I often think about Shamu, Corky and Lolita. Shamu was a Southern Resident from J pod. She was captured in 1965 in Puget Sound, Washington. Her mother was harpooned and killed in front of her. Shamu died in 1975 at SeaWorld San Diego. Corky is the oldest orca in captivity. She was captured in 1969 in Pender Harbour, British Columbia. She is from the A5 pod, A23 matriline. Her mother was A23 Stripe. Corky still has family in the wild - sister Ripple, brother Fife, niece Midsummer, great-nephews Fern and Ne'nakw, and great-niece Eliot. Corky lives at SW San Diego. Lolita was captured in 1970 in Puget Sound, Washington. She is a Southern Resident and member of the L pod. Her mother is L25 Ocean Sun (estimated to be 93 years old). Lolita lives in the smallest orca tank in the world at the Miami Seaquarium.
Sally Green: Yeah sure, let’s release the orcas into the wild where they have no idea how to defend themselves, or hunt! And let’s let them survive on their own WITHOUT a pod to help them so they can be alone and scared for the rest of their lives in the wild, orcas are VERY social animals. These orcas would die within a couple days of being released. Do some research BEFORE you comment
Yellow Pearl swag ok they get stressed. Some even prescribe medication to these whales so they don’t feel anxious. They cant survive out in the wild due to some things humans do to them.
Education should be given to others about how Orca's live in the wild, not how they perform tricks in shows. There is no natural behavior of an Orca during these performances. It's no better than a circus.
True, but depending on what country you live in, it could either be spelled correctly, to you, or incorrectly to someone else. So it's neither correct nor incorrect.
Kidnapped away from their family and homes, forced to perform tricks for food in a tank, abused until they die lonely. One can only try to grasp what these beautiful souls are put through in the name of human entertainment. R. I. P. Tillikum, you are free now 🐾
@Timothy O'Mara half of that statement is true. while many of their whales are captive raised, there are still several adults who come from the wild. Sea World is not a zoo or an aquarium it is an amusement park.
20 years in the dream world, not a peep outside. You compromised. You wanted to study orcas. You compromised. You slaved at your 9 to 5 job instead. You wanted fresh tuna. You compromised. You ate canned tuna off the radiator instead.
@Tư Bùi Orca's in captivity have no choice ,no space.No humans hunt thems for food. educate the right thing. play a good dokumentary about Orca's instead.
singer2be EXACTLY!! Yeah they aren’t in their natural habitat but the training helps stimulate them and the trainers spend all day with them, each trainer has a main whale they train and keep entertained and that’s very important for these very smart animals.
Julia Starr thats normal. When orcas do training there dorsal fins collapse, because it has no bone structure. So water pressure or “gravity” makes it bend.
@@chxmicalkid No. That's not normal you have to see the documentary blackfish and do researsh (real like scientifique and not explain by a marine park) before to say bullshit
you cant release them, there domesticated and cant hunt, there treated with so much care and u can see how happy they are, for an example, dogs or cats, theyre domesticated and they sit in there cage and your house. we treat them well, and they wouldnt want to leave if they had the opportunity.
@@kennedybeaulieu8313 dogs and cats are not a killer whales, dogs and cats most of the time can run free in the owners backyards, killer whales can only do the same thing every day in small tanks, why do you think a lot of them are most likely depressed and with a really short lifespan? They are not having fun.
@@kennedybeaulieu8313 they’re treated with so much care? you must not see how big they are & how small of a tank they’re in. so much care that in order to be fed they must do as they’re told. these creatures deserve to be free in the oceans where they have plenary of space to swim.
@@Poem_Harbor if u don't know please shut up . How can earth have so many nonsense and heartless humans like you!! You would not accept any researcher You would not hear of NGOs But you would just believe what is apparent and what these SeaWorld like organisations say
I grew up 30 minutes or so from the now closed Sea World of Ohio. I had the opportunity to go every year or so growing up. I learned to love and respect these smart and amazing animals. The problem is such a complex one with no easy or simply solution. To all of those who say we need to boycott Sea World, I have to say that essentially cuts the funding to the orcas. Like it or not it's true. Most of the orcas in captivity now were born in captivity and as sad as it is don't know any difference. Cutting the shows also cuts off a big portion of the mental stimulation. So... Getting rid of the shows doesn't fix anything. It makes someone somewhere feel better about themselves. If it were not for Sea World a lot less people would be aware of this amazing animal. I have since been able to see them free in the Pacific Ocean and was amazed all over again. I feel Sea World decision to stop breeding the animals was a good one. As for what to do with all of the orcas in captivity I'm not sure of the right, best or even a good answer is. I just want the best for them. Some of the ideas I heard are just ignorant. I do know there is no simply or easy answer to fix the problem.
+DamionJR4923 I grew up near sw ohio too (even worked there). working there was an eye opener that's for sure. At that point i was really uncomfortable with captivity but still so in love with the animals i ignored that voice telling me it's just wrong. SW lies. They have tons of cash...by not going to SW it's not going to hurt the whales, but it will hurt SW's bottom line. I'm so glad they have ended the breeding program too, but I don't trust them and I bet they are trying to figure something else out that...I don't know what that thing is, but it will be for the benefit of SW not the orcas. There have been some crazy ideas, but also some good ones that I think are workable and SW could still even make money, just not as much as they used to.
No BUT they can be retired to sea sanctuaries where they can live their last years in their natural habitat, they've made SW enough cash, a retirement is the very least they deserve.
there treated with so much care and u can see how happy they are, for an example, dogs or cats, theyre domesticated and they sit in there cage and your house. we treat them well, and they wouldnt want to leave if they had the opportunity. did u even watch the vid. there lowkey enjoying thereselves. your dog cant go hunt like it used to, but its not sad.
@@cBearTV- exactly right. They did it for Keiko the whale that played Willy in free Willy in 1995 & 1996 and by 1997, he was transferred to the Oregon cost aquarium and was then transferred to Iceland a year later.
Makes me wanna cry..........how organized these animals are in this show. They could be out in the wild living freely with their families, happy, but they're stuck here instead; forced to preform for other people to earn seaworld their millions. And what do they get in return? Mistreatment, stress, little space to roam in and no sense of freedom. Sad how all of the whales see this as a way of life and yet dont have the slightest idea of real freedom and living.
Kimmy _G This show reminded me why I love these animals and SeaWorld. Blackfish is completely propaganda. It is in fact 85% lies. Most of the "trainers" never even worked at SeaWorld in fact one of the trainers that actually worked at SeaWorld got demoted for kicking an otter. The documentary was made so biased to make it more successful. Dorsal fin collapse is not un healthy for the orcas, it is mainly due to the fact they spend more time up at the surface with their trainers and as there are no bones in the dorsal it droops. It doesn't hurt the orcas in anyway. Orcas are very intelligent animals so they receive lots of different forms of enrichment everyday learning new behaviors for shows is actually very mentally stimulating for them. Also they are not forced to perform. If the orca does not want to do a trick it doesn't do it and that's fine. I've got lots of video evidence of the orcas refusing tricks and the trainers just move on. They are not starved either they are fed three times a day and the food in shows is sort if like an extra treat for them. SeaWorld has not collected orcas from the wild for over 47 years and most of the orcas are still with there mothers. The scene in blackfish where the mother "cries" when her baby is taken away is fake. Katina was opening her mouth on command of a trainer and blackfish added the sounds in. Did you know SeaWorld rescues over 35,000 animals every year including 400 whales and dolphins. These animals are great ambassadors to their species scientists study them each and every day to help save those in the wild. In the wild populations of orcas are near to extinction because of pollution, overfishing, boat traffic ect. They are the orcas we should be worrying about not these well fed orcas in filtered saltwater. It is such a shame to see the company that inspired so many of us to love these beautiful mammals slowly shut down. Hope this cleared a few things up. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask :)
Kimmy _G sounds like your talking about us average Americans living under Obamas government control. Thank GOD for President Trump who is trying to free us. But he can't do it alone... He needs our help too help ourselves.
Kimmy _G actually they have agreed to not take anymore orcas in and they did not realize what they were doing was wrong and they were not ripped from their familys they were rescued and get the care they need, blackfish is 85% incorrect and SeaWorld does so many good things
hosebeelion lol theyre probably dead by now. Plus u shouldve acted all heartwarming and boycott like years ago. sea worlds stopping the orca things. Do ur reasearch
Ik I get ur point but after a while they take it back and it’s happy there as long as it’s happy and it’s for doing tricks.. if it’s happy and can stay if it’s not they take it bacj
@Ethan Hunter yeah but at least on a farm there given a good place to live with enough land that's why I disapprove of of sea world and slaughter houses if your going to eat an animal give it a decent life
@Ethan Hunter the difference is, these animals were stolen.. They belong to nobody. And the animals we eat don't have to perform. I know terrible things are happening in slaughter houses and so on, but we have to start somewhere. And as I mentioned, the orcas got kidnapped. To make money
Totally agree with u 100%, these are magnificent creatures that deserve to live free lives in the oceans of the world, instead they are used to entertain humans, they are treated extremely well at Seaworld but they still should be free!!!
in response to Gaven Smith: "Those who wish to pet and baby wild animals"love" them. But those who respect their natures and wish to let them live normal lives love them more." Edwin Way Teale e
While I truly think that keeping orcas in captivity is cruel and that they in no way can satisfy their natural needs in this environment, I still find it very fascinating to watch these incredibly smart animals perform. It is crazy how they can learn so much.
these animals are gorgeous and so clever, to be able to do all of that, being as big as they are , it's amazing. I do think though that they shouldn't be in the tanks , because they're TINY...and they shouldn't have been made to perform. It's good that now though most seaworld parks have/ are stopping the shows , wish could see one though, they're stunning.
@Shamu Stadium hmmph i think all sealife should be where theyy belong in the wild not in a concrete box with no coral no live fish no sand no nothing and forced to do tricks the rest of there lives poor things how would you feel about that hmm?
@Shamu Stadium uhh ya right like sean crowley said your not a orca you dont know how it feels to be taken away from your home and forced to do tricks for the rest of your life.
Imagine how stressed out these orcas are. Swimming with people on his nose, on his back n stomach. Just swimming around afterwards and do nothing but bust their heads into the wall(bc alot of them do that:(
Shamu Stadium it amazes me that you can come on here and try and preach that these animals live in good surroundings and are looked after. I mean come on, they are animals kept in giant swimming pools!!! You can try all you like to claim they are healthy and live a good life but all you are doing is fooling yourself. The world has woken up animal treatment and even seaworld has admitted its failings and are slowly ensuring animal welfare comes before everything else. You are a dying breed who thinks animal entertainment comes before animal rights. Bore off and wake up
Shamu Stadium although blackfish may not be 100% accurate, it was the tipping point for millions of people, it opened their eyes to what really happens. In a lot of countries circuses are banned from using animals and so should aqua parks like sea world. “These animals inspire millions of people” that’s because these animals have no choice!! How anyone can believe using these animals, kept in jumped up large fish tanks is for the greater good needs their head examining.
@Shamu Stadium "@Nicolas Moller Absolutely not! All trainers are formed in marine biology or animal psicology." Is Animal psicology a new field? or are they graduating those who cant properly spell their own arena of study these days? As taken from their own website "For SeaWorld, a college degree is not required to be eligible for an animal training position, but it is preferred." As for pools? www.seaworldofhurt.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/orca-bar-graph-2.jpg Yea those bathtubs are real deep. GL misinforming elsewhere.
Arya Stark Yet you continue to watch it. If you have such a big fetish for throwing up you should watch "Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan" (1989)
Are by fact vegan? If butchering animals and eating them does not make you feel physically sick, what makes you think this is. They are being taken care of. At least there is no physical abuse towards these creatures like our food.

the fin being flopped over is not a sign of depression, but it is a common mistake to make, as it is what we used to believe. we've discovered that it is because when a whale spends large amounts of time at the surface of the water, or an area with low currents, with fin has no support so droops. i hope this helped you! :)
That's the point - they are never able to swim where they were designed to swim... Being stuck at the surface in a small space, not experiencing those depths or currents, is the same as putting them in jail with strangers when they are tight knit, strong families in the wild.
i agree on most of what you said. I don't think 'jail' is the appropriate term for SeaWorld. other companies, yes. SeaWorld, not now. the tanks are small, yes. but they get healthcare and food. I don't agree with Captivity in most cases, but None of SeaWorld's orcas can be released, and it's the best facility in the world. so they can't really go anywhere else without being in a worse spot then they are now. and the SeaWorld 'pods' have become tight knit family groups SeaWorld Orlando, for example. Katina, the matriarch is one of the 3 wild caught orcas left in Seaworlds parks. she is the mother of Nalani and Makaio. Tilikum who used to be the 'bull' of the pod, fathered Makaio, Malia and was a grandfather (but acted like a father) to Trua. Kayla sometimes acts as a surrogate mother to Trua. it's a bit of a twisted pod, but they all acted like most pods would out in the wild. the San Anonio pod is pretty much a tiny wild pod, just in captivity. Takara, the matriarch, is mother to Sakari and Kamea. the other two males, Tuar and Kyuquot and brother and very close. most of SeaWorlds whales don't know what the ocean is.
I miss believe. Dawn was on tili preforming far greater. They had such a beautiful bond together! Dawn was such a kind trainer. Now look at the whales, they have beautiful trainers trying there best to help these animals cope with captivity. They give them love,rubs,treats, and toys! The shows are just activities for these creatures. Please, dont blame the trainers for the pools, blame the owners. They made the place anyways.

Rosie Scull if y'all acutally new what happend in sea worlds tanks and all that u know she is right all their animals get treated very nicely but since the movie ''Blackfish" which shows the whales being tourterd is like he or she said is 85% wrong most people think that the collapsed dorsal fins are a sign of depression and sickeness well then their wrong. Sea world has helped manny marine animals and has actually realsed them. I wouldn't be saying all this if it wasn't true. Unfortunately like most people im against animal captivity i do believe that the should be in the wild but it is nice to know that they take care of their animals.
Rosie Scull they are kept in cages 1% the size of their natural habitat, torn away from their family that they would never choose to leave in the wild. Wild whales roam 100 plus miles a day. How can anyone think this is right? They are meant to be wild, us humans just had to interfere and ruin things as usual
Ahem* some things about orcas in captivity (I’ve done a school project on this u. u) 1. They live only about 14 years in captivity- in the wild they usually live to about 60 years 2. The tanks are WAY too small 3. They’re all alone- orcas are one of the most social animals in the ocean 4. Clasped dorsal fins! These are a sign of unhealthy orcas and is not common in the wild, but common in captivity 5. There has never been any recorded orca fatalities in the wild, although in 2013 (I think) there were 4 deaths in captivity. Three of which are done by tilikum.
I find this so astonishing.. If you would imprison humans, forcing them to such a shitty show infront of a gaping mob just to get their food, and impound them in a space similar underseized compared to their needs, whilst giving them an unquestionable physical supremacy enabeling them to literally eat their jailors for breakfast... Well, we all know how this would end, even if an actual escape from the prison is as impossible as it is for the orcas from "seaworld", it won´t take long before the first janitor get´s killed, i would be highly suprised if it take more than a month.. This makes me wonder why Orcas stay so peaceful confronted with such a maltreatment... Rationality? Forethought? better social-skills`?
GachaGirl507 Tilly didn’t kill Keltie Burns, the other orcas, Haida and Nootka, killed her. The tanks are huge, in Orlando, the tank is 7 million gallons for Nalani, Katina, Malia, Trua, and Makaio. Orcas don’t swim hundreds of miles everyday, and if they do, it’s for food. Orcas live longer in captivity. The orcas are never alone, they are always kept in “groups” for example: Amaya, Ulises, and Kalia Even Tilikum, who was usually kept with Taima or Trua.
Your the type of person to go to the zoo and see a bunch of wild animals such as a lone zebra (maybe 2) in an enclosure that usually lives in a pack and travels miles daily and say nothing.. not even a word You’re the type of person to see a seal clap it’s hands and be in awe and giggle. Then five minutes later see an orca breach in the water and go on a rant about how it’s a prison sentence and how cruel it is.... zoos & aquarium zoos are needed to teach/give people the chance to meet animals they will never get the chance to meet. Wild animals in captivity = less people going to the wild to see them and possibly disturb their way of life. These animals are used to this life, most being born in captivity.
These animals don't belong in captivity. This pool could be the size of the park and its still not big enough for them and if you think these whales are happy ,think again. Try this...lock yourself in your bathroom and live there for the rest of your life while people stare and throw food through the window at you while you perform tricks to amuse them. Sound fun to you? You want to see whales? Then go on a whale watching tour,not a theme park.
This is bad have you seen their collapsed fins😥 makes me sad I means I understand they try there best but these animal need to go home to the ocean😓 especially tillikum he needs it, he suffers depression which is sad.
I am so sad people here are defending sea world and waves of Blackfish as lies. I am not on sea worlds side or blackfish side though. I am on the orcas side. As an ethologist the simple question for me is "where would the orca prefer to live?" I think we all deep inside know that answer. I cried watching this movie. Not because of its beauty but because of it's high double morality message this show sends, giving us false feelings of how the orcas are feeling. Believe. Believe in what? Orcas in captivity is a happy orca? For me it is for one day to see all orcas in the wild, where they should be.
When I first went to the San Diego sea world I was only 9years old. Back then I didn’t know how devastating it was put these whales in a limited space and train them in an inhuman way, making the whales do tricks and stuff. I even found the show very entertaining. It wasn’t until I saw videos of how free these whales were in the ocean did I realize how inhuman this show is.
@@stardustfuzz3568 Hahahaha Hahahaha if that’s what you want to believe then carry on being naive. There is plenty of scientific data that proves you easily wrong. Why do people still think they can make things up when a simple google search proves them wrong.......... They take cues from.........the music, the whistles are to get their attention. Simple google it and save yourself the embarrassment in future
@Tim Sorsby man literally when I googled it I saw what the exact frequency of a human compared to a orca and a whistle is a different frequency than a humans voice. Humans usually fall between 0.015 to 20kHz and Orcas’ are between 0.3 to 3.4kHz. And the standard rate for music is 44.1 kHz and I would imagine music would only get higher. I would have appreciated some of the scientific data you were talking about.
Orcas live in pods and never leave their family unit. This business is heartbreaking and tragic. It should be illegal to keep these beautiful and intelligent animals in captivities. Depriving them of food so they will entertain us. If you want to be entertained by these beautiful animals, then take a boat out into the ocean and watch them in their natural environment, in family pods. In this video, you don't get to see them take their babies away from its mother, to be sold to another park for profit. The mother having a nervous breakdown and crying out for her baby. Or the baby crying for its mother. They keep all of that fun for after hours, when the park is closed. Please do not buy a ticket to these parks and encourage this industry to exist….. Have mercy and be a voice for these wonderful animals.
People in favor of SeaWorld and argue and argue and argue that it's right all they want, but that does not change the fact that if these whales were not in captivity, Keltie Byrne, Daniel Dukes, Alexis Martinez, and Dawn Brancheau would still be alive. John Hargrove would not have broken/fractured nearly every bone in his body. Multiple trainers would not be paralyzed for life. After seeing the gruesome results of trying to keep these whales as pets, who can argue it was a good idea?
These animals aren't meant to be kept in captivity. It's sickening that humans take them from their families, their life, and use them to essentially make money. It's cruel. I wish everyone would realize how much these animals need to stay in the wild and not go to these parks so they would not make profit and have to close down.
As you can see at 5:11 in this video the dorsel fin of the orca is floped over.Many people have asked why it's like that the workers there say it affects most of the population of orcas but scientists did a study and found that the floped dorsal fin pretty much only affects orcas in captivity.which I think all orcas should be free and not in captivity and forced dance for people's entertainment.
No sorry it is because it is made of cartilage. For a male killer whale, these can get up to 6-7 feet tall. It happens to killer whales that stay on the surface frequently, which does happen in human care, however there is an excellent NatGeo documentary on Netflix about Orcas out in the ocean (I think it was around Washington, but I can't remember) and the male killer whales out there also had it. They even described the whale as the "bull killer whale with the flopped over dorsal fin."
Have you ever been to sea world before? Or have you just watched black fish. They get fed meals before and after the show. The fish that they feed here are treats.
Meiko Vocaloid live in a tank and do some stupid tricks, you'll really like it because they'll give you some food.... Really? Don't you laugh at yourself?
epic smile if we released the animals, they would not survive, also seaworld looks after the animals and takes care of them also trains the animals too
Ailcandre Dreder3009087 dude first of all they get food if they did tricks? How would you feel with thousands of people watching you all for the tricks in a small pool. When they feel bad.. people drug Theese animals... trainers aren’t biologists. The killer whales are crazy on poools in the ocean they can live up to 100 years but on pools and stuff is up to 13 years. If a female killer whale makes a baby they separate them immideatly.. the space is really small to them to swim and also killer whales have dental problems and they bite the cage
I'm not going to say "oh this is stupid" or the like. It is undeniably spectacular but it is the orcas that make it so, not unnatural circus tricks. It would be so much more breathtaking to see them in the wild, in their pods. Swimming, speaking,hunting. This isn't right, and what is done to keep the orcas in captivity is terrible. If you want to help yhem, donate to an animal rights group, or just get your friends to watch Blackfish or something, sadly, complaining here won't help :(
this is so not right..i saw them in the wild by san juan island in wa..it is so so much better then this..this is gross ..what they do to these whales to keep them in captivity ..to separate them from they r mother is heartbreaking because they are extremely intelligent ..they have their own language ..try to keep a human in captivity for years..it is pure psychological torture..this is so sad so so so sad what they do to these animals.. in order to entertain the public for money and greed? it is so sick
Performing for dead fish is not what they do in the wild! & there are no known attacks from orcas in the wild only captivity...and the don't strand themselves on beaches for attention it happens on accident when they are hunting...dark chocolate you need to educate yourself
I know that there is an argument for Orcas whether they were captured and they are happy with this lifestyle or not , but I feel they are happy with this life, they feel love from people and their trainers and they feel that they are flattered, I'm sure the trainers try to make them feel relieved and feel their love for them . If Orcas died fast in this lifestyle , that doesn't mean that they got depressed but that means trainers didn't care for them well and didn't make them feel their love. Imagine that you live a very simple life in a small village but their people love you and very nice to you , believe me you won't want to leave them and live in a big city where no one takes care of you
While I really don't believe it is right to keep these animals in captivity, I really do feel that the trainers do their best and care about the orcas. Even though trainer Dawn Brancheau died during one of these shows, watching her in this video (especially from 10:16 to 13:25) is simple proof that she died doing what she loved.
They love the animals with all their heart but instead of being selfish they should let them go. We all know it's not right especially the trainers. The Orca would be much happier away from that tank.
drummerlewrocks I think that they're not selfish, I honestly think that the bond between trainer and orca was a lot stronger at that time when the trainers were in the water, but I can see your view points. I don't agree with all captivity but you have to look at it and be honest, it can be a lot worse.

Felipe Hurtado Alvarez ik I get ur point if it’s happy there it can stay if it’s not they take it back they only stay in there for a bit and they don’t live in there that’s just where they do the tricks sea world has a big pool for it
Disgusting, left in a swimming pool for there whole life surrounded by white walls and people banging the glass, no habitat just clear water. Basically a prison.

there treated with so much care and u can see how happy they are, for an example, dogs or cats, theyre domesticated and they sit in there cage and your house. we treat them well, and they wouldnt want to leave if they had the opportunity. did u even watch the vid. there lowkey enjoying thereselves.
@@kennedybeaulieu8313 These poor creatures were not meant for living in tanks there whole lives. I don't blame Tilikum for killing those people at SeaWorld. Those whales at SeaWorld are all stressed out and depressed. These animals should be living in the ocean freely and not in tanks at SeaWorld. Yes, The orca's have killed people at SeaWorld because how stressed they were it's not there fault. Orca's don't kill people in the wild. I think you should watch blackfish because that answer what you said is wrong. And, cats and dogs do live in peoples homes because they are meant to be a house pet they like being around humans and living with them. But a orca is a whole other animal.
I love Sea World💚. IMO it's the same concept as visiting animals refuges, sanctuaries, zoos, aquariums, the circus, or even owning a pet of any kind because ALL animals were naturally wild until humans domesticated them. If you disapprove of Sea World you certainly shouldn't be eating animal meat, eggs, milk, or other byproducts. This is even worse than watching them perform.
imagine living in your bath tub for 30 years, that is what it is like for these orcas, at least at sanctuary's they have bigger enclosers and maintain some dignity, and zoo's aquariums and circus's are just as frowned upon by the public.
liam crawford I get you point that it's not a natural habitat but this goes for any animal living in a human's house(cats), an aquarium(fish), kennel or pet house in the yard(dog) and so forth. All animals were naturally wild until people decided to domesticate them for entertainment or personal ownership. Worse still, imagine eating a steak, a pork chop, chicken wings during super bowl, or a fish sandwich. ...devouring animals is worse than watching them perform. It's all so hypocritical. Seaworld isn't doing any worse than anyone else.
Super Woman first, why the hell would i watch the superbowl, but also eating animals is fine, we are omnivores. But having a pet is completely different, most pet owners allow there pet to go outside and do whatever the hell they want. An aquarium or a zoo is the complete opposite, there they cannot do any of there normal natural habits like hunting. A sanctuary is again diffrent, animals that are bought to them are often injured or for some reason unable to live in in their normal habitat, and the enclosures are alot bigger and the animals are quite often released into the wild. Places, like seaworld a zoo or an aquarium are inhumane and derserved to be shut down as they take away a animals normal lifestyle and shorten there life expectency by over half a lot of the time. Sanctuarys or house pets give a animal the same lifestyle they have in the world for the most part and lengthen a animals life span.
Drowned by tilikum ya right.... She was brutally mutilated. Scalped, spine severed, arm ripped from her shoulder...don't sugarcoat what really happened.
Emma Frost I never blamed Tilikum. I am just stating how it went down. I hold zero blame towards the whale or Dawn. The greedy corporate owners are the one's I blame
2:31 imagine saying believe for that long that just proves to me how they are trying to get us to think that we should feel happy or out of this world seeing this animals perform.
I really wish people would do there research. How many of you have paid to go to a petting zoo, a city zoo anything along the lines where they have animals in cages or habitats of some sort. What happened with the trainer Dawn was a an absolute tragedy, may she rest in peace.I am a firm believer that the individuals that get into this line of work know what these animals are capable of. I have always had the utmost respect for anyone who gets in this type of work. To anyone that currently works or has worked at SeaWorld what you guys do is extremely dangerous and very rewarding at the same time. I know you guys treat your animals with respect and love. Anyway, Do any of you know with absolute certainty, when the last time an orca, killer whale, was taken out of the wild and taken to sea world? Tilikum, the whale that everyone is talking about, was taken out of the wild in 1983. The laws and requirements have changed significantly in the the past 20+ years. I don't know this for a fact, but from what I have found he was the last whale that they have from the wild. With that being said the other whales that were born in captivity, how would releasing them into the wild be responsible when they may not be able to survive in wild at all? Remember for those of you who still have to argue that the animals shouldn't live in captivity. We have learned an astounding amount of information from the zoo's, animal wildlife exhibits and yes SeaWorld. No one is arguing against places like Busch Gardens and city zoo's, remember to fight for all sides not just the side that is most convenient for you. If these places are going to exist, which they always are, I am happy to have it be a place like SeaWorld.
"Do any of you know with absolute certainty, when the last time an orca, killer whale, was taken out of the wild and taken to sea world?" Doesn't change the fact that they still rape the ones already there with false insemination, along with plenty of inbreeding, which very few even survive into adulthood at all if they're not already stillborn. The fact that those past wrongs are now outlawed does NOT change the wrongs they still proceed to do.
I agree 100% with your first paragraph. The second paragraph although a good point needs to be researched a little more. The trainers at Seaworld know what the animals are capable of. They don't just walk into seaworld and get the job. Animal trainers go through college, must have previous experience with animals, initial tests and training, and so much more. They KNOW it's dangerous but it's a passion of theirs and their dream job. I know, even after the supposedly 100% true movie "Blackfish", I want to work at Seaworld as an animal trainer.
It's no good that those critters are such a cup life, either. They don't know how to survive in the sea. Because they are used to living in such a cup!😰💔
@@soetkin_ When Sea World stops breeding orcas, Most likely they will go extinct! Plus the trainers have strong bonds with the orcas and the orcas adore the trainers. They may not adore the tank though.
I remember all this and my dad never liked this kind of shows...he said the wales are under a lot of stress. The animals aren't for our entertainment...they deserve respect for they wildlife.
Percebam que, tem uma baleia que está com problemas, a barbatana dela está caída para o lado direito, e quando elas estão assim significa que elas estão feridas ou até mesmo, doentes'-'
Sim isso é uma verdadera crueldade com as baleias quando a barbatanas delas estão caidas isso significa q alas n estão felizes ou satifeitas com oq eles fazer ou ate mesmo desnutridas essa parque deveria ser fechado tava vendo umas reportagens e deu pra perceber q o ser humano é um ser nojento q só pensa em si próprio!!!
LesPaul2006 This show reminded me why I love these animals and SeaWorld. Blackfish is completely propaganda. It is in fact 85% lies. Most of the "trainers" never even worked at SeaWorld in fact one of the trainers that actually worked at SeaWorld got demoted for kicking an otter. The documentary was made so biased to make it more successful. Dorsal fin collapse is not un healthy for the orcas, it is mainly due to the fact they spend more time up at the surface with their trainers and as there are no bones in the dorsal it droops. It doesn't hurt the orcas in anyway. Orcas are very intelligent animals so they receive lots of different forms of enrichment everyday learning new behaviors for shows is actually very mentally stimulating for them. Also they are not forced to perform. If the orca does not want to do a trick it doesn't do it and that's fine. I've got lots of video evidence of the orcas refusing tricks and the trainers just move on. They are not starved either they are fed three times a day and the food in shows is sort if like an extra treat for them. SeaWorld has not collected orcas from the wild for over 47 years and most of the orcas are still with there mothers. The scene in blackfish where the mother "cries" when her baby is taken away is fake. Katina was opening her mouth on command of a trainer and blackfish added the sounds in. Did you know SeaWorld rescues over 35,000 animals every year including 400 whales and dolphins. These animals are great ambassadors to their species scientists study them each and every day to help save those in the wild. In the wild populations of orcas are near to extinction because of pollution, overfishing, boat traffic ect. They are the orcas we should be worrying about not these well fed orcas in filtered saltwater. It is such a shame to see the company that inspired so many of us to love these beautiful mammals slowly shut down. Hope this cleared a few things up. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask :)
WOW a well educated view point , but only a opinion none the less. the fact remains that vast numbers of people are saying that enough is enough, and sea world is listening to them, they are predominantly a entertainment company first and foremost. lets not make it about how "blackfish" put a negative spin on sea world. in fairness sea world have been putting a positive "spin" on there sea creature "collection" since they first opened. clearly wild animals are better off in the wild, i cant understand how anyone would dare argue differently. Yes sea world do help a number of animals from the wild each year but so do rescue centres etc and they don't make them perform. sea world filled a niche in the market when it first opened but the public mood has changed and they have to do what the paying people want. circuses have also felt the effect of peoples voices so sea world is not on its own. clearly keeping animals in captivity is a negative for the animal in one way or another. i hear so much about how "blackfish" has made sea world change but it shift had started long before the documentary was released. it was in fact a film that started to change peoples perception of captive sea animals "free willy" was the starting point and blackfish was only a catalyst for change. the end result is that sea world is changing its programs and no orcas will be bred in captivity or taken from the sea
It is so hard watching these old videos :/ growing up, we went to Seaworld every summer! I grew up wanting to be a “Shamu trainer”, as I called them. Knowing now that they aren’t in the best conditions breaks my heart… but it sure does bring back beautiful childhood memories to watch both human and orca swim together. *sigh*
@@horse-lover68 they weren’t stolen from the ocean.. 99% of the whales at seaworld are captive bred, and the whales that were captured weren’t captured by seaworld. please do your research ❤
@@etceteracide Yes and from where are their parent's?? There is a government order naming SW by name and ordering them to stop stealing Southern resident orca's. Than they went to Iceland capturing whales.Anyway you know that 99% of Al orca's and dolphins in captivity only live 1/3 of their natural lifespan and that is sientificly proven. So why don't you stop with this greed and let them !I've their life in a SEABAY WITH HUMAN CARE???And pls don't come with that crap that the ocean IS SO dangerous for them.They are still hunting birds in the tanks, most of them are hybrid's that cannot be released, but I think enough of them already died for SW's money.Let them explore a seabay ad feel the ocean not chlorine water. Look at their swollen eye's, eve the video's show that ad their immunsystem is so weak, they did with 20 or 25 year's. In their natural habitat it is male min 60 year's and females min 80 year's. Lolita's mother Ocean sun is 93 year's old!!! You see I did my research!!
Surprising how captivity has made these creatures so docile. These guys are one of the few species in the sea who have been known to hunt and devour the biggest of sharks quite regularly
They have tried & they succeed killing 3 people. Docile would be if you could get in the tank with them. They aren’t docile they’re deadly. Don’t let Disney & Seaworld fool you. It’s fake.
@@elizabethwilliams3813 where’s the proof they were drugged? it would take an insane amount of drugs/tranquilizer etc to drug a 9000 pound plus animal.
Okay look, sea world takes orcas from the sea and puts then in these tanks, that has barely space for them to live, each year they DIE because of how badly they get treated! If they do a trick right they get food but if not..no food, this is a terrible way to treat our beloved orcas! They get forced to do tricks and get hurt easily, SEA LIFE IS TERRIBLE I hope you guys understand... Now we need more people to understand so this cruelty can get shut down! Who’s with me?
@@Zb_Calisthenic It's a poor portrayal of how SeaWorld treats their animals. Look at this video. Look at how much those trainers love those whales. th-cam.com/video/-gkB4eE1KpA/w-d-xo.html
It's so sad to see that their fin is bent over.. Because the killer whales in the wild have straight ones because they are constantly swimming and it keeps their fin healthy( learned from the movie blackfish) and theirs is flopped over because they are kept in captivity and they don't swim that much. :(
Not all captive killer whales have bent fins. Corky II at Seaworld San Diego has a completely straight one and she's lived there for who knows how long (and yes is still alive today)
Quando se é criança vc adora ver essas imagens, sonha em conhecer lugares assim.. mas quando crescemos, percebemos o que havia por trás disso tudo. Exploração acima da liberdade do animal. Lolita está presa em um cubículo, e outras orcas morreram em cativeiro. Nunca mais vi essas apresentações com os mesmos olhos. Sinto tristeza e raiva ao ver esse show de horrores.
+Slerpy Quat I agree with you about activism, marine biology, etc. but I don't agree that the movie misleads. You're entitled to your opinion but so am I and I don't believe any animals should be used for entertainment. Period.
Derp. I dun watched a dockumentairy wuntz so I is smart now. Wat do does stoopid mareen biol..beoloo..... Dumb sziontists know anyhow. Bet dey din watch no dockumenarys wen dey was skool!!
+Kairielise you know the trainers at sea world are performers, not marine biologists right? they dont even know what they're dealing with and can seriously hurt themselves. im worried about people getting hurt. and the whales.
Did u know wild orcas when they hunt pup sea lions ashore they toy and hurt the pup along with their calfs before killing them and eating them? I guess cruelty doesn't just exist in humanity
+Bt Dubzz Documentaries aren't "fake". The whole purpose of a documentary is that it is factual. How do you think the movie has been so successful if it was "fake"? If it was "fake" we would've heard of it by now by authorities who actually know what they're talking about.
***** In what way? That these animals aren't suffering?...Cause they are, even if they got treated like freakin' royalty they would still be hurting, emotionally; mentally. By the way, I haven't even watched Blackfish so I wouldn't know personally whether it's "fake" or not. All I know is that these animals are suffering and I want to help them, and Blackfish seems to be helping. "Fake" or not people are starting to realize the true horror of these animals' lives and actually are making an effort to make them better, because of Blackfish. Also, I like the pun you did there...very punny, must I say so myself.
To bad they take these orcas out of there natural habitat and train them just to entertain humans.. they can barely keep these beautiful wild (key word wild) creatures alive. They aren't here for our entertainment or amusement .. they do not need to live in cages they need to live in the sea where they belong
Yeah but capturing animals from the wild was an old method now the rescued animals that cannot return to the wild because of injury are the ones who are living in captivity and/or doing tricks
+DJ Kenny Even so, they should be in a much larger enclosure and not be forced to entertain people in order to get food, fine save the animals but don't make them into an act to entertain people.
they dont perform to get food though... only places like sealand of the pacific, with their poor training techniques did that and John hargove in black fish said himself that they didn't starve the orcas
But the reward for doing tricks is to get food therefore while they may be fed outside of the show they do still perform to get food and not because they like entertaining humans.
The trainers no longer go in the water now and once all the orcas they have pass away they will no longer be getting anymore. I guess they won't let the ones the have go now because they are Afraid they won't be able to handle the wild
I don't agree with cetaceans or any animal being in captivity. For humans is beautiful to see but we don't realise the anxiety these beings go through without their families from the oceans just for our entertainment. :-(
I don't agree with Captivity either, but most of the Animals in SeaWorld are Captive born. in this Video, only three of the whales where captured (Kasatka, Ulises, Corky) of course they go through large amounts of stress and anxiety during these captures, but we can't exactly throw them back in the ocean.
Lillan Stark es geht ihn auch nicht gut weil die ihn verhungern lassen wenn er nicht bei der Show gut mitmacht und er braucht doch den ganzen Ozean um gut zu leben aber dort ist er in einem 20m langen Aquarium der villeicht 10 oder 5m tief ist und das reicht nicht aus dann sagen die Menschen das das Killerwale sind weil die Wale essen und Menschen aber die fühlen sich doch bedroht weil die so behandelt werden wie eine Stück scheisse😱😱😂🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🥺🥺🥺
Lillan Stark leider sind die Menschen so blöd und wenn die Orkas Menschen töten würden wäre es nicht schlimm weil wir Menschen töten Schweine Fische Hühner usw und das ist etwa nicht schlimm🤬🤬🤬🤬 aber wenn die Tiere einen Mensch töten dann ist es etwa so schlimm als wäre der nächste Welt krieg kommen
Und die orcas da kriegen auch Drogen untergejubelt damit sie nicht aggressiv sind , da die orcas ja in solchen Tanks aggressiv werden weil sie so gut wie Null Platz haben ... schon schade das so viele Menschen zu solchen Shows gehen 😔
It's disgusting that they thought they could take these amazing creatures steal them from their beautiful home and then put them in these tiny little pools and make them work furthermore to think that humans could swim around with them safely is ridiculous
Esse "treinadores" realmente n tem coração as orcas estão feridas doentes e infelizes dentro desse aquario, umas da orcas está com a barbatana dobrada isso quer dizer que ela está doente ou msm machucada
SEAWORLD HAVE TO GO UNDER! LET THE BEAUTIFUL ANIMALS FEEL FREE IN THE OCEAN! THEY DON'T LIKE THIS! THE SPACE WHAT THEY HAVE IS NOTHING TO THE OCEAN! THEY HAVE MAYBE 10 METERS BUT THE OCEAN HAVE 100.000.000 METERS... Everyone who like THIS has no heart and hate animals😔💔 stop visit seaworlds or sealifes or other places like the zoo or circus. Don't visit places with animals😶 They aren't happy😖
there are several tanks and a lot more than 10 meters for these animals to swim. i love cetaceans and animals in general but boycotting SeaWorld simply makes you stupid. how do you know what these whales are feeling? go google Lolita the Orca and shut up about how SeaWorld's tanks are Bathtubs.
I loved being able to be with one of these animals but to see how depressive they are and so badly treated the only thing I feel is the desire to cry 😢😭
The mammals are cared for, they are rescued from the wild because of injuries or incapabilities to survive. They are fed and cleaned. Yes, they don’t have a lot of space to live but I’m sure they are happier now to be healthy animals then to be a free meal for what lurks in the ocean because of there health state. The animal abuse was a thing when sea creature captivity first was introduced to the world. They didn’t know how to get the animals to do what they wanted. Nowadays, they train the orca’s by giving rewards, which can be seen throughout the video. Stop hopping on the bandwagon of freeing captive orca’s, your comment won’t change anything.
They are treated FINE there certain standards a company as large as SeaWorld must obtain to be able to legally keep these animals, they must be at optimal health. If we’re going to boycott SeaWorld then we better shut down aquariums and zoos too! Both obtain wild animals for our pleasure right? People will see a video of an elephant in a pen and won’t say nothing but they’ll see a whale in an enclosure and will flip!
Animal cruelty. These animals should be in a protected environment where they can live life to the fullest. Not being endlessly trained and forced into doing tricks and shows. 👿🙈😭😖
@@chxmicalkid look at a wild orca and there fins are fine, but when you look at the whales fins when they are in captivity they are almost always drooping. In killer whales this is a sign of depression
I feel we should go to THEM, maybe a woodern platform that goes deeper into the sea with some seats and music. So it's all free ( or a floating boat /platform) And it would be the whales choice.
This is absolutely horrific Sea world abuse their sea creatures its beyond irresponsible they even live half the age their suppose to live. They show bizarre behavior which is bc of the barren tanks which leads to boredom also I have seen mothers neglecting their children bc they are so depressed. Sea world has definitely left an impact on me when I found out they separate mothers from their own children and mostly don't send the aquatic creatures back to the wild. It sickens me when they are supposed to specialize in marine animals but they are basically abusing and torturing them. I am a young 12 year old girl and I still can't believe that any industry does this to animals. I hope this changed your mind and inspire you to tell others about this horrific things. If you still don't trust me search it. If possible put this in perspective a 12 year old girl even thinks this is harmful that aquatic marines or getting abused.
Actually, the orcas at seaworld often live longer than the average age in the wild. According to my guide to Whales, Dolphins and Porpoises, the average age for males is 29, and the average age for females is 50. SeaWorlds oldest male is 39, and its oldest female is 51.
+Emaline Hathcock Hah... good joke. Orca in the wild live longer than their captive siblings. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captive_killer_whales#Disease_and_lifespan
This makes me laugh b/c I think you switched the ages b/c there is no way you could live longer in a place where you are confined to a small place with barely any entertainments (toys) or possibly food.

Traurig, dass die Menschen solche Veranstaltungen besuchen und nicht sehen wie viel Leid es den Tieren bereitet. 😒😪 Diese Tiere gehören in die Freiheit, ins Meer!!!
Please educate your self about these shows.. This is animal cruelty at its finest, watch the blackfish documentary or othet videos like that to find out what these poor animals are going trought every day. Seaworld should be closed forever...
I am so ashamed....i went there when i was a kid and i was like "oh Look mummy those cute Wales they Love to Jump and Wave with their flips"...well now i know it better. I feel so sorry for them beeing in this Little Pool which Is not even 1% of the area they swim through in one day when they are not in captivity, put together with other Wales from different clans ....they probably don't even understand each other. Screw sea Word and These people which just looking forward to make more and more Money. I Will Never Support you again! And i would beg every one who wants to go there to think about it that way: Do i really think that it is fair to capture Young whales, put them into a bathtub, make them pregnant just to take their Babies away to sell them to other Parks, and make them Look like clowns just that i can have 15 minutes of fun?
I sort of agree with you but they aren't taken away from there home (ocean) see, if you do some research you can figure out that they took the very first whale from a rehabilitation because it got injured and would not be able to survive on its own they brought it to seaworld and its making babies that are now raised to know that there is no difference because it was never in the ocean so if they would ever bring them back into the ocean it would do more damage then you already (think) they are doing. My life long dream is to train these magnificent animals and I have been doing a ton of research so if you have any questions just ask :)
***** but that's nature, you know? Some die, some survive. Sorry, but that's the reality. It's very great when human help animals but they can't help everyone. And if you help these animals why doing a show with them? In this little tanks? Why? I'm so sorry for my english i am from Germany:) I don't want to be rude, but I just don't know why people do this. Maybe you can help...
+Kim B. The show is to get a revenue from it so they can take care of the other animals, and save other animals. Thats the same reason why they have roller coasters, so they can get more revenue. Its a simple business tactic, its just seaworld is the first to use it for good. And good job on your English Ma'am maybe you could teach us some german words. But i like that you commented, it made me realize that people outside of America worry or are interested in this type of stuff too. I'm on Seaworlds side not against seaworld. So if you have any questions ill be glad to answer them. :P
So Absolutely fabulous and tragic at the same time, how is it even possible to train these magnificent creatures to do this, but so sad they have to live like this,
i remember enjoying that show 10years ago, but these days i feel very sorry for whales. They belong to the sea. SeaWorld is so small for them. is SeaWorld keeping this show?
I often think about Shamu, Corky and Lolita. Shamu was a Southern Resident from J pod. She was captured in 1965 in Puget Sound, Washington. Her mother was harpooned and killed in front of her. Shamu died in 1975 at SeaWorld San Diego.
Corky is the oldest orca in captivity. She was captured in 1969 in Pender Harbour, British Columbia. She is from the A5 pod, A23 matriline. Her mother was A23 Stripe. Corky still has family in the wild - sister Ripple, brother Fife, niece Midsummer, great-nephews Fern and Ne'nakw, and great-niece Eliot. Corky lives at SW San Diego.
Lolita was captured in 1970 in Puget Sound, Washington. She is a Southern Resident and member of the L pod. Her mother is L25 Ocean Sun (estimated to be 93 years old). Lolita lives in the smallest orca tank in the world at the Miami Seaquarium.
So sad .... however I appreciate your knowledge of these beautiful creatures to inform us of what we don't know. I thank you 💕
Is Tilikum related to them?
@@bajorekjon I don't think so,but he already dead 😢poor Tili ,he was a victim of Humans greed😢
Killer whales swim between 100 and 300 miles a day. It breaks my heart to see them confined to these concrete pools. Let orcas go!! Boycott seaworld
Sally Green they have access to the showpool and backstage pools. Trainers give them toys,treats,rubs, and care.
Poor poor animals
DON' T BUY A TICKET
Sally Green: Yeah sure, let’s release the orcas into the wild where they have no idea how to defend themselves, or hunt! And let’s let them survive on their own WITHOUT a pod to help them so they can be alone and scared for the rest of their lives in the wild, orcas are VERY social animals. These orcas would die within a couple days of being released. Do some research BEFORE you comment
Yellow Pearl swag jesus, a person who is smart (finally)
Yellow Pearl swag ok they get stressed. Some even prescribe medication to these whales so they don’t feel anxious. They cant survive out in the wild due to some things humans do to them.
Education should be given to others about how Orca's live in the wild, not how they perform tricks in shows. There is no natural behavior of an Orca during these performances. It's no better than a circus.
Brittney Hernandez Preach it!
Brittney Hernandez *behaviours
Sorry, that's not how it's spelled. It's behavior. In America, at least.
Behaviour is the british english word which most of the world is using - theres alot of these small differences - like color/colour
True, but depending on what country you live in, it could either be spelled correctly, to you, or incorrectly to someone else. So it's neither correct nor incorrect.
Kidnapped away from their family and homes, forced to perform tricks for food in a tank, abused until they die lonely. One can only try to grasp what these beautiful souls are put through in the name of human entertainment. R. I. P. Tillikum, you are free now 🐾
@Timothy O'Mara half of that statement is true. while many of their whales are captive raised, there are still several adults who come from the wild. Sea World is not a zoo or an aquarium it is an amusement park.
@Timothy O'Mara yes now currently. but some of those animals are thirty or forty years old. back then it was typical to catch all manner of animals.
@Timothy O'Mara Bullshit .. this amazing animal need a ocean and not a little jail ...
@@creedmvwyour an animal yet you live in a house . So shut it .
They rescue them no kidnapped away from her family
When I was young, I dreamed of being an orca trainer at sea world. Now I dream of being a scientist who studies orcas in the wild, where they belong.
20 years in the dream world, not a peep outside. You compromised. You wanted to study orcas. You compromised. You slaved at your 9 to 5 job instead. You wanted fresh tuna. You compromised. You ate canned tuna off the radiator instead.
Corky has been in captivity since 1969. She is a Northern Resident from the A5 pod, A23 matriline.
So touch you change your dream
I don't know why, every time when I see this video, I feel how bad the humans are. Very intelligent poor things play in glass tank to satisfy us.
SLAVES. namasté
@Tư Bùi Orca's in captivity have no choice ,no space.No humans hunt thems for food. educate the right thing. play a good dokumentary about Orca's instead.
Very funny. If you feel that, you should send your pet back to nature. pet dog was tamed by human needs.
Nuwan RAJAKARUNA KOTUWEGE would u say the same thing seeing a video of a elephant in a zoo thooo??
NO! Exactly it’s just a water zoo
singer2be EXACTLY!! Yeah they aren’t in their natural habitat but the training helps stimulate them and the trainers spend all day with them, each trainer has a main whale they train and keep entertained and that’s very important for these very smart animals.
blackfish totally changed my outlook on seaworld. look at that poor whale’s collapsed dorsal fin..
Julia Starr thats normal. When orcas do training there dorsal fins collapse, because it has no bone structure. So water pressure or “gravity” makes it bend.
@@chxmicalkid please,SHUT UP with your Nonsens!!!
@@chxmicalkid No. That's not normal you have to see the documentary blackfish and do researsh (real like scientifique and not explain by a marine park) before to say bullshit
@@FancyLily Considering you spell research and scientific like that, I don't think you know what you are talking about.
Julia Starr they were saved from bad accidents in the ocean
It's heart breaking to see such fantastic creatures confined to such small tanks. Release them in the ocean. That's where they belong
you cant release them, there domesticated and cant hunt, there treated with so much care and u can see how happy they are, for an example, dogs or cats, theyre domesticated and they sit in there cage and your house. we treat them well, and they wouldnt want to leave if they had the opportunity.
@@kennedybeaulieu8313 dogs and cats are not a killer whales, dogs and cats most of the time can run free in the owners backyards, killer whales can only do the same thing every day in small tanks, why do you think a lot of them are most likely depressed and with a really short lifespan? They are not having fun.
@@kennedybeaulieu8313 they’re treated with so much care? you must not see how big they are & how small of a tank they’re in. so much care that in order to be fed they must do as they’re told. these creatures deserve to be free in the oceans where they have plenary of space to swim.
@@sayraguzman8962 I dont agree with seaworld but I think they get fed anyways if they only got fed when they did tricks they would be dead.
@@Poem_Harbor if u don't know please shut up .
How can earth have so many nonsense and heartless humans like you!!
You would not accept any researcher
You would not hear of NGOs
But you would just believe what is apparent and what these SeaWorld like organisations say
I grew up 30 minutes or so from the now closed Sea World of Ohio. I had the opportunity to go every year or so growing up. I learned to love and respect these smart and amazing animals. The problem is such a complex one with no easy or simply solution. To all of those who say we need to boycott Sea World, I have to say that essentially cuts the funding to the orcas. Like it or not it's true. Most of the orcas in captivity now were born in captivity and as sad as it is don't know any difference. Cutting the shows also cuts off a big portion of the mental stimulation. So... Getting rid of the shows doesn't fix anything. It makes someone somewhere feel better about themselves. If it were not for Sea World a lot less people would be aware of this amazing animal. I have since been able to see them free in the Pacific Ocean and was amazed all over again. I feel Sea World decision to stop breeding the animals was a good one. As for what to do with all of the orcas in captivity I'm not sure of the right, best or even a good answer is. I just want the best for them. Some of the ideas I heard are just ignorant. I do know there is no simply or easy answer to fix the problem.
+DamionJR4923 I grew up near sw ohio too (even worked there). working there was an eye opener that's for sure. At that point i was really uncomfortable with captivity but still so in love with the animals i ignored that voice telling me it's just wrong. SW lies. They have tons of cash...by not going to SW it's not going to hurt the whales, but it will hurt SW's bottom line. I'm so glad they have ended the breeding program too, but I don't trust them and I bet they are trying to figure something else out that...I don't know what that thing is, but it will be for the benefit of SW not the orcas. There have been some crazy ideas, but also some good ones that I think are workable and SW could still even make money, just not as much as they used to.
its amazing how smart these animals are but it makes me just as sad knowing how mistreated they are in there
To see these beautiful animals in tiny tanks like that, compared to the oceans, is abhorrent!
Someone googled synonyms for disgusting.
The Problem is, at this point they're so domesticated that they cannot survive in the open sea.
No BUT they can be retired to sea sanctuaries where they can live their last years in their natural habitat, they've made SW enough cash, a retirement is the very least they deserve.
there treated with so much care and u can see how happy they are, for an example, dogs or cats, theyre domesticated and they sit in there cage and your house. we treat them well, and they wouldnt want to leave if they had the opportunity. did u even watch the vid. there lowkey enjoying thereselves. your dog cant go hunt like it used to, but its not sad.
@@cBearTV- exactly right. They did it for Keiko the whale that played Willy in free Willy in 1995 & 1996 and by 1997, he was transferred to the Oregon cost aquarium and was then transferred to Iceland a year later.

Makes me wanna cry..........how organized these animals are in this show. They could be out in the wild living freely with their families, happy, but they're stuck here instead; forced to preform for other people to earn seaworld their millions. And what do they get in return? Mistreatment, stress, little space to roam in and no sense of freedom. Sad how all of the whales see this as a way of life and yet dont have the slightest idea of real freedom and living.
Kimmy _G This show reminded me why I love these animals and SeaWorld. Blackfish is completely propaganda. It is in fact 85% lies. Most of the "trainers" never even worked at SeaWorld in fact one of the trainers that actually worked at SeaWorld got demoted for kicking an otter. The documentary was made so biased to make it more successful. Dorsal fin collapse is not un healthy for the orcas, it is mainly due to the fact they spend more time up at the surface with their trainers and as there are no bones in the dorsal it droops. It doesn't hurt the orcas in anyway. Orcas are very intelligent animals so they receive lots of different forms of enrichment everyday learning new behaviors for shows is actually very mentally stimulating for them. Also they are not forced to perform. If the orca does not want to do a trick it doesn't do it and that's fine. I've got lots of video evidence of the orcas refusing tricks and the trainers just move on. They are not starved either they are fed three times a day and the food in shows is sort if like an extra treat for them. SeaWorld has not collected orcas from the wild for over 47 years and most of the orcas are still with there mothers. The scene in blackfish where the mother "cries" when her baby is taken away is fake. Katina was opening her mouth on command of a trainer and blackfish added the sounds in. Did you know SeaWorld rescues over 35,000 animals every year including 400 whales and dolphins. These animals are great ambassadors to their species scientists study them each and every day to help save those in the wild. In the wild populations of orcas are near to extinction because of pollution, overfishing, boat traffic ect. They are the orcas we should be worrying about not these well fed orcas in filtered saltwater. It is such a shame to see the company that inspired so many of us to love these beautiful mammals slowly shut down. Hope this cleared a few things up. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask :)
Kimmy _G sounds like your talking about us average Americans living under Obamas government control.
Thank GOD for President Trump who is trying to free us. But he can't do it alone... He needs our help too help ourselves.
Kimmy _G IKR! THEY EVEN GET SUNBURN IN SHALLOW WATER
AND......tilikum, one of the largest orcas, killed his trainer,,,lol
Kimmy _G actually they have agreed to not take anymore orcas in and they did not realize what they were doing was wrong and they were not ripped from their familys they were rescued and get the care they need, blackfish is 85% incorrect and SeaWorld does so many good things
It really is sad seeing these Beautiful animals go through this
hosebeelion lol theyre probably dead by now. Plus u shouldve acted all heartwarming and boycott like years ago. sea worlds stopping the orca things. Do ur reasearch
go through what? they chillin mac
Then don't watch it idiot.
It is really sad and people are so blind to see their suffering. They belong in the ocean and not in a pool for our entertainment.
yes, free food, unlimited love and attention, and constant enrichment is so sad.... what a terrible thing to go through
DONT SUPPORT SEA WORLD LEAVE KILLER WHALES ALONE
THANK YOU FOR BEING INFORMED! This god damn sea world 🤮
Ik I get ur point but after a while they take it back and it’s happy there as long as it’s happy and it’s for doing tricks.. if it’s happy and can stay if it’s not they take it bacj
Calm down keyboard warriors, tho the last one isn’t bad
Oh shut up if the animals didn't like it they wouldn't do it. So shut up hater
yo pops should have left yo momma alone
THIS AMAZING ANIMAL DESERVE TO BE FREE !
@Ethan Hunter yeah but at least on a farm there given a good place to live with enough land that's why I disapprove of of sea world and slaughter houses if your going to eat an animal give it a decent life
@Ethan Hunter the difference is, these animals were stolen.. They belong to nobody. And the animals we eat don't have to perform. I know terrible things are happening in slaughter houses and so on, but we have to start somewhere. And as I mentioned, the orcas got kidnapped. To make money
Oh give it a rest with the tree hugging bs
Ik I am VEGANNN and also I agree killer whales should be FREE
Totally agree with u 100%, these are magnificent creatures that deserve to live free lives in the oceans of the world, instead they are used to entertain humans, they are treated extremely well at Seaworld but they still should be free!!!

While I truly think that keeping orcas in captivity is cruel and that they in no way can satisfy their natural needs in this environment, I still find it very fascinating to watch these incredibly smart animals perform. It is crazy how they can learn so much.
these animals are gorgeous and so clever, to be able to do all of that, being as big as they are , it's amazing. I do think though that they shouldn't be in the tanks , because they're TINY...and they shouldn't have been made to perform. It's good that now though most seaworld parks have/ are stopping the shows , wish could see one though, they're stunning.
olivia cross they’re forced to do it which is kinda sad 😕
Do you know what an orca feels? Are you an orca?
@@seancrowley241 why , how did you know? i transform into a whale every other wednesday
@Shamu Stadium hmmph i think all sealife should be where theyy belong in the wild not in a concrete box with no coral no live fish no sand no nothing and forced to do tricks the rest of there lives poor things how would you feel about that hmm?
@Shamu Stadium uhh ya right like sean crowley said your not a orca you dont know how it feels to be taken away from your home and forced to do tricks for the rest of your life.
Imagine how stressed out these orcas are.
Swimming with people on his nose, on his back n stomach.
Just swimming around afterwards and do nothing but bust their heads into the wall(bc alot of them do that:(
Shamu Stadium it amazes me that you can come on here and try and preach that these animals live in good surroundings and are looked after. I mean come on, they are animals kept in giant swimming pools!!! You can try all you like to claim they are healthy and live a good life but all you are doing is fooling yourself. The world has woken up animal treatment and even seaworld has admitted its failings and are slowly ensuring animal welfare comes before everything else. You are a dying breed who thinks animal entertainment comes before animal rights. Bore off and wake up
Shamu Stadium although blackfish may not be 100% accurate, it was the tipping point for millions of people, it opened their eyes to what really happens. In a lot of countries circuses are banned from using animals and so should aqua parks like sea world. “These animals inspire millions of people” that’s because these animals have no choice!! How anyone can believe using these animals, kept in jumped up large fish tanks is for the greater good needs their head examining.
@Shamu Stadium "@Nicolas Moller Absolutely not! All trainers are formed in marine biology or animal psicology." Is Animal psicology a new field? or are they graduating those who cant properly spell their own arena of study these days? As taken from their own website "For SeaWorld, a college degree is not required to be eligible for an animal training position, but it is preferred."
As for pools? www.seaworldofhurt.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/orca-bar-graph-2.jpg

Look at their fins flopped over to the side, which is a sign of sickness or depression in orcas. This is so sad to watch.

Rosie Scull you should have explained what he ask not just copy pasta your comment to every section.
the fin being flopped over is not a sign of depression, but it is a common mistake to make, as it is what we used to believe. we've discovered that it is because when a whale spends large amounts of time at the surface of the water, or an area with low currents, with fin has no support so droops. i hope this helped you! :)
That's the point - they are never able to swim where they were designed to swim... Being stuck at the surface in a small space, not experiencing those depths or currents, is the same as putting them in jail with strangers when they are tight knit, strong families in the wild.
i agree on most of what you said. I don't think 'jail' is the appropriate term for SeaWorld. other companies, yes. SeaWorld, not now. the tanks are small, yes. but they get healthcare and food. I don't agree with Captivity in most cases, but None of SeaWorld's orcas can be released, and it's the best facility in the world. so they can't really go anywhere else without being in a worse spot then they are now. and the SeaWorld 'pods' have become tight knit family groups SeaWorld Orlando, for example. Katina, the matriarch is one of the 3 wild caught orcas left in Seaworlds parks. she is the mother of Nalani and Makaio. Tilikum who used to be the 'bull' of the pod, fathered Makaio, Malia and was a grandfather (but acted like a father) to Trua. Kayla sometimes acts as a surrogate mother to Trua. it's a bit of a twisted pod, but they all acted like most pods would out in the wild. the San Anonio pod is pretty much a tiny wild pod, just in captivity. Takara, the matriarch, is mother to Sakari and Kamea. the other two males, Tuar and Kyuquot and brother and very close. most of SeaWorlds whales don't know what the ocean is.
I miss believe. Dawn was on tili preforming far greater. They had such a beautiful bond together! Dawn was such a kind trainer. Now look at the whales, they have beautiful trainers trying there best to help these animals cope with captivity. They give them love,rubs,treats, and toys! The shows are just activities for these creatures. Please, dont blame the trainers for the pools, blame the owners. They made the place anyways.
This wasn’t Dawn or Tili, this was seaworld san diego they were both at Orlando!
its so beautiful
Bro
Blame the customers who want to be entertained by the owners. If there are no customers there would be no show.
Blame the people for attending to these shows.
that pool is tiny
and that dorsal fin breaks my heart
I have to admit this is amazing. But it is so sad at the same time.
Ye, it is amazing to see these killer whales in action but at the end of the day it is cruel.

Rosie Scull legit every comment reply I've clicked on has you on it with the same message over and over😂😂 BTW I disagree with you
Rosie Scull if y'all acutally new what happend in sea worlds tanks and all that u know she is right all their animals get treated very nicely but since the movie ''Blackfish" which shows the whales being tourterd is like he or she said is 85% wrong most people think that the collapsed dorsal fins are a sign of depression and sickeness well then their wrong. Sea world has helped manny marine animals and has actually realsed them. I wouldn't be saying all this if it wasn't true. Unfortunately like most people im against animal captivity i do believe that the should be in the wild but it is nice to know that they take care of their animals.
Rosie Scull they are kept in cages 1% the size of their natural habitat, torn away from their family that they would never choose to leave in the wild. Wild whales roam 100 plus miles a day. How can anyone think this is right? They are meant to be wild, us humans just had to interfere and ruin things as usual
Ahem* some things about orcas in captivity (I’ve done a school project on this u. u)
1. They live only about 14 years in captivity- in the wild they usually live to about 60 years
2. The tanks are WAY too small
3. They’re all alone- orcas are one of the most social animals in the ocean
4. Clasped dorsal fins! These are a sign of unhealthy orcas and is not common in the wild, but common in captivity
5. There has never been any recorded orca fatalities in the wild, although in 2013 (I think) there were 4 deaths in captivity. Three of which are done by tilikum.
I find this so astonishing..
If you would imprison humans, forcing them to such a shitty show infront of a gaping mob just to get their food, and impound them in a space similar underseized compared to their needs, whilst giving them an unquestionable physical supremacy enabeling them to literally eat their jailors for breakfast... Well, we all know how this would end, even if an actual escape from the prison is as impossible as it is for the orcas from "seaworld", it won´t take long before the first janitor get´s killed, i would be highly suprised if it take more than a month..
This makes me wonder why Orcas stay so peaceful confronted with such a maltreatment... Rationality? Forethought? better social-skills`?
GachaGirl507 Tilly didn’t kill Keltie Burns, the other orcas, Haida and Nootka, killed her.
The tanks are huge, in Orlando, the tank is 7 million gallons for Nalani, Katina, Malia, Trua, and Makaio. Orcas don’t swim hundreds of miles everyday, and if they do, it’s for food.
Orcas live longer in captivity.
The orcas are never alone, they are always kept in “groups” for example: Amaya, Ulises, and Kalia
Even Tilikum, who was usually kept with Taima or Trua.
kshamenkwaves my god you’re just spewing nonsense
This is like doing a prison sentence for these whales
Some might like it and some might not tho
Jalen Robinson no
That they don't deserve!
Your the type of person to go to the zoo and see a bunch of wild animals such as a lone zebra (maybe 2) in an enclosure that usually lives in a pack and travels miles daily and say nothing.. not even a word
You’re the type of person to see a seal clap it’s hands and be in awe and giggle. Then five minutes later see an orca breach in the water and go on a rant about how it’s a prison sentence and how cruel it is.... zoos & aquarium zoos are needed to teach/give people the chance to meet animals they will never get the chance to meet.
Wild animals in captivity = less people going to the wild to see them and possibly disturb their way of life. These animals are used to this life, most being born in captivity.
And how cruel to send them to prison when they have done nothing wrong... @@Isa-cr7fd
"FREE WILLY"
These animals don't belong in captivity. This pool could be the size of the park and its still not big enough for them and if you think these whales are happy ,think again. Try this...lock yourself in your bathroom and live there for the rest of your life while people stare and throw food through the window at you while you perform tricks to amuse them. Sound fun to you? You want to see whales? Then go on a whale watching tour,not a theme park.
This is bad have you seen their collapsed fins😥 makes me sad I means I understand they try there best but these animal need to go home to the ocean😓 especially tillikum he needs it, he suffers depression which is sad.
I am so sad people here are defending sea world and waves of Blackfish as lies. I am not on sea worlds side or blackfish side though. I am on the orcas side. As an ethologist the simple question for me is "where would the orca prefer to live?" I think we all deep inside know that answer. I cried watching this movie. Not because of its beauty but because of it's high double morality message this show sends, giving us false feelings of how the orcas are feeling. Believe. Believe in what? Orcas in captivity is a happy orca? For me it is for one day to see all orcas in the wild, where they should be.
They belong in the ocean.
When I first went to the San Diego sea world I was only 9years old. Back then I didn’t know how devastating it was put these whales in a limited space and train them in an inhuman way, making the whales do tricks and stuff. I even found the show very entertaining. It wasn’t until I saw videos of how free these whales were in the ocean did I realize how inhuman this show is.
that loud music can't be comfortable for those poor animals...
They don’t hear the music it is on a different frequency than our hearing
@@stardustfuzz3568 Hahahaha Hahahaha if that’s what you want to believe then carry on being naive. There is plenty of scientific data that proves you easily wrong. Why do people still think they can make things up when a simple google search proves them wrong..........
They take cues from.........the music, the whistles are to get their attention. Simple google it and save yourself the embarrassment in future
@Tim Sorsby man literally when I googled it I saw what the exact frequency of a human compared to a orca and a whistle is a different frequency than a humans voice. Humans usually fall between 0.015 to 20kHz and Orcas’ are between 0.3 to 3.4kHz. And the standard rate for music is 44.1 kHz and I would imagine music would only get higher. I would have appreciated some of the scientific data you were talking about.

Orcas live in pods and never leave their family unit. This business is heartbreaking and tragic. It should be illegal to keep these beautiful and intelligent animals in captivities. Depriving them of food so they will entertain us. If you want to be entertained by these beautiful animals, then take a boat out into the ocean and watch them in their natural environment, in family pods. In this video, you don't get to see them take their babies away from its mother, to be sold to another park for profit. The mother having a nervous breakdown and crying out for her baby. Or the baby crying for its mother. They keep all of that fun for after hours, when the park is closed. Please do not buy a ticket to these parks and encourage this industry to exist….. Have mercy and be a voice for these wonderful animals.
People in favor of SeaWorld and argue and argue and argue that it's right all they want, but that does not change the fact that if these whales were not in captivity, Keltie Byrne, Daniel Dukes, Alexis Martinez, and Dawn Brancheau would still be alive. John Hargrove would not have broken/fractured nearly every bone in his body. Multiple trainers would not be paralyzed for life. After seeing the gruesome results of trying to keep these whales as pets, who can argue it was a good idea?

I’d prefer seeing them and taking pictures of them out in the wild. Not in some controlled environment.
Borderlands808 what about zoos then? They do the same thing yet no ones complaining about an elephant in a pen????
A K they do.....only not if it’s a sanctuary where they save elephants or any other abused animals, read up/ learn about tyke
I’m not against it at all so you should just stop
I prefer to seeing wild orcas and learning how we can save them from extinction.
They were almost all born there so it’s not like they can just release them. Do your research before white knighting.
These animals aren't meant to be kept in captivity. It's sickening that humans take them from their families, their life, and use them to essentially make money. It's cruel. I wish everyone would realize how much these animals need to stay in the wild and not go to these parks so they would not make profit and have to close down.
As you can see at 5:11 in this video the dorsel fin of the orca is floped over.Many people have asked why it's like that the workers there say it affects most of the population of orcas but scientists did a study and found that the floped dorsal fin pretty much only affects orcas in captivity.which I think all orcas should be free and not in captivity and forced dance for people's entertainment.
No sorry it is because it is made of cartilage. For a male killer whale, these can get up to 6-7 feet tall. It happens to killer whales that stay on the surface frequently, which does happen in human care, however there is an excellent NatGeo documentary on Netflix about Orcas out in the ocean (I think it was around Washington, but I can't remember) and the male killer whales out there also had it. They even described the whale as the "bull killer whale with the flopped over dorsal fin."
Have you ever been to sea world before? Or have you just watched black fish. They get fed meals before and after the show. The fish that they feed here are treats.
There are orcas in the wild with floped dorsal fins look it up
candace whited are you really justifying those bastards?

The killer whales are crazy on poools in the ocean they can live up to 100 years but on pools and stuff is up to 13 years. If a female killer whale makes a baby they separate them immideatly.. the space is really small to them to swim and also killer whales have dental problems and they bite the cage
Easy for you to say.The trainers can’t get too close t9 the whales because they can attack them
Hannah Gilley there’s always a reason it’s called “killer whale”
I'm not going to say "oh this is stupid" or the like. It is undeniably spectacular but it is the orcas that make it so, not unnatural circus tricks. It would be so much more breathtaking to see them in the wild, in their pods. Swimming, speaking,hunting. This isn't right, and what is done to keep the orcas in captivity is terrible. If you want to help yhem, donate to an animal rights group, or just get your friends to watch Blackfish or something, sadly, complaining here won't help :(
this is so not right..i saw them in the wild by san juan island in wa..it is so so much better then this..this is gross ..what they do to these whales to keep them in captivity ..to separate them from they r mother is heartbreaking because they are extremely intelligent ..they have their own language ..try to keep a human in captivity for years..it is pure psychological torture..this is so sad so so so sad what they do to these animals.. in order to entertain the public for money and greed? it is so sick

Performing for dead fish is not what they do in the wild! & there are no known attacks from orcas in the wild only captivity...and the don't strand themselves on beaches for attention it happens on accident when they are hunting...dark chocolate you need to educate yourself
I know that there is an argument for Orcas whether they were captured and they are happy with this lifestyle or not , but I feel they are happy with this life, they feel love from people and their trainers and they feel that they are flattered, I'm sure the trainers try to make them feel relieved and feel their love for them . If Orcas died fast in this lifestyle , that doesn't mean that they got depressed but that means trainers didn't care for them well and didn't make them feel their love. Imagine that you live a very simple life in a small village but their people love you and very nice to you , believe me you won't want to leave them and live in a big city where no one takes care of you
While I really don't believe it is right to keep these animals in captivity, I really do feel that the trainers do their best and care about the orcas. Even though trainer Dawn Brancheau died during one of these shows, watching her in this video (especially from 10:16 to 13:25) is simple proof that she died doing what she loved.
They love the animals with all their heart but instead of being selfish they should let them go. We all know it's not right especially the trainers. The Orca would be much happier away from that tank.
I definitely agree with you! Unfortunately, I don't believe Sea World will be releasing any Orcas anytime soon.... :(
drummerlewrocks I think that they're not selfish, I honestly think that the bond between trainer and orca was a lot stronger at that time when the trainers were in the water, but I can see your view points. I don't agree with all captivity but you have to look at it and be honest, it can be a lot worse.

Then dont be human, go with the guy that pretended to be a goat and lose your intelligence, don't go to school or do work

The animals in sea world hate it there and captivity makes their life span shorter.
there treated with so much care and u can see how happy they are, for an example, dogs or cats, theyre domesticated and they sit in there cage and your house. we treat them well, and they wouldnt want to leave if they had the opportunity. did u even watch the vid. there lowkey enjoying thereselves.
@@kennedybeaulieu8313 I can recommend the documentary „Blackfish“. You really think they’re happy? Living in such small tanks?
@@kennedybeaulieu8313 enjoying themselves? they are basically starved and given the ultimatum to perform circus tricks for food or starve to death..
@@kennedybeaulieu8313 These poor creatures were not meant for living in tanks there whole lives. I don't blame Tilikum for killing those people at SeaWorld. Those whales at SeaWorld are all stressed out and depressed. These animals should be living in the ocean freely and not in tanks at SeaWorld. Yes, The orca's have killed people at SeaWorld because how stressed they were it's not there fault. Orca's don't kill people in the wild. I think you should watch blackfish because that answer what you said is wrong. And, cats and dogs do live in peoples homes because they are meant to be a house pet they like being around humans and living with them. But a orca is a whole other animal.
I love Sea World💚. IMO it's the same concept as visiting animals refuges, sanctuaries, zoos, aquariums, the circus, or even owning a pet of any kind because ALL animals were naturally wild until humans domesticated them.
If you disapprove of Sea World you certainly shouldn't be eating animal meat, eggs, milk, or other byproducts. This is even worse than watching them perform.
I agree with you 100%
***** well said! Weird way of justifying his dog's captivity...smh. As you stated, Hypocrisy sure does run rampant.
imagine living in your bath tub for 30 years, that is what it is like for these orcas, at least at sanctuary's they have bigger enclosers and maintain some dignity, and zoo's aquariums and circus's are just as frowned upon by the public.
liam crawford I get you point that it's not a natural habitat but this goes for any animal living in a human's house(cats), an aquarium(fish), kennel or pet house in the yard(dog) and so forth. All animals were naturally wild until people decided to domesticate them for entertainment or personal ownership. Worse still, imagine eating a steak, a pork chop, chicken wings during super bowl, or a fish sandwich. ...devouring animals is worse than watching them perform. It's all so hypocritical. Seaworld isn't doing any worse than anyone else.
Super Woman first, why the hell would i watch the superbowl, but also eating animals is fine, we are omnivores. But having a pet is completely different, most pet owners allow there pet to go outside and do whatever the hell they want. An aquarium or a zoo is the complete opposite, there they cannot do any of there normal natural habits like hunting. A sanctuary is again diffrent, animals that are bought to them are often injured or for some reason unable to live in in their normal habitat, and the enclosures are alot bigger and the animals are quite often released into the wild. Places, like seaworld a zoo or an aquarium are inhumane and derserved to be shut down as they take away a animals normal lifestyle and shorten there life expectency by over half a lot of the time. Sanctuarys or house pets give a animal the same lifestyle they have in the world for the most part and lengthen a animals life span.
I know these orcas are tempted to hurt these cruel humans
Yes they are but they can't because this cruel humans feed them for that they do as they say am I right...
Drowned by tilikum ya right.... She was brutally mutilated. Scalped, spine severed, arm ripped from her shoulder...don't sugarcoat what really happened.
But can you blame Tilikum for attacking? The Ocra is held captive against his wishes ofcourse he will snap one day and become brutal.
Emma Frost I never blamed Tilikum. I am just stating how it went down. I hold zero blame towards the whale or Dawn. The greedy corporate owners are the one's I blame
Hussain Reacts I don't mean to say you blamed Tilikum, I mean that as a expression. But I think everyone In Seaworld is to blame.
السلام وعليكم السلام وعليكم باليمن و عليكم سلام عليكم. . لا
Sure wish I knew what Tillikum was thinking when she did that. Especially to Dawn😞
2:31 imagine saying believe for that long that just proves to me how they are trying to get us to think that we should feel happy or out of this world seeing this animals perform.
The like/dislike bar on this video is a pretty good indicator on the level of ignorance people have toward seaworld.
I really wish people would do there research. How many of you have paid to go to a petting zoo, a city zoo anything along the lines where they have animals in cages or habitats of some sort. What happened with the trainer Dawn was a an absolute tragedy, may she rest in peace.I am a firm believer that the individuals that get into this line of work know what these animals are capable of. I have always had the utmost respect for anyone who gets in this type of work. To anyone that currently works or has worked at SeaWorld what you guys do is extremely dangerous and very rewarding at the same time. I know you guys treat your animals with respect and love.
Anyway, Do any of you know with absolute certainty, when the last time an orca, killer whale, was taken out of the wild and taken to sea world? Tilikum, the whale that everyone is talking about, was taken out of the wild in 1983. The laws and requirements have changed significantly in the the past 20+ years. I don't know this for a fact, but from what I have found he was the last whale that they have from the wild. With that being said the other whales that were born in captivity, how would releasing them into the wild be responsible when they may not be able to survive in wild at all?
Remember for those of you who still have to argue that the animals shouldn't live in captivity. We have learned an astounding amount of information from the zoo's, animal wildlife exhibits and yes SeaWorld. No one is arguing against places like Busch Gardens and city zoo's, remember to fight for all sides not just the side that is most convenient for you.
If these places are going to exist, which they always are, I am happy to have it be a place like SeaWorld.
"Do any of you know with absolute certainty, when the last time an orca, killer whale, was taken out of the wild and taken to sea world?"
Doesn't change the fact that they still rape the ones already there with false insemination, along with plenty of inbreeding, which very few even survive into adulthood at all if they're not already stillborn. The fact that those past wrongs are now outlawed does NOT change the wrongs they still proceed to do.
I agree 100% with your first paragraph. The second paragraph although a good point needs to be researched a little more. The trainers at Seaworld know what the animals are capable of. They don't just walk into seaworld and get the job. Animal trainers go through college, must have previous experience with animals, initial tests and training, and so much more. They KNOW it's dangerous but it's a passion of theirs and their dream job. I know, even after the supposedly 100% true movie "Blackfish", I want to work at Seaworld as an animal trainer.
The killer Whales needed tho be free!🙄😤🥵 like if you want that tho!
I cant watch tho this🥺😭🥵😤
If they were let free thet would die. All they know is the pool.
I know, but they just have to release them into their Own nature,not hold them capitive.😰
It's no good that those critters are such a cup life, either. They don't know how to survive in the sea. Because they are used to living in such a cup!😰💔
@@soetkin_ When Sea World stops breeding orcas, Most likely they will go extinct! Plus the trainers have strong bonds with the orcas and the orcas adore the trainers. They may not adore the tank though.

I remember all this and my dad never liked this kind of shows...he said the wales are under a lot of stress. The animals aren't for our entertainment...they deserve respect for they wildlife.
Percebam que, tem uma baleia que está com problemas, a barbatana dela está caída para o lado direito, e quando elas estão assim significa que elas estão feridas ou até mesmo, doentes'-'
Pois é, também essa baleia está triste de estar lá e não estar em sua casa,em seu lar,hoje mesmo vi os documentários e chorei muito
Isso é pela pressão da água da piscina, que é baixa e não sustenta a cartilagem da barbatana
Quando a barbatana delas ficam de lado, isso quer dizer que elas estão ficando desnutridas

Sim isso é uma verdadera crueldade com as baleias quando a barbatanas delas estão caidas isso significa q alas n estão felizes ou satifeitas com oq eles fazer ou ate mesmo desnutridas essa parque deveria ser fechado tava vendo umas reportagens e deu pra perceber q o ser humano é um ser nojento q só pensa em si próprio!!!
The show is undeniably spectacular. It is still morally questionable.
LesPaul2006 This show reminded me why I love these animals and SeaWorld. Blackfish is completely propaganda. It is in fact 85% lies. Most of the "trainers" never even worked at SeaWorld in fact one of the trainers that actually worked at SeaWorld got demoted for kicking an otter. The documentary was made so biased to make it more successful. Dorsal fin collapse is not un healthy for the orcas, it is mainly due to the fact they spend more time up at the surface with their trainers and as there are no bones in the dorsal it droops. It doesn't hurt the orcas in anyway. Orcas are very intelligent animals so they receive lots of different forms of enrichment everyday learning new behaviors for shows is actually very mentally stimulating for them. Also they are not forced to perform. If the orca does not want to do a trick it doesn't do it and that's fine. I've got lots of video evidence of the orcas refusing tricks and the trainers just move on. They are not starved either they are fed three times a day and the food in shows is sort if like an extra treat for them. SeaWorld has not collected orcas from the wild for over 47 years and most of the orcas are still with there mothers. The scene in blackfish where the mother "cries" when her baby is taken away is fake. Katina was opening her mouth on command of a trainer and blackfish added the sounds in. Did you know SeaWorld rescues over 35,000 animals every year including 400 whales and dolphins. These animals are great ambassadors to their species scientists study them each and every day to help save those in the wild. In the wild populations of orcas are near to extinction because of pollution, overfishing, boat traffic ect. They are the orcas we should be worrying about not these well fed orcas in filtered saltwater. It is such a shame to see the company that inspired so many of us to love these beautiful mammals slowly shut down. Hope this cleared a few things up. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask :)
WOW a well educated view point , but only a opinion none the less. the fact remains that vast numbers of people are saying that enough is enough, and sea world is listening to them, they are predominantly a entertainment company first and foremost. lets not make it about how "blackfish" put a negative spin on sea world. in fairness sea world have been putting a positive "spin" on there sea creature "collection" since they first opened. clearly wild animals are better off in the wild, i cant understand how anyone would dare argue differently. Yes sea world do help a number of animals from the wild each year but so do rescue centres etc and they don't make them perform. sea world filled a niche in the market when it first opened but the public mood has changed and they have to do what the paying people want. circuses have also felt the effect of peoples voices so sea world is not on its own. clearly keeping animals in captivity is a negative for the animal in one way or another. i hear so much about how "blackfish" has made sea world change but it shift had started long before the documentary was released. it was in fact a film that started to change peoples perception of captive sea animals "free willy" was the starting point and blackfish was only a catalyst for change. the end result is that sea world is changing its programs and no orcas will be bred in captivity or taken from the sea

It is so hard watching these old videos :/ growing up, we went to Seaworld every summer! I grew up wanting to be a “Shamu trainer”, as I called them. Knowing now that they aren’t in the best conditions breaks my heart… but it sure does bring back beautiful childhood memories to watch both human and orca swim together. *sigh*
Esses lindos animais tem que viver é no mar , que é sua casa . Livres não presos numa minúscula piscina....

But it is entertainment and they were stolen from the ocean!! Your childhood memories have nothing to do with the torture of these animals!!
@@horse-lover68 they weren’t stolen from the ocean.. 99% of the whales at seaworld are captive bred, and the whales that were captured weren’t captured by seaworld. please do your research ❤
@@etceteracide Yes and from where are their parent's?? There is a government order naming SW by name and ordering them to stop stealing Southern resident orca's. Than they went to Iceland capturing whales.Anyway you know that 99% of Al orca's and dolphins in captivity only live 1/3 of their natural lifespan and that is sientificly proven. So why don't you stop with this greed and let them !I've their life in a SEABAY WITH HUMAN CARE???And pls don't come with that crap that the ocean IS SO dangerous for them.They are still hunting birds in the tanks, most of them are hybrid's that cannot be released, but I think enough of them already died for SW's money.Let them explore a seabay ad feel the ocean not chlorine water. Look at their swollen eye's, eve the video's show that ad their immunsystem is so weak, they did with 20 or 25 year's. In their natural habitat it is male min 60 year's and females min 80 year's.

My heart breaks thinking these poor animals are still being held captive, under the name of “research and study”. #FreetheOrcas
Shush
Why should they live like this? Would you like to live like this too? How would you feel? Good? I don´t think so.
Ugh I know that it's amazing what the animals are doing but I can't help but feel so guilty for the poor animals.. 😢
yeah, They deserve to be free and live in the ocean. #savetheorcas
Surprising how captivity has made these creatures so docile. These guys are one of the few species in the sea who have been known to hunt and devour the biggest of sharks quite regularly
until they snap and kill their trainers or severely injured them
They're given sedatives...Valium. It's in one of the documentaies
Literally, they were heavily drugged
They have tried & they succeed killing 3 people. Docile would be if you could get in the tank with them. They aren’t docile they’re deadly. Don’t let Disney & Seaworld fool you. It’s fake.
@@elizabethwilliams3813 where’s the proof they were drugged? it would take an insane amount of drugs/tranquilizer etc to drug a 9000 pound plus animal.
Okay look, sea world takes orcas from the sea and puts then in these tanks, that has barely space for them to live, each year they DIE because of how badly they get treated! If they do a trick right they get food but if not..no food, this is a terrible way to treat our beloved orcas! They get forced to do tricks and get hurt easily, SEA LIFE IS TERRIBLE I hope you guys understand... Now we need more people to understand so this cruelty can get shut down! Who’s with me?

Embyr Oberly me too😢 i cried .
It's so sad to see that their fin is bent over.. Because the killer whales in the wild have straight ones because they are constantly swimming and it keeps their fin healthy( learned from the movie blackfish) and theirs is flopped over because they are kept in captivity and they don't swim that much. :(
Not all captive killer whales have bent fins. Corky II at Seaworld San Diego has a completely straight one and she's lived there for who knows how long (and yes is still alive today)

"She"
dorsal fin collapse is much more common in males.

Quit being so ignorant. Those Orcas were never rescued. They had a perfectly fine life in the wild with their families.
Quando se é criança vc adora ver essas imagens, sonha em conhecer lugares assim.. mas quando crescemos, percebemos o que havia por trás disso tudo. Exploração acima da liberdade do animal.

Blackfish is a fake documentary that shows trainers that worked there in the 80 and 90s.
it was still sad, how they seemed to treat the whales
+Bt Dubzz Documentaries aren't "fake". The whole purpose of a documentary is that it is factual. How do you think the movie has been so successful if it was "fake"? If it was "fake" we would've heard of it by now by authorities who actually know what they're talking about.
***** In what way? That these animals aren't suffering?...Cause they are, even if they got treated like freakin' royalty they would still be hurting, emotionally; mentally. By the way, I haven't even watched Blackfish so I wouldn't know personally whether it's "fake" or not. All I know is that these animals are suffering and I want to help them, and Blackfish seems to be helping. "Fake" or not people are starting to realize the true horror of these animals' lives and actually are making an effort to make them better, because of Blackfish. Also, I like the pun you did there...very punny, must I say so myself.
To bad they take these orcas out of there natural habitat and train them just to entertain humans.. they can barely keep these beautiful wild (key word wild) creatures alive. They aren't here for our entertainment or amusement .. they do not need to live in cages they need to live in the sea where they belong
+Cheyenne Pollard most of the wild caught ones have died though now.
Yeah but capturing animals from the wild was an old method now the rescued animals that cannot return to the wild because of injury are the ones who are living in captivity and/or doing tricks
+DJ Kenny Even so, they should be in a much larger enclosure and not be forced to entertain people in order to get food, fine save the animals but don't make them into an act to entertain people.
they dont perform to get food though...
only places like sealand of the pacific, with their poor training techniques did that and John hargove in black fish said himself that they didn't starve the orcas
But the reward for doing tricks is to get food therefore while they may be fed outside of the show they do still perform to get food and not because they like entertaining humans.
It's about time such captivity and training should end for the good of the animals and the trainers.
This makes me profoundly sad. Sometimes, Humans can really suck!
The trainers no longer go in the water now and once all the orcas they have pass away they will no longer be getting anymore. I guess they won't let the ones the have go now because they are Afraid they won't be able to handle the wild
Hannah banana no because they just breed their animals. SeaWorld isn't going to give up their money-makers that easy

I don't agree with cetaceans or any animal being in captivity. For humans is beautiful to see but we don't realise the anxiety these beings go through without their families from the oceans just for our entertainment. :-(
I don't agree with Captivity either, but most of the Animals in SeaWorld are Captive born. in this Video, only three of the whales where captured (Kasatka, Ulises, Corky) of course they go through large amounts of stress and anxiety during these captures, but we can't exactly throw them back in the ocean.

there are several tanks and a lot more than 10 meters for these animals to swim. i love cetaceans and animals in general but boycotting SeaWorld simply makes you stupid. how do you know what these whales are feeling?
go google Lolita the Orca and shut up about how SeaWorld's tanks are Bathtubs.
I loved being able to be with one of these animals but to see how depressive they are and so badly treated the only thing I feel is the desire to cry 😢😭
The mammals are cared for, they are rescued from the wild because of injuries or incapabilities to survive. They are fed and cleaned. Yes, they don’t have a lot of space to live but I’m sure they are happier now to be healthy animals then to be a free meal for what lurks in the ocean because of there health state. The animal abuse was a thing when sea creature captivity first was introduced to the world. They didn’t know how to get the animals to do what they wanted. Nowadays, they train the orca’s by giving rewards, which can be seen throughout the video. Stop hopping on the bandwagon of freeing captive orca’s, your comment won’t change anything.
Haqeeqe.new
They are treated FINE there certain standards a company as large as SeaWorld must obtain to be able to legally keep these animals, they must be at optimal health.
If we’re going to boycott SeaWorld then we better shut down aquariums and zoos too! Both obtain wild animals for our pleasure right?
People will see a video of an elephant in a pen and won’t say nothing but they’ll see a whale in an enclosure and will flip!
How do they train the Orcas to do tricks?🎉

There dorsal fins have no bone structure so its a cause of them being out of the water to long aka WATER PRESSURE
@@chxmicalkid look at a wild orca and there fins are fine, but when you look at the whales fins when they are in captivity they are almost always drooping. In killer whales this is a sign of depression

And it would be the whales choice.

Sea world has definitely left an impact on me when I found out they separate mothers from their own children and mostly don't send the aquatic creatures back to the wild. It sickens me when they are supposed to specialize in marine animals but they are basically abusing and torturing them. I am a young 12 year old girl and I still can't believe that any industry does this to animals. I hope this changed your mind and inspire you to tell others about this horrific things. If you still don't trust me search it. If possible put this in perspective a 12 year old girl even thinks this is harmful that aquatic marines or getting abused.
Actually, the orcas at seaworld often live longer than the average age in the wild. According to my guide to Whales, Dolphins and Porpoises, the average age for males is 29, and the average age for females is 50. SeaWorlds oldest male is 39, and its oldest female is 51.
+Emaline Hathcock actually orcas can live up to 100 in the wild
👍.
+Emaline Hathcock Hah... good joke. Orca in the wild live longer than their captive siblings.

This makes me laugh b/c I think you switched the ages b/c there is no way you could live longer in a place where you are confined to a small place with barely any entertainments (toys) or possibly food.
Rest In Peace dawn, Kayla, and tilly.

Watching this video...my belief in humanity is disappearing :(
shamo nueam
Viktória Macková This show reminded me why I love these animals and SeaWorld. Blackfish is completely propaganda. It is in fact 85% lies. Most of the "trainers" never even worked at SeaWorld in fact one of the trainers that actually worked at SeaWorld got demoted for kicking an otter. The documentary was made so biased to make it more successful. Dorsal fin collapse is not un healthy for the orcas, it is mainly due to the fact they spend more time up at the surface with their trainers and as there are no bones in the dorsal it droops. It doesn't hurt the orcas in anyway. Orcas are very intelligent animals so they receive lots of different forms of enrichment everyday learning new behaviors for shows is actually very mentally stimulating for them. Also they are not forced to perform. If the orca does not want to do a trick it doesn't do it and that's fine. I've got lots of video evidence of the orcas refusing tricks and the trainers just move on. They are not starved either they are fed three times a day and the food in shows is sort if like an extra treat for them. SeaWorld has not collected orcas from the wild for over 47 years and most of the orcas are still with there mothers. The scene in blackfish where the mother "cries" when her baby is taken away is fake. Katina was opening her mouth on command of a trainer and blackfish added the sounds in. Did you know SeaWorld rescues over 35,000 animals every year including 400 whales and dolphins. These animals are great ambassadors to their species scientists study them each and every day to help save those in the wild. In the wild populations of orcas are near to extinction because of pollution, overfishing, boat traffic ect. They are the orcas we should be worrying about not these well fed orcas in filtered saltwater. It is such a shame to see the company that inspired so many of us to love these beautiful mammals slowly shut down. Hope this cleared a few things up. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask :)
Viktória Macková oo
Viktória Macková. Gurlllllll they harm orca's
Viktória Macková ye
Traurig, dass die Menschen solche Veranstaltungen besuchen und nicht sehen wie viel Leid es den Tieren bereitet. 😒😪
Diese Tiere gehören in die Freiheit, ins Meer!!!
Thanks for amazing show!!
I guess orca enjoy playing with people because they want to have some fun like ball playing not with but by seal
koowoo nobthere not having fun they do it because there forced to. And they get fish
Orcas are actually very sociable.
Please educate your self about these shows.. This is animal cruelty at its finest, watch the blackfish documentary or othet videos like that to find out what these poor animals are going trought every day. Seaworld should be closed forever...
@@gv6292 I haven't seen Black Fish all the way it's on Netflix. Just found out it's still there.
I am so ashamed....i went there when i was a kid and i was like "oh Look mummy those cute Wales they Love to Jump and Wave with their flips"...well now i know it better. I feel so sorry for them beeing in this Little Pool which Is not even 1% of the area they swim through in one day when they are not in captivity, put together with other Wales from different clans ....they probably don't even understand each other. Screw sea Word and These people which just looking forward to make more and more Money. I Will Never Support you again! And i would beg every one who wants to go there to think about it that way: Do i really think that it is fair to capture Young whales, put them into a bathtub, make them pregnant just to take their Babies away to sell them to other Parks, and make them Look like clowns just that i can have 15 minutes of fun?
Great text! :)
You are sooo right
I sort of agree with you but they aren't taken away from there home (ocean) see, if you do some research you can figure out that they took the very first whale from a rehabilitation because it got injured and would not be able to survive on its own they brought it to seaworld and its making babies that are now raised to know that there is no difference because it was never in the ocean so if they would ever bring them back into the ocean it would do more damage then you already (think) they are doing. My life long dream is to train these magnificent animals and I have been doing a ton of research so if you have any questions just ask :)
+Emily Tierney "but they were born into being slaves they cant miss freedom they never had" k so that makes it right?
***** but that's nature, you know? Some die, some survive. Sorry, but that's the reality. It's very great when human help animals but they can't help everyone. And if you help these animals why doing a show with them? In this little tanks? Why? I'm so sorry for my english i am from Germany:) I don't want to be rude, but I just don't know why people do this. Maybe you can help...
+Kim B. The show is to get a revenue from it so they can take care of the other animals, and save other animals. Thats the same reason why they have roller coasters, so they can get more revenue. Its a simple business tactic, its just seaworld is the first to use it for good. And good job on your English Ma'am maybe you could teach us some german words. But i like that you commented, it made me realize that people outside of America worry or are interested in this type of stuff too. I'm on Seaworlds side not against seaworld. So if you have any questions ill be glad to answer them. :P
this is truly heartbreaking
freedom for animals
So Absolutely fabulous and tragic at the same time, how is it even possible to train these magnificent creatures to do this, but so sad they have to live like this,
i remember enjoying that show 10years ago, but these days i feel very sorry for whales. They belong to the sea. SeaWorld is so small for them. is SeaWorld keeping this show?
