Opinions:
Killer whales are man’s friends.
There is no danger in the sea because killer whales can protect human beings.
There’re lots of sea animals and plants in the seas and oceans, so man can kill or use as many sea creatures as we want.
Sea animals should be kept in zoos, so that they’ll have more food to eat and become more healthy.
