看晚了,但万幸看到了。高分纪录片黑鲸Blackfish (2013)观感!

 下载了一部叫黑鲸鱼的纪录片,本意是想继续我的跟着纪录片学英文项目,但是看过之后,我决心写下这段文字,仅从这部纪录片内容出发,借助我在这个平台上仅有的一丝影响力,分享给更多的人。如果你愿意花五分钟的时间阅读下面这段文字且受到些许震动,请尽你所能将它传递到更远的地方,让更多尚未泯灭良知的人类看到。上面这句话看着真的有些辣,也许还显得十足的愣头青,没办法,作为一个二十多岁的青年人,我不发声,谁发声。

 这部纪录片时长一个小时二十三分十五秒,在这里我仅提炼三个部分,想了解更全面的内容,可以自行搜索关键词黑鲸鱼/Blackfish”下载观看。

一,捕鲸

 纪录片开头采访了虎鲸研究者,Howard Garret(霍华德加雷特),他描述了一段真实的抓捕虎鲸的经过:

“they had airplanes, they had spotters, they had speedboats, they had bombs they were throwing in the water. They were lighting their bombs with acetylene torches in their boats and throwing them as fast as they could to herd the whales into cover. But the orcas had been caught before and they knew what was going on and they knew their young once would be taken from them. So the adults without young went east into a cul-de-sac and the boats followed them, thinking they were all going that way while the mothers with babies went northbut the capture teams had aircraft. And they have to come up for air eventually. And when they did,the capture teams alerted the boats and said. ”oh, no, they’re going north… the ones with babies.”So the boats… the speedboats caught them there and herded them in. And then they had fishing boats with seine nets that they would stretch across so none could leave and then they could just pick out the young ones.”

简而言之就是人们在70年代的时候在船上用乙烷火炬把炸弹点燃,然后扔到海里把鲸鱼赶到海湾,但虎鲸以前被抓捕过,他们知道怎么回事, 所以成年鲸鱼自己做饵引诱捕鲸者的船而母鲸和幼鲸趁机往南游去。但悲哀的是捕鲸队有飞机啊。而且鲸鱼们最终还是必须浮上来呼吸空气,当他们浮上来时,捕鲸队的飞机就会立刻发现并且通知捕鲸队去追,快艇就在那追上它们, 把他们赶死角再撒网,鲸鱼们无一漏网, 然后捕鲸者就可以把幼鲸挑出来。

(以下是纪录片中捕捉幼鲸的真实画面)

“They had the young ones that they wanted in the corrals, so they dropped the seine nets. And all the others could have left, but they stayed.”当幼鲸被捕上来时,渔网被收走,其他所有的鲸鱼都可以跑掉,但它们没有,

(以下是纪录片中黑鲸围绕抓走幼鲸船只不走的真实画面)

一个曾参与到抓捕虎鲸任务的人同样回忆道

“the whole family is out there, 25yards away maybe, in a big line, and they’re communicating back and forth.You understand then what you’re doing, you know…I lost it… just like kidnapping a little kid away from their mother.整个鲸鱼家族就在那周围,保持着25码左右的距离,形成一条大大的阵线,它们在来回的不断的交流,那时你就明白你在做什么了,我,我不知所措..就好像,从他们身边把他们的小孩一个个绑走。

二,事故。

1983年,一只年仅两岁的雄性虎鲸被捕获于北大西洋,他被人们称作Tilikum.

这部纪录片穿插了提到了关于明星黑鲸Tilikum提里库姆的三次杀人事件。

第一位受害者是名兼职工人Keltie Byrne,他被提里库姆拖下水之后,像个玩物一样溺死,海洋公园对外宣称此人是意外溺亡。

第二位受害者是Dukes杜克斯,夜晚溜进海洋公园,想看一看他热爱的明星,被提里库姆杀害后,海洋公园对外宣称此人是流浪汉,有精神问题,死因是过低温。这时越来越多的海洋世界的工作人员开始质疑这种说法。

第三位受害者是位优秀的训练员Dawn。在看台表演时,被提里库姆当场杀害。

当海洋世界的发音人被问到“这位女驯兽师是否按照正常准则和鲸鱼进行了互动呢”以下是发言人的第一次回答

不慎落水

excuse me????????

然后随着越来越多的目击证人出现,发言人在第二次面对媒体时承认是虎鲸把那个女驯兽师拖下水的而不是像最初报道的那样自己落入水池,但把焦点转移到了女驯兽师的马尾辫上。

最新的说法是她的马尾辫被咬住了。

同事们都坐不住了,很多人表示平时的训练和很多其他驯兽师都会扎马尾,这没有任何不妥。

也有人表示第二次的发言简直就是把责任全部推到了死去的驯兽师身上

而此时另一位海底世界新闻人接受采访时

义hou正yan言wu辞chi的画面

“Dawn(女驯兽师的名字),if she was standing here with me right now, would tell you that it was her mistake in allowing that to happen. ”

简直人血馒头

其他驯兽师接受采访时的画面

三,谎言。

在海底世界,工作人员向外展示和透露了许多关于黑鲸的讯息都非事实。

《黑鲸》Blackfish,2013

1)寿命

虎鲸研究者Howard Garret在提到人们(此处主要指无知的人民群众)对鲸鱼的了解是“less than nothing”比无知还无知。经过研究发现,关于虎鲸的事实是

What we learned is that they’re amazing friendly and understanding and intuitively want to be your companion. And to this day there is no record of an orca doing any harm to any human in the wild. They live in these big families. And they have life spansvery similar to human life spans. The females can live to about 100, maybe more, males to about 50 or 60.”

他们友好的令人惊讶,善解人意并直观地想成为你的同伴。迄今为止,没有任何虎鲸在野外对人类造成任何伤害的记录。他们住在这些大家庭里,他们的寿命和人类的寿命很相似。雌性鲸鱼大约能活到100岁,甚至更长。雄性黑鲸能活50到60岁。

下面重点来了!!!

“Because the whales in their pools die young, they like to say that all orcas die at 25or 30 years.”

在海底世界中的鲸鱼往往去世很早, 他们(海底世界工作人员)就说鲸鱼的平均寿命在25到30岁。

赤裸裸的谎言 !!!!!!

“We knew by 1980, after half a dozen years of the research, that they live equivalent to human life spans.”他们当然是在撒谎,我们(研究人员)在1980年得知,在研究了六年之后,鲸鱼的寿命几乎等同于人类的寿命。

2)背鳍

可怕的是谎还没有撒完!

“And every other potentially embarrassing fact is twisted, and turned and denied one way or another,like the floppy dorsal fins.” 所有其他的潜在的令人为难的事实都被扭曲了,然后被拒绝承认,就像是松软的背鳍。

而事实是

“Dorsal collapse happens in less than 1% of wild killer whales… and all the captive males 100% have collapsed dorsal fins.”在野外,背鳍衰竭在虎鲸中发生的概率不到1%。而所有被抓被圈养的雄性鲸鱼出现背鳍衰竭现象的比例是100%。

由于这个事实实在让我过于震惊,我又去搜索了下相关资料作证,“A male killer whale’s dorsal fin can grow to as much as 6 feet tall and it is not impossible for a wild orca’s dorsal fin to collapse or become ben” 雄性虎鲸的背鳍可以长到长达6英尺而且几乎不可能有弯软现象发生!而在圈养时,背鳍弯曲主要是由于呆在水面时间,在相对狭小的池子中保持一个方向游动,背鳍组织缺少锻炼和遭受其他黑鲸的攻击有关。下图是一组健康黑鲸的背鳍状态:

3)虚假的温情

无论是被圈养起的海鲸彼此之间还是海鲸和海底世界之间。

海洋之地前主管Steve Huxter在接受采访中表示“The previous headtrainer used techniques that involved punishment. 前总教练使用了涉及处罚的表演技术。

“He would team a trained orca up with Tilikum who was untrained. He would send them both off to do the same behavior. If Tilikum didn’t do it, then both animals were punished.” 他会把训练有素的虎鲸和未经训练的提里库姆组成一队。他会将他们罚下场去做同样的行为。如果提里库姆做不到,两者都要受罚。

“Deprived of food to keep them hungry,this caused a lot of frustration with the larger animal. The established animal, and would in turn get frustrated with Tilikum.” 剥夺食物,让他们挨饿。这对这群巨型动物带来了很大的挫折。已经被训练过的虎鲸,会反过来对提里库姆感到沮丧。

“and would rake him with his teeth.”

然后,就开始用牙齿咬他。

除了食物的短缺,不同族群的无法沟通和侵害,虎鲸的生存空间也小的可怜!Tilikum所在水池还不及他在自然界中1天活动范围的一万分之一,相当于一个人被囚禁在一个单人浴缸里。

如果你在一个鱼缸大小的地方生活了二十五年,你一点也不会动怒,恼火,或者有点发疯吗?!!!

以上的所有的欲盖弥彰,其根本纯粹是为了海底世界的商业利益,游客拖家带口的兴奋,善良勤奋的训练员自以为是的以为跟动物之间独一无二的情感纽带,都为海洋公园幕后大佬们利益输入提供了源源不断的美元保障。

The industry has a vested interest in spinning these, so that the animals continue to appear, like cuddly teddy bears that are completely safe. You know that sells a lot of Shamu dolls, it sells a lot of tickets at the gate, and that’s the story line that they’re going to continue to stick with for as long as they can.

一位研究鲸类的学者表示:

“There’s something wrong. You know with Tilikum that there’s something wrong and that’s when you have a relationship with that animal and you understand that he’s killing not to be a savage. It’s not killing because he’s just crazy. He’s not killing because he doesn’t know what he’s doing. He ‘s killing because he ‘s frustrated and he’s got aggravations and he doesn’t know how to…he has no outlet for it. ”哪里出问题了,你知道提里库姆出了问题,当你和某个鲸鱼有了关系,你会明白它的杀戮不是野蛮残暴的, 他不是因为不知道自己在做什么才杀戮。他杀戮是因为他很沮丧。他恼怒是因为他不知所措,它找不到出口去排解。

一位神经学家表示:

“All whales in captivity have a bad life. They’re all emotionally destroyed. They’re all psychologically traumatized, so they are ticking time bombs.”所有圈养着的鲸鱼都生活的水深火热,他们被情绪化所摧毁。他们在心理上遭受巨大的创伤。所以他们都是定时炸弹。

一位前驯兽师说:

“I’m not at all interested in having my daughter, who is three and a half, growing up thinking that is’ normalized to have these intelligent highly evolved animals in concrete pools. I don’t want her to think that’s how we treat the kin thatwe find ourselves around on this planet. I think it’s atrocious. ”我不能让我的三岁半的女儿对此感兴趣,认为这是正常的在成长过程中,这些聪明高度进化的动物,在有限的封闭的水池里. 我不希望她认为我们是那样对待在这个星球上的我们周边的同类(这里指大家都是哺乳动物),,我认为这糟糕透了。

Tilikum于2017年年初在海洋公园走完了他36岁的一生。

这部纪录片我完整的看了五遍,经历了从一开始的震撼,羞愧(我在青岛看过一场完整的海豚表演),崩溃到颤抖再到努力克制自己写下上面的文字的全部过程。在自然界,鲸是如此的智慧,充满灵性,他们拥有自己的家庭,语言甚至自己的族群文化。而人类正在做的勾当却是用一层欢乐雀跃的外衣做幌,用最恶心的手段捕获虐控别的种族的幼崽来取悦自己族群的幼崽。我会从此刻起拒绝观看任何形式的动物表演,包括且不限于大象骑乘、与老虎合影、与狮子散步、参观熊园、把玩海龟、观看海豚虎鲸表演、耍猴、参观猫屎咖啡园、耍蛇以及参观鳄鱼饲养场。

如果你也一样,就从自己做起,传递这份信念和力量!

2010年2月24日,美国弗洛里达海洋世界发生了一起令人始料未及的惨剧。资深驯鲸员道恩·布兰切(Dawn Brancheau)突然被一只名为提里库姆的雄性虎鲸拖入水池,短短几分钟内这位拥有灿烂笑容与和善感染力的女性便被朝夕相处的虎鲸伙伴杀死。它迎来了以道恩为首的一群热爱海洋动物同时被高层隐瞒了诸多事故真相的驯鲸员。
