prioritized over human convenience.

It’s almost shocking to return to domestic animal medicine afterwards and watch owners use shock collars and chokers and whips to control their animals. It’s no wonder that positive reinforcement was pioneered by marine mammal trainers. When you literally can’t force an animal to do what you want, it changes your entire perspective.

I want to see that mindset extended to our domestic animals.

to the tune of harry styles' sweet creature: sea creatures...

some cleaned up sketches from my dedicated class doodles area. the melon of a beluga brings me intense joy i highly recommend drawing a beluga

[id: stylized drawings of a sperm whale, belugas, a dolphin, a rainbow trout, a shark, a goldfish, and an eel. in the background and blank spaces are colourful sea stars. end id.]

Hi, This is sooo so very cool, I’m in the middle of my final exams right now and every so often I forget why I love biology, and chemistry and then I think dammit I should have just picked languages as my high level courses. But whenever I see your blog, I am reminded of why I want to study biochemistry. It’s just so insanely cool. Anyways, you don’t have to answer, but I just wanted to let you know. Many thanks!!!!

Happy Space Cetacean Saturday! Check out these winged dolphins around a whale spaceship, by Rodney Matthews for the 1992 album art to Asia’s “Aqua.” Or are those really thin orcas? They have the markings.
