They're Born Free

Hi! I'm Stephanie. I live in Orlando Florida with my awesome husband Jake and our dog/first child, Henry. I am a painter, illustrator, coffee drinker, comic-book addict, and big sister.

I've had killer whales and dolphins on my heart and mind ever since a recent visit to SeaWorld. The more I read and learn about them, the more I have become convinced that it is not right to keep these sentient, social, highly evolved animals in captivity. This blog is a place where I will share the things I'm learning, and spread hope for their eventual freedom!

It is my hearts desire that we all would be inspired to make a change. We really should learn to protect and cherish the freedom of intelligent beings. To appreciate things like majesty and might without feeling the need to contain or control them.

We humans are hugely unique amongst the animal kingdom. We have the responsibility of caring for and protecting our world. We ought to accept that there are other creatures on earth that are smart, cultural, and important in their own way. I hope these free animals have a spiritual effect on people... that we might see in them a reflection of the goodness, wonder, and enormity of the Creator.

So thank you for visiting and reading! Share your thoughts! They are welcome here.
