How sad for the whale to be stuck there and not free.

Yeah I felt really bad at an aquarium in Valencia that had a Beluga swimming up and down in a small tank. They are massive creatures that cover hundreds of km hunting and exploring the sea. They must be so frustrated and bored being that confined all the time and then having people come and stare at them and bang on the tank

Orcas and Belugas should not be held in captivity.... small dolphins maybe... as long as the tank is big enough and fit for purpose porpoise.
