original artwork image to greatly enhance its detail.
Well as per above NEWGATE brand prison foods
just about stretched to
RATS and MICE.
Well 300 years ago that was the NEWGATE survival menu.
LIDL STOCKWELL obviously greatly digs the NEWGATE brand
and has on offer VEG and SOUPS and presumably they're
RATS and MICE free. Perhaps LIDL's overnight security staff keep
very very careful watch indeed.

SeaWorld "BLACKFISH" FILM OMISSIONS! NAMELY "THE TILIKUM STARVATION TIT BITS TRAINING REGIME".
Without doubt this is a worthwhile well intentioned cinema production altho I do have certain strong misgivings that I intend to express below.
Towards the very end of this film which is about the disgusting murderous capture and unending incarceration of huge black whales (hence the film title) there is a particular sequence highlighted. This is when one long captured whale nicknamed
TILIKUM shown above and
-
CLICK HERE - turns on one of its so-called female
"trainers" and savages her fatally. In unpicking the alleged false original narrative given afterwards to this fatal event by
SeaWorld and the contemporary
USA media, the film for the first and pretty well the only film sequence points up that small dead fish were being singularly given to
TILIKUM whale
AS IT PERFORMED its various antics - obviously because the tit bits were an integral part of
TILIKUM's programmed captivity
TRAINING and action tactics.
However this film production very very surprisingly indeed gave absolutely
NO FULL INFORMATION about how the said
WHALES while in captivity for financial and entertainment purposes were actually
TAUGHT TO PERFORM their antics - this was a surprising omission given that there seemed no shortage of
TRAINERS of the
WHALES WHILE IN CAPTIVITY. We are talking here of
"TRAINERS" who have now in fact seen the light and who
WITH THIS PRODUCTION have decided to help end the
BLACKFISH in captivity industry. In the film on camera they seemed earnest enough on the face of it so why no information whatsoever on how these enormous whales were
"trained" (aka forced) to perform in ways and conditions that were absolutely not natural for them at all.
Not a single filmed
ex trainer - or the films producers - felt it worthwhile to explain how such creatures could
HAVE BEEN MADE to so perfom/ behave. Not a single clue. Well as I've written above in paragraph one perhaps just momentarily the film producers by implication did show a clue when they pointedly observed that
TILIKUM WHALE'S single tiny fish tit bit treats given singularly
while actually performing had pretty well run out when it
TILIKUM had decided to suddenly attack and kill one of its long established female trainers. That is the only moment on my recollecton when
>>> whale FEEDING while in captivity <<<
is highlighted but it fails to tell the full story and state whether
TRAINERS were part and parcel
of a tit bits starvation regime which had helped to get the imprisoned whales to do their performance routines.
The film is earnest and very obviously well intentioned in the aspiration that enormous whales should not be captured and killed for entertainment purposes. But the so called entertainments which the whales peform are not normal whale antics and so how on earth are they got to learn and perform them? For a clue read on. What motivates the Whales???
The Whales are routinely starved and fed only during their routine training and performances because only if the starving creatures then do get their tit bits of food will they learn or perform the routines. Because of this the trainers know that this has been the case hands down. So why did non of those on the face of it coming clean in
BLACKFISH not absolutely point that out? Probably they did not voice these feeding/ starvation tactical processes because that would have so graphically showed how they too had been very very willing to coerce and starve the creatures until willy nilly they had a change of heart. So, why do I believe this - it is because my old Scottish father born in 1899 had in the early 1920's toured from Scotland throughout the
UK, EUROPE and the
USA with a Circus and helped with
SEA LIONS and other creatures and grew to absolutely detest Circus creature incarceration and until his death always absolutely swore that the creatures were only coerced to perfom because before so performing they were kept absolutely starved.
The above starvation aspect of
BLACKFISH torture and maltreatment was
NOT articulated in the
BLACKFISH film - very stringent criticisms of
SeaWorld itself were articulated but routine starvation of the
WHALES by their "seen the light" trainers was
NOT articulated. The film simply projects the general theme that the acquatic spacial enviroment for
WHALES is obviously too cruel and restrictive but the underlying
STARVATION of whales
BY THEIR TRAINERS WAS NOT ARTICULATED. Maybe they were too ashamed and it would have left them feeling less
BIG HEARTED after all. Most of the critics in the film were
ex TRAINERS so they well knew what was
NOT being articulated.
The current editon of the
LAMBETH freebee propaganda publication
WEEKENDER (1 Nov 2013) at
page 3 (OPEN HERE AND SEARCH) has a longish plug for the
BLACKFISH production claiming that the film
does articulate the starvation shortcoming - the film absolutely did not when I saw it at the
BRIXTON RITZY in the
mid summer period and subsequently I wrote to the
film distributors and got no acknowledgement of any kind. Maybe a distributor
PR number is now being articulated to cover the omission.
The purpose of this critique is NOT to suggest boycott this film -
it is to record a level of disappointment.
