Whales raised in captivity aren't going to do too well in the wild after all this time, but OP was unnecessarily dismissive. That said, if his date truly cared, she probably shouldn't have agreed to go out to an aquarium.SE7https://www.blogger.com/profile/01149195447196054351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186499665856075184.post-56194168076610561612011-05-18T02:36:32.938-04:002011-05-18T02:36:32.938-04:00I was so sure this story was going to be about fat...I was so sure this story was going to be about fat chicks after reading the title.

They are meant to be roaming thousands of miles in the ocean. But more importantly it's the lack of a proper family structure that apparently is the main problem.<br /><br />Sure, if they are rescued from the wild, they may be better off. But they would be better off released back into the wild (if possible).<br /><br />OP was being a bit of a jerk. He could have listened to her, or at least agreed to disagree or something polite. Instead he just dismisses her concerns as trivial.Anonymehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07517501762175661468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3186499665856075184.post-89543959886130465792011-05-17T17:49:16.263-04:002011-05-17T17:49:16.263-04:00Vegans.
