    Very interesting and thought provoking!

    i couldnt watch the video, as it needs a password (do you just need to join the site?) as i cant watch the video, i cant tell if you are pro or anti cap.

    i joined in a debate on here a few months ago, about marine mammals in captivity. (i said i dont agree with it) and i got nothing but abuse.

    the nastiness put me off coming to the site.

    just because i dont agree with one thing, apparently was justification to act like i didnt belong on here.

    if you start an adult (no name calling) disscussion on the subject, i will be happy to join in.

    The video has been taken down by the journalist who created it while she reorders her site. As soon as it is up again I will repost the link.

    I think the thread referred to is this one: http://www.zoochat.com/2/wdcs-against-cetaceans-captivity-152424/

    I just skim-read it again and as far as I could see nobody abused jenjen or called her names or was "nasty", mostly it was simply providing opposing viewpoints to those she held. If she took it in the ways stated then I'm sure nobody really intended it that way
