again this is the issue the public display industry keeps many species of marine mammals captive in concrete tanks especially whales and dolphins so this is how the introduction was presented by the writer there is no doubt that marine mammals should not be held in captivity they are a part of nature and should not be bought sold or thrown in an aquarium marine mammals have the right to be kept in their natural environment the sentence in red is the claim or thesis statement this is the stand of the writer so for him marine mammals should be kept in their natural environment for the body he presented a list of evidence to support his claim the first reason is highlighted in blue followed by the supporting details captivity causes many health problems in marine mammals many tanks have water full of chemicals and bacteria this results to blindness and many skin problems in dolphins and other marine mammals marine mammals in captivity die from pneumonia ulcers and other stress-related diseases most of these helpless creatures suffer from boredom dolphins in the wild can swim up to 40 to 100 miles per day but in pools they go around swimming repetitive patterns due to boredom and limited space many dolphins abuse themselves they often bang their heads against tank and aquarium walls reason 2 in addition some of these poor innocent creatures face abusive treatment by their caretakers thus shortening their lifespan in fact keiko the killer whale star of free willy was a victim of this type of abuse it was known to be said that he was 1000 pounds underweight and

definitely not be held in captivity mahatma gandhi once said the greatness of a nation and its moral process can be measured by the way its animals are treated in a world where much of nature in the wild has already been lost it is up to us to let this beautiful marine mammals free the conclusion consists of three elements the sentence in red is a statement of the writer's claim or opinion it was
