That is besides the point. It's a game built around building an ethical zoo. Like it or not the game has a message behind it. In any case, if they spent time developing a marine DLC that only some players want, then that's time not spent developing a more conventional DLC that would be more likely to please everyone and not be controversial. "Don't like, don't buy" has literally never, not once, been a good argument. This isn't a pair of shoes that you can avoid in favour of another pair of shoes, it's literally the only decent zoo game on the market.
If we are going with the ethical arguement then we shouldn't have elephants either. Their social structures are nearly identical to orcas as is their life history and brain anatomy (matriarchal with offspring staying in the natal herd [male elephants do leave while male orcas stay with mom], traveling hundreds of miles, very convoluted/wrinkly brains with incredibly developed emotional centers).
Don't like it dont buy does apply. Especially with $10 dlcs. You can avoid the pack you don't want, save your 10 bucks and still keep your game how you want it. You can literally pick and choose what you want. It isn't an all or nothing.
