(no subject)
I just went downstairs to try and explain to my mum, and halfway through I got choked up and now I'm practically crying my eyes out. I don't fucking know why. She seems to be on the other side of things, she doesn't understand. I said that the thing that's pissing me off most is that fact that these kids are being so ignorant. She kept coming back with 'It's his choice' and I fucking KNOW it's his choice. And that's what I can't understand. If it's what he wants, why am I so messed up about it? Why am I sitting here crying?
And once this story leaks out to the papers, people are gonna be saying 'In your FACE' to all the animal-rights campaigners... that orcas can't be released. And that's also what's screwing with my mind - THEY DON'T FUCKING UNDERSTAND. They're assuming that all orcas are the same. They're not. Every single one has a different personality. Keiko is, and always has been, a softie. Right from the start, I had a nagging feeling at the back of my mind that he was too attatched to people to ever be truely 'free'. Other captive orcas are different, and still possible candidates for release. It looks like, because of this, people aren't going to support any orca rehab programs. Because it's a 'waste of money'. Over £13 million was spent on Keiko, and that's all been undone now thanks to these stupid kids. Looks like the captive orcas that really need help, like Lolita and Kshamenk, aren't ever gonna get that chance.
I don't know why I'm messed up. Thinking about this now, I'm not crying anymore, but I'm still kinda weepy. Fuck, I can be way too emotional. >_<## I'm too melodramatic.
Way to spend the last day of the summer.
