My buddy is the grown up version of the guy in the dolphin segment, he is actually an Orca Trainer in SeaWorld Orlando. He Played the lead a lot of the time in Believe, the Former Shamu Show in SeaWorld Orlando! All the scenes for the dolphin segment in the beginning are filmed at Discovery Cove in Orlando. I saw the world premiere of this in Orlando...AMAZING, they brought in about 50 Childrens' Choirs who were all standing in the aisles singing during the finale it pretty incredible!
At 7:56 when the whale spins around instead of waves just goes to show that they enjoy playing and interacting with their trainers. They like to have fun and so they become innovative and imaginative to create new "games" so to speak. Even though the whales spun around instead of waved, the trainers went along with it and actually encouraged the innovative behavior instead of punishing them or making a big deal about it.
They already announced this pod of Orcas will be their last and are discontinuing the orca show. They can't release the ones they have that were born and raised in captivity into the wild, obviously.
Thank you Sea World for the work you have done for these majestic animals. What you have learned about these animals has helped hundreds of whales in the wild. Keep up the great work!!!
I know people keep saying Blackfish is one-sided, but you also have to realize that wasn't meant to be the case. The producer's of Blackfish tried MULTIPLE times to have SeaWorld interviewed. They refused the offer to redeem themselves every time. Obviously SeaWorld doesn't want to get beat down on camera because they know that some of the things they do is obviously cruel. It is SeaWorld who is one-sided. They care about the money more than the wellbeing of the animals in their care.
Why does everyone want to be a SeaWorld trainer when they could be a marine biologist? They could actually see the animals in the wild while protecting them. Holding such intelligent and social animals in captivity is just wrong.
Exactly, and these people commenting, or some of them, have bought the lie. They are treated like circus animals, with no dignity at all. Thrown dead fish, when their very natures are to hunt live prey. How would these people feel, living in one room for their entire lives, being thrown food if and when they performed correctly, and oh yes - being torn from their families and loved ones (that includes parents and children).
Lilly Love No need to thank me, but you're welcome. With stuff like this, it seems like people are just blindly following the popular opinion, which isn't always right. And what's right isn't always the popular opinion. Of course I'm quite likely going to get hate for saying what I just said, but it does hold some truth to it. I gotta be honest; I would much rather that wild orcas, whales and dolphins stay in the wild, but those born in captivity are better off in captivity.
someone explain something to me. I just don't see how being thrown the same food they eat in their normal habitat is WRONG. It's not like they're feeding them poison or anything like that. Animals kill their prey before they feast on them so they're basically eating dead fish anyway which is no different than an empolyee feeding it to them. Do you guys even realize that animals are actually exposed to more danger in the oceans than in theme parks? Think about it. At theme parks , they are fed a proper diet and the food is actually cleaned before it is given to them. Where as out in the ocean, their food is exposed to things like PARASITES and other bacteria that can harm them. Not to mention the water that they live in is more polluted versus a theme park where their water is filtered daily. So again, I don't see where the fuss is.
bridgitmfansite Well, a SeaWorld holding tank is like a bathtub compared to the ocean... Imagine that you're held in your room your whole life while just being fed and forced to do tricks. That would suck, wouldn't it?
Don’t be hypocrite! You don’t like this vídeo and say You want to "save the whales" but love to eat hamburgers and barbecues. Have you forgotten that to become a hamburger an animal was treated poorly and sacrificed? I love “ One Ocean”!!! Good job!👍
Of course it's a huge privilege to see these awesome creatures at close range in and out of the water in a giant turquoise pool - in a way you could not experience in the ocean.But those days are over. And gone too are the sleek aqua-athletes of earlier days. Athletes whose amazing performance and interaction with these awesome Orca's wow'd the world and will never be forgotten.
It was because of orcas in captivity that convinced the legislators to ban whale hunting internationally. People seem to forget that fact. So much good have come from orcas in captivity ❤
Everyone should read the article, "The Truth About Blackfish." Also look up interview clips of Kyle Kittleman and Mark Simmons (who was in Blackfish). Blackfish is designed to make you feel, not make you think.
+Emma Appleby Yea that's what it's all about,as long as you enjoy it ,even though it's at the animals/mammals expense,being abused by incarceration in a bathtub.The most important thing is you actually enjoy it,so that makes it okay right?Yea right.after all it's not you that is denied freedom,so don't hate it at all.
The short movie played at the beginning of this performance is an absolute mockery!! It shows people admiring orca in the wild yet Sea World still continues to breed orca in captivity. How ridiculous. Thank you Gabriela Cowperthwaite for Blackfish. I hope many people will watch this documentary.
If you hate Seaworld, You HAVE to hate Disneyworld, why? Disney's Epcot park holds 2 dolphins, the dolphins have been captured from the wild is what I've heard, and everyday they are pacing in circles around their tank. When I went, I could hardly see them, but when I did they swam in endless circles near their tanks floor. That is worse than Seaworld, when I went to SW last, the Dolphins were jumping, playing with enrichment and interacting with people at the glass. When at Disney, the dolphins didn't even acknowledge the humans. What does this tell you? Seaworld has not captured a wild Killer whale in over 30 years, Epcot gets new Dolphins everytime the old ones die. Hm?
I'm glad SeaWorld is realizing their mistake in keeping these beautiful creatures in captivity. I'm so glad they are stopping orca breeding. A part of me will miss going to SeaWorld and seeing the beautiful orcas. I grew up with them. It was part of my childhood, but I know that this is what's right. These amazing animals need to be free and with their families not separated, kept in small spaces, and forced to dance.
Please see injustice of this. Simply ending these shows will not only help the orcas but save the trainers as well. How many more trainers will get injured or die before they realize that this is wrong? How much longer is sea world going to lie to its visitors about how whales are healthier and live longer in captivity and then the wild?
Blackfish exposed sea world, to such an extent that sea worlds responses to the movie were really bad and easily refuted by the makers of Blackfish. You know there is a problem when many former employees are exposing the problems at sea world.
There's also a problem with a propaganda "documentary" with misinformation. Of course the writers "easily refuted" SeaWorld's kickback. These are the same people who said "Wait until after the award season to judge Blackfish". BF didn't win any awards.
they keep them hungry and they get a fish if they get a trick correct . if not no fish ... its really scientific method of training , people have been doing it for thousands of years
I remember when I first saw free dolphins on a bay in Croatia. I live in Finland so we never had free dolphins where I lived, but we had this one Seaworld-type dolphin performance stadium. Before it closed, as a child I used to often go watch that performance. But seeing them in the wild was so mesmerizing I could barely say "Look.. Dolphins" to my friends so they could see them too. The joy you got out of seeing those happy dolphins can't even be compared to these poor orcas and dolphins locked away from freedom.
Donovan Leonard true....but if we Would not keep them in captivity the Babies would handle their lives in the ocean Pretty well. It was a big mistake to capture them in the First line.
This is just one of the saddest things and the fact the bull like tilikum had a collapsed dorsal fin and was let out for a few minutes is even more sad.
I agree let show ppl where there supposed to be but wait these ones are n a swimming pool or bath tub doing tricks for food and being breaded to mke money and doing tricks for food then no proper shade for them and forced to tke meds it inhuman never been never will go it break my heart
Any of these commenters on the 'free the whales' bandwagon go to Disney? They have Dolphins in captivity. I've see quite a few people trip to Florida each year and won't go to SeaWorld because Blackfish told them too, but then still go to Disney.
My family and I went to SeaWorld when I was younger, not knowing the horrible things that have happened to the animals. I watched The BlackFish documentary about a year ago. And I am glad we had never, and will never visit SeaWorld again. R.I.P Tillicum 😞
i really want these animals to be freed but the thing is, these whales live in pools and are spoon fed. if they were to be released into the ocean not only would they find it difficult to survive but these animals wouldn't know how to defend themselves as most of these whales are in bred and haven't been exposed to the ocean so they would have very little chance of survival. it is just my opinion but these animals really are too beautiful and intelligent to be caged like this. the same goes for all other animals in captivity including pets.
I will continue to support SeaWorld. I stand with them. A majority of their orcas that were captured, weren't even captured by SeaWorld themselves. They haven't captured an orca for themselves for about 35 years, and they only helped in the rescue of Morgan because they believed she'd be set free. And, Morgan sadly cannot be released and rehabilitated properly due to her deafness. Now all you ignorant anti-caps will gang up on me, but I don't care. Because a majority of you have only watched the documentary and nothing else. I don't think you've thought over that CNN was a large part. Now, what does CNN do? Oh yeah, make things much more dramatic then they are. All you antis who believe that SeaWorld 'tortures' their whales and whatnot, have you ever seen them abuse their whales? Physically? I don't think so. Everyone needs to chill out and realize SeaWorld is not some big bad evil company. They love their whales, and not just for the money they make. In fact, my brother only likes SeaWorld for their roller coasters and sharks. Not everyone goes there for the whales. And, if we didn't have SeaWorld, who would have brought up that interest in cetaceans and made people want to protect them? Without SeaWorld, people may not even know about and be so struck in awe by these amazing creatures. Blackfish is completely one sided and I will not listen to anyone who sits outside SeaWorld and protests, yelling at people who enter the park, and ruining their days. Please, don't bother trying to correct me on what your opinion is. I refuse to deal with ignorant Blackfishers.
Beautifully written!!!!!! I used to watch a marine mammals rescue show, and SeaWorld was on that show as an "organization" that rescues, rehabilitates, and sometimes releases, depending on the severity of the injury. They take AMAZING care of these precious mammals! If needed, they operate on the mammals to help them recover. I didn't even know about the term "Marine Mammals" until I went to SeaWorld!!!!! You can kind of tell that I LOVE animals!!! My favorite marine mammals are DOLPHINS!!!!!! I am a HUGE dog lover!!!! I REALLY care about the health and wellbeing of these PRECIOUS babies!!!!! Animals are REALLY awesome!!!!!!
It's good to have different opinions, and I grant you, blackfish only gives his point of view. Seaworld has acknowledged that "some things were wrong" with the orcas in captivity. I agree with you that people should not be prevented from visiting a aquatic park, but we must understand that these things would not happen if the subject was not important. There are ignoramuses on both sides, the difference is that some get rich on the captivity of these wonderful animals.
+no one anymore There are 11 orcas at SeaWorld San Diego. Orcas with bent/collapsed dorsal fins:Keet,Ulises Ones with slightly bent/straight dorsal fins:Amaya(youngest there) Makani(My favorite
I seriously doubt that they would ever do that! There are orcas at Seaworld san diego with collapsed dorsal fins. They would never do stuff like that just to make the orcas look nicer
ThePlayground Dominators Watch The Cove, which deals with dolphins. Both whales and dolphins are exploited for profit, and they are blackmailed with the threat of not being fed unless they perform tricks. Plus, take a good look at the intro - at the free whales and dolphins. Look at the expanse of ocean at their disposal, then look at the unimaginative, unstimulating tanks that the captives have to swim in circles in. Many live their lives in solitary confinement, torn from their pods. Lolita has been languishing in Miami Seaquarium for 45 years in August. Place blame on those who deserve blame - the hunters and those who wish to exploit all cetaceans for their own profit.
i did half of it wasnt true. They talk about how killer whales are dangerous with scary music and then show a trainor with a bloodied face. guess what! that trienor was pushed into a wall by another trienor accidentally! so... BLACKFISH IS LIES
It is sad that this kind of animal cruelty is still allowed to continue for monetary purposes. Sea World should be closed. The whales should be free and the people who are making money out of them should be the ones in captivity. Please, stop this horror and leave this beautiful creatures in the ocean where they belong.
SeaWorld is going DOWN, society, in it's current level of development no longer needs places such as these, with our technology we can actually learn more from them in the wild then clinging to this old belief that keeping animals in captivity helps education, if you truly want to keep opened places such as these, replace the whales and dolphins with state of the art animatronics... sheesh, we're in the 21st century :(
“Old belief” keeping animals in captivity helps us study them? So you mean literal science? Because there are hundreds of studies only made possible because of captive animals. Including ones involving cetaceans.

The most disgusting form of human cruelty!! The animals are tortured, starved, driven into psychosis and eventually die!! The "loving trainers" rip calves away from their mothers which causes chronic depression, it shows you how evil a corporation like this is! I can't explain everything, but please if you have any love towards these gorgeous and intelligent creatures, watch the documentary "blackfish" and help educate everyone on the cruelty of sea world
Do watch 'Blackfish' before going. You will be shocked at the violent illegal way Sea World captured these Orca, subject them to mental cruelty today, misinforms the public about Orca. And the shameless way Sea World drags the reputation of killed trainers through the mud.
this is so sad those orcas should be with family in a ocean just for humans pure entertainment those orcas are slaves uu can see that in this video they get treat for trick they not pets but predators that can feed them self SEA WORLD SHOULD OF BEEN CLOSED YEARS AGO
MrJdth7 so you're suggesting that a place that shows young kids things they could only dream of seeing should be shut down. None of those orcas family are in the ocean, they were all born at sea world. If these whales were released into the wild they would not survive and test have proven this. There are hundreds of thousands of whales and you're complaining about 8 of them being taken care and fed every day where they are at no risk of being attacked by other ocean predators. You honestly make no sense or valid points
IKILLU102 "a place that shows young kids things they could only dream of seeing". What an invalid an selfish comment :) This is not about the kids entertainment. It's about the orcas. It's about what is best for the orcas, and you're entiteled to feel that being in Seaworld is good for them. But, the fact that your first statement is, they should keep seaworld running, for the entertainment of children, clearly shows it's not the orcas you really care about. It's the humans entertainment.
+IKILLU102 We can't simply re-locate every single animal on the planet to a location that's convenient for you and your kids to visit. Work hard and save up the money and take a trip every-once-and-while to actually see what the world has to offer at that actual location!
See, stuff like this makes me sick. Don't bother giving me stupid little comments like "shut up" or "don't watch then", it's not going to work. I have my reasons for watching this, just as anyone else has reasons of watching Miley twerk and then say they hate her. I have a voice, and I'm going to use it. If anyone has a problem with that, deal with it. This is really awful, they don't just take them in if they are injured. Oh no, they keep them in captivity so they can preform. Animals can't truly be happy like that, they are not meant to be put through this. I may not know how animals feel, but this is how I feel about it. Great job humanity, you just end up shortening the life spans of many orcas all because of your stupid selfish shows you put them through.
hollowghost2 It isn't only complaining. Some people may see some of the comments exposing SeaWorld and other marine parks, and may become more informed. Some people who have come onto these posts didn't realize what SeaWorld was about.
They look perfectly happy to me. All of you complaining about abuse or captivity are insane... there are much bigger problems in this world. I fail to see how the intelligence or lack thereof fails to justify training them and keeping them not in the ocean. Seems to me, other than the smaller quarters, they have a pretty sweet setup. They get fed, they get medical care, they build relationships with their trainers...
They are happy here, but they would be even happier in the wild, were they belong. Imagine being forced to perform every day and living in a pool with ppl you don't know.
@@theorangedeveloper2963 Dude, are you 6? Those dumb trainer's Etc, captured those Orca's and made them do tricks for ENTERTAINMENT. They belong IN the ocean, not In a tank....
Yes, Tilikum!!! My stupid phone changed it to that :( But thats so sad to hear. I have been following his story but I haven't read anything about them taking him out of shows. Its all around such a heartbreaking story. I just want to take him away from all of this pain. It truly upsets me because he did at once have a life outside of a cage.
This might be a myth but did you see how the fin on the top was slouching that means there sad or unhappy. They are seperated from there homes thats why. ιτs οκ Shαmυ
Heather Arriaga Nope...their fins flop due to gravity. They have no bones in their dorsal so the longer they're at the surface, training etc., they start to bend with heat/gravity and so fourth.
Before Blackfish: "OMG! DUDE I'M SO GOING THERE SOON! IT LOOKS SO COOL MY CHILD FANTASIES ARE COMPLETED! WOO WHALES." After Blackfish: "Omg, SeaWorld? Hell no! They need the orcas to be free! No tank is big enough those poor animalssss!!! LET SHAMU GO." Conclusion: Blackfish ruined SeaWorld for most.
Blackfish was propaganda disguised as a documentary, and it worked wonders on people too stupid to follow up on new information, who instead take everything as truth
I went to Orlando to sea world and Disney and all that growing up it seemed like every other year but it was our family vacation every year and it was always super fun
Please don't "dedicate" anything to people like Dawn Brancheau. If people like her truly loved the animals they worked with, they'd bother do a Google search on their history and lives. These "trainers" play stupid for their own selfish sense of purpose and meaning in life. And to those who think that these whales are fine with what's being done to them at these parks, know that you too could be locked up in a bathroom, starved, and then made to do tricks for peanuts.
I don't want to say it's funny how people make a big deal about how people in Japan still hunt Whales, but I mean honestly, just cause you "feel" that way doesn't make you innocent. Last time I checked, everybody else was pretty much eating everything else out there. So, I take it chickens, cows, etc. don't have feelings or are considered as something to think about every now and then. *cough* Black Rhinos *cough*. So, did I get anyone riled up? Who's gonna "correct" me? I'm not too sure why I felt the need to say this, but, I guess I'll ponder on it while eating my instant noodles. TTFN!
1 - There is no humane way to kill a whale at sea. Chickens and cows can, and should, be killed humanly. (even though some aren't in some places in this world) 2 - We can’t be certain that whale populations can survive large scale hunting along with the other daily threats they face. (Some whale populations can go extinct if Japan keeps on hunting Whales)
EveryDayIsAWeekend Most chickens, cows, and pigs are killed inhumanely. They are also stuffed into terrible living conditions, over crowded with poop and deafening noise. A huge percentage of companies claim to raise their animals safely and humanely, a lot of them claim that their animals are "free reign" and happy. The sad truth about farms is that almost all of them are lying.
I think your right but the only problem with Japan they over fish whales, the whale are barely surviving from these hunts , thanks to seashepard( awsome protection group) they have been in the southern ocean protecting this animals from extinction and most of Japan's animals in the ocean are extinct and soon there dolphins will be extinct too cause they kill them and they tried so hard to keep the world from knowing and the cove shows that, so if its really not bad then why are they trying to hide it
For those of you saying these animals should be released, they’d die almost immediately. As said by most, this is wrong, and I agree, but these animals grew up in captivity. This means that they’ve never experienced ocean life! Even if they were released, they wouldn’t know how to hunt for prey, attack, etc. This is something you guys need to understand! This happens, as unfortunate as it is, these animals are RAISED by humans and would not be able to function alone. They’re not raised by their moms, they’re raised and trained by humans. Accept reality.
Its ironic how they show a video of them being free and in the ocean with their family at the start and then they have them being forced to dance around for our entertainment in tiny tanks with concrete walls... I really hate people sometimes
pipsqueak 2008 Do you live under a rock? You do realize they got busted for YEARS of animal cruelty and neglect, which is why they are no longer permitted own orcas. After the their last orca dies of natural causes, they will no longer have orcas.
I find it ironic that you're on the internet like a domesticated human instead of running naked through the forest as a wild human...but still have the gall to bitch about other animals in captivity. You live in the wild, butt naked with no tools, THEN you can bitch
Dogs, cats, hamsters and rabbits were all wild animals at one time. Even if in captivity they are still living their lives just fine with out you losers that hate everything around you. Just don't go to the show. God gave us dominion over everything on, above and below the earth. You are nothing compared to what God wants.
Tillikum was very active in this! This is right after blackfish and Seaworld took a big hit hardly anyone was there but they put on a show like 5,000 people where in the stands. Love Seaworld but orcas are acoustic creatures there poor ears the music is to loud. But glad Seaworld is back to normal. I miss water work shows
I will never fail at being completely amazed and awed at the beauty and intelligence of these animal. I'll really miss the Shamu show after the whales are gone :'( It's such a shame it's going away
Seeing these animals makes me so happy I could literally cry (I am sad Get over it XD). Even in an environment I know is not the best for them. I think even though these shows aren't great they still create a great love for an animal people would otherwise never know about. They help too and we shouldn't forget that, even though there is obviously downfalls I think the species publicity is probably worth it.
***** so being in fresh clean salt water, having a balanced diet, and being cared for is wrong? Having these animals in captivity is helping the whales in the wild cause we are able to understand certain things. So we can watch a human pretty much salve itself over dancing and performing but its wrong to watch animals exercise and show majestic they can be? Doesn't make sense. Sorry but I know tons of people at Seaworld and they take very great care of the whales. Even the trainers parents and came out to say that the documentary was propaganda and pretty much a domestic terrorist. PETA only has one thing on its list without doing proper research. Im for both sides but people need to do their research before having an opinion. Plus tons of animals are stuck because of boats or nets or some other reasons and Seaworld stayed with the manatees for 72 hours until all of them were free here in Florida but they get no credit for that. People research!
Dustin Harper Seeing as you appear so knowledgeable on the subject of orca captivity, perhaps you could answer these questions: 1, Why are there numerous incidents of aggression from captive orcas towards trainers and other orcas? 2, Why did SeaWorld never allow trainers in the water with Tilikum prior to Dawn's death? 3, Why does Loro Parque not allow trainers in the water with their orcas that are on loan from SeaWorld? 4, Why do captive orcas chew on concrete walls of their tank or metal gate? 5, Why do captive orcas self-mutilate by banging their head against the side of their tank? 6, Why do captive orcas regurgitate their food and play with it (and then eat it again)? 7, Is it ok to keep a massive and highly intelligent marine mammal that can swim at speeds of up to 30mph and 'see' up to 10 miles away using their echolocation be put into a sterile concrete tank that is only a maximum of 10 times their body length? 8, Does the transport of captive orcas from one park to another, or to another country (which is at times a necessity) cause suffering to the animal? 9, How can marine parks guarantee captive orcas are placed into artificial social structures with compatible orcas? 10, Why is it captive orcas have to rely on constant enrichment from humans in order to maintain their physical and mental health?
What a cruel irony! Showing pictures of orcas and other sea animals living freely in their natural habitat while these orcas are stuck in a small fish bowl.
Seaworld company will forever go down in history as one with no integrity. Captivity of orca and other marine life for human amusement will forever leave a mark on mankind. One day everyone will realize how truly barbaric we once were for believing the marketing lie that it's "okay" to have these magnificent creatures living this way.
My buddy is the grown up version of the guy in the dolphin segment, he is actually an Orca Trainer in SeaWorld Orlando. He Played the lead a lot of the time in Believe, the Former Shamu Show in SeaWorld Orlando! All the scenes for the dolphin segment in the beginning are filmed at Discovery Cove in Orlando. I saw the world premiere of this in Orlando...AMAZING, they brought in about 50 Childrens' Choirs who were all standing in the aisles singing during the finale it pretty incredible!

They already announced this pod of Orcas will be their last and are discontinuing the orca show. They can't release the ones they have that were born and raised in captivity into the wild, obviously.
Yeah. And then they killed a proposed law saying that this will be their last.
I went to SeaWorld yesterday! it was SO GOOD
Thank you Sea World for the work you have done for these majestic animals. What you have learned about these animals has helped hundreds of whales in the wild. Keep up the great work!!!
I know people keep saying Blackfish is one-sided, but you also have to realize that wasn't meant to be the case. The producer's of Blackfish tried MULTIPLE times to have SeaWorld interviewed.

Exactly, and these people commenting, or some of them, have bought the lie. They are treated like circus animals, with no dignity at all. Thrown dead fish, when their very natures are to hunt live prey. How would these people feel, living in one room for their entire lives, being thrown food if and when they performed correctly, and oh yes - being torn from their families and loved ones (that includes parents and children).
Thank you so much for saying this!
Lilly Love No need to thank me, but you're welcome. With stuff like this, it seems like people are just blindly following the popular opinion, which isn't always right. And what's right isn't always the popular opinion. Of course I'm quite likely going to get hate for saying what I just said, but it does hold some truth to it.

bridgitmfansite Well, a SeaWorld holding tank is like a bathtub compared to the ocean... Imagine that you're held in your room your whole life while just being fed and forced to do tricks. That would suck, wouldn't it?
Don’t be hypocrite! You don’t like this vídeo and say You want to "save the whales" but love to eat hamburgers and barbecues. Have you forgotten that to become a hamburger an animal was treated poorly and sacrificed?
I love “ One Ocean”!!! Good job!👍
The orca at 7:50 on the right kinda looks like Tillikum!
I meant 7:56
Of course it's a huge privilege to see these awesome creatures at close range in and out of the water in a giant turquoise pool - in a way you could not experience in the ocean.But those days are over. And gone too are the sleek aqua-athletes of earlier days. Athletes whose amazing performance and interaction with these awesome Orca's wow'd the world and will never be forgotten.
It was because of orcas in captivity that convinced the legislators to ban whale hunting internationally. People seem to forget that fact. So much good have come from orcas in captivity ❤
Everyone should read the article, "The Truth About Blackfish." Also look up interview clips of Kyle Kittleman and Mark Simmons (who was in Blackfish). Blackfish is designed to make you feel, not make you think.
Maybe I'm just a piece of rubbish, but I actually enjoy sea world. Please don't hate, everyone has their own opinions.
+Emma Appleby Yea that's what it's all about,as long as you enjoy it ,even though it's at the animals/mammals expense,being abused by incarceration in a bathtub.The most important thing is you actually enjoy it,so that makes it okay right?Yea right.after all it's not you that is denied freedom,so don't hate it at all.
+Cryer24597 Did you see the video of former trainers saying the makers of that film exaggerated a lot of it?
+Cryer24597 I just wanted to make a point. Didn't you read my comment about no hate?
I'm with you and your not rubbish your positive! I love sea world and would give up almost anything to live in Orlando and go everyday!
>>First: I'm from Germany therefore I apologize for my bad English ;)
I am really going to miss Shamu 😭😿
complete show 2015 posted the 09/02/2013
The short movie played at the beginning of this performance is an absolute mockery!! It shows people admiring orca in the wild yet Sea World still continues to breed orca in captivity. How ridiculous. Thank you Gabriela Cowperthwaite for Blackfish. I hope many people will watch this documentary.
If you hate Seaworld, You HAVE to hate Disneyworld, why? Disney's Epcot park holds 2 dolphins, the dolphins have been captured from the wild is what I've heard, and everyday they are pacing in circles around their tank. When I went, I could hardly see them, but when I did they swam in endless circles near their tanks floor. That is worse than Seaworld, when I went to SW last, the Dolphins were jumping, playing with enrichment and interacting with people at the glass. When at Disney, the dolphins didn't even acknowledge the humans. What does this tell you? Seaworld has not captured a wild Killer whale in over 30 years, Epcot gets new Dolphins everytime the old ones die. Hm?
NOOO EVEN MORE PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR
you are so right
P
Yuu
I mean by that meaning "comments that suck and no one care about"
I'm glad SeaWorld is realizing their mistake in keeping these beautiful creatures in captivity. I'm so glad they are stopping orca breeding. A part of me will miss going to SeaWorld and seeing the beautiful orcas. I grew up with them. It was part of my childhood, but I know that this is what's right. These amazing animals need to be free and with their families not separated, kept in small spaces, and forced to dance.
this is so cool how do you do that.
Where can I buy the DVD for the One Ocean sea world videos? I would like to keep some ❤
I feel really bad for poor Tilikum :(
He is not at this stadium
Boogster Su I feel really bad for ALL OF THEM.
I don’t he killed don and other. People too
To be fair he killed 4 people
Chris Kinsey no he didn’t, he’s only been recorded killing Dawn.
Please see injustice of this. Simply ending these shows will not only help the orcas but save the trainers as well. How many more trainers will get injured or die before they realize that this is wrong? How much longer is sea world going to lie to its visitors about how whales are healthier and live longer in captivity and then the wild?
Blackfish exposed sea world, to such an extent that sea worlds responses to the movie were really bad and easily refuted by the makers of Blackfish. You know there is a problem when many former employees are exposing the problems at sea world.
There's also a problem with a propaganda "documentary" with misinformation. Of course the writers "easily refuted" SeaWorld's kickback. These are the same people who said "Wait until after the award season to judge Blackfish".
BF didn't win any awards.
i knew what to expect when i scrolled down lol
Isaiah Deleon yeah it’s disgusting
So many anti capts, ew
So, what did you expect?
Too much love for whales?
Rather eat them?
They'd be too intelligent for you anyway! LOL!
YOU AIN'T APEX!
THEY ARE!
@@hurithinkbefore1340 humans are also apex
Are there speakers underwater? How do the Orca's perform on point to the beat?
TeanoZ lots and lots of training.... like a dog.
They are trained with fish
they keep them hungry and they get a fish if they get a trick correct . if not no fish ... its really scientific method of training , people have been doing it for thousands of years
I remember when I first saw free dolphins on a bay in Croatia. I live in Finland so we never had free dolphins where I lived, but we had this one Seaworld-type dolphin performance stadium. Before it closed, as a child I used to often go watch that performance. But seeing them in the wild was so mesmerizing I could barely say "Look.. Dolphins" to my friends so they could see them too. The joy you got out of seeing those happy dolphins can't even be compared to these poor orcas and dolphins locked away from freedom.
Couldn't even finishing watching this. It's so messed up
Orcas are my favorite animals😍
I went to sea world last week
This was the very first video of killer whales at seaworld that I watched
How can it be the 2016 show, when the Video was published in 2013?
They are so beautiful, but it's so tragic.
your preddy beautiful as well to be honest
Kind of ironic how the show is called "One Ocean", and he's stuck in a box for the rest of his life...
It's ironic that they are celebrating the ocean,and they keep them in bathtubs.
True
Donovan Leonard true....but if we Would not keep them in captivity the Babies would handle their lives in the ocean Pretty well. It was a big mistake to capture them in the First line.
So true
Cade Del Rey they let them free after a while and get new ones 😐
8:00 That's Katey on the left, yes? Her energy and enthusiasm is so great.
Have fun but not enough to see anxiously.
This is just one of the saddest things and the fact the bull like tilikum had a collapsed dorsal fin and was let out for a few minutes is even more sad.
Zak Handel
Still nothing like the open ocean where they belong
Zak Handel
Ratio of the amount they travel in the wild per year to the size of the tank is like 1000000 to 1
They travel that amount each day to hunt and to hunt only...
I don't even need to scroll down to know that every other comment is going to be about Blackfish.
No well I hate when killer whales are in captivity😓
IKR why are people are talking about blackfish? It’s shame not tilikum
@@AilcandreDreder because tilikum isn't the only killer whale being held in captivity?

How ironic, showing people hiking and watching whales in the wild IN AN AQUARIUM THEME PARK.
And their message is: If you love these whales, help them out in the wild (so they don't go extinct)
I agree let show ppl where there supposed to be but wait these ones are n a swimming pool or bath tub doing tricks for food and being breaded to mke money and doing tricks for food then no proper shade for them and forced to tke meds it inhuman never been never will go it break my heart
@@TANIEA.JAY.40 sea world is more than a theme park, it's an rehabilitation center for many sea animals
Any of these commenters on the 'free the whales' bandwagon go to Disney?
They have Dolphins in captivity. I've see quite a few people trip to Florida each year and won't go to SeaWorld because Blackfish told them too, but then still go to Disney.
Having 2 dolphins is not the same as having an entire park filled with captive animals.
And Animal Kingdom has robot animals?
I don’t hate anything but if whales were on the same brain power as humans they would have us in captivity
Dont forget animal kingdom
My family and I went to SeaWorld when I was younger, not knowing the horrible things that have happened to the animals. I watched The BlackFish documentary about a year ago. And I am glad we had never, and will never visit SeaWorld again.
R.I.P Tillicum 😞
Is that joslyn Davis from Beauty break at 1:32
i really want these animals to be freed but the thing is, these whales live in pools and are spoon fed. if they were to be released into the ocean not only would they find it difficult to survive but these animals wouldn't know how to defend themselves as most of these whales are in bred and haven't been exposed to the ocean so they would have very little chance of survival. it is just my opinion but these animals really are too beautiful and intelligent to be caged like this. the same goes for all other animals in captivity including pets.
+Van 'these animals look happy' lol
Mary Alice they already have well thought out plans to learn them to live in the wild again.... Only... They just don't do it
j_0rdy roblox Uhm no whales shouldn’t be in a a pool that’s big or small. They should be in a ocean living their lives
#seaworldissafe
They are feeding them every 15 minutes but i dont know how they work at night?
I really miss going to sea world looking at all the beautiful animals and scenery,I'll go again someday.
I will continue to support SeaWorld. I stand with them. A majority of their orcas that were captured, weren't even captured by SeaWorld themselves. They haven't captured an orca for themselves for about 35 years, and they only helped in the rescue of Morgan because they believed she'd be set free. And, Morgan sadly cannot be released and rehabilitated properly due to her deafness. Now all you ignorant anti-caps will gang up on me, but I don't care. Because a majority of you have only watched the documentary and nothing else. I don't think you've thought over that CNN was a large part. Now, what does CNN do? Oh yeah, make things much more dramatic then they are. All you antis who believe that SeaWorld 'tortures' their whales and whatnot, have you ever seen them abuse their whales? Physically? I don't think so. Everyone needs to chill out and realize SeaWorld is not some big bad evil company. They love their whales, and not just for the money they make. In fact, my brother only likes SeaWorld for their roller coasters and sharks. Not everyone goes there for the whales. And, if we didn't have SeaWorld, who would have brought up that interest in cetaceans and made people want to protect them? Without SeaWorld, people may not even know about and be so struck in awe by these amazing creatures. Blackfish is completely one sided and I will not listen to anyone who sits outside SeaWorld and protests, yelling at people who enter the park, and ruining their days. Please, don't bother trying to correct me on what your opinion is. I refuse to deal with ignorant Blackfishers.
Beautifully written!!!!!! I used to watch a marine mammals rescue show, and SeaWorld was on that show as an "organization" that rescues, rehabilitates, and sometimes releases, depending on the severity of the injury. They take AMAZING care of these precious mammals! If needed, they operate on the mammals to help them recover. I didn't even know about the term "Marine Mammals" until I went to SeaWorld!!!!! You can kind of tell that I LOVE animals!!! My favorite marine mammals are DOLPHINS!!!!!! I am a HUGE dog lover!!!! I REALLY care about the health and wellbeing of these PRECIOUS babies!!!!! Animals are REALLY awesome!!!!!!
It's good to have different opinions, and I grant you, blackfish only gives his point of view. Seaworld has acknowledged that "some things were wrong" with the orcas in captivity. I agree with you that people should not be prevented from visiting a aquatic park, but we must understand that these things would not happen if the subject was not important.
There are ignoramuses on both sides, the difference is that some get rich on the captivity of these wonderful animals.
I respect your opinion but that size of the pools are small for the orcas
I bet the movie Blackfish would look great on that screen!
how come some of their dorsal fins are pointed up straight now instead of flopped over like they used to be?
I think the collapsed dorsal fin is mainly at Orlando. This is San Diego
+no one anymore There are 11 orcas at SeaWorld San Diego.
Orcas with bent/collapsed dorsal fins:Keet,Ulises
Ones with slightly bent/straight dorsal fins:Amaya(youngest there) Makani(My favorite
i think they place metal struts inside the fins or fill them with glassfibre resin
I seriously doubt that they would ever do that! There are orcas at Seaworld san diego with collapsed dorsal fins. They would never do stuff like that just to make the orcas look nicer
raph they should be straight up... Uhmm... Do research before you place a comment about something you don't Know off because this is awkward...
Don't know if anyone ever noticed but in the intro cinematic some of the kids wear a wooden tail pendant from the Believe days :)
Watch the blackfish documentary
Sources proved that most of blackfish was faked by PETA and PETA is responsible for most of the animals being killed
ThePlayground Dominators Watch The Cove, which deals with dolphins. Both whales and dolphins are exploited for profit, and they are blackmailed with the threat of not being fed unless they perform tricks. Plus, take a good look at the intro - at the free whales and dolphins. Look at the expanse of ocean at their disposal, then look at the unimaginative, unstimulating tanks that the captives have to swim in circles in. Many live their lives in solitary confinement, torn from their pods. Lolita has been languishing in Miami Seaquarium for 45 years in August. Place blame on those who deserve blame - the hunters and those who wish to exploit all cetaceans for their own profit.
ThePlayground Dominators Damn PETA spoke to the whales so they could kill the trainer. I didn't know that.
i did half of it wasnt true. They talk about how killer whales are dangerous with scary music and then show a trainor with a bloodied face. guess what! that trienor was pushed into a wall by another trienor accidentally! so... BLACKFISH IS LIES

It is sad that this kind of animal cruelty is still allowed to continue for monetary purposes. Sea World should be closed. The whales should be free and the people who are making money out of them should be the ones in captivity. Please, stop this horror and leave this beautiful creatures in the ocean where they belong.
Dose anyone know what the trainer is saying at 13:21 to 13:50??
Sadly today is the last show of one ocean
These are highly intelligent animals. It makes me sad to see Seaworld is still doing this :'(
Same
SeaWorld is going DOWN, society, in it's current level of development no longer needs places such as these, with our technology we can actually learn more from them in the wild then clinging to this old belief that keeping animals in captivity helps education, if you truly want to keep opened places such as these, replace the whales and dolphins with state of the art animatronics... sheesh, we're in the 21st century :(
Why it’s better to see them in there real form there are more beautiful like that
I hope next time you're in Alaska the boat capsizes.
Stop being rude some little kids want to work there
“Old belief” keeping animals in captivity helps us study them?
So you mean literal science? Because there are hundreds of studies only made possible because of captive animals. Including ones involving cetaceans.
California passed a law banning the shows in its state....
They created an "educational" show called killer whales up close which is a work around the new law. so the show goes on.
The shows out already, its on youtube.

Where thats from
The most disgusting form of human cruelty!! The animals are tortured, starved, driven into psychosis and eventually die!! The "loving trainers" rip calves away from their mothers which causes chronic depression, it shows you how evil a corporation like this is! I can't explain everything, but please if you have any love towards these gorgeous and intelligent creatures, watch the documentary "blackfish" and help educate everyone on the cruelty of sea world
I am going to Sea World this weekend and can't wait.
Do watch 'Blackfish' before going. You will be shocked at the violent illegal way Sea World captured these Orca, subject them to mental cruelty today, misinforms the public about Orca. And the shameless way Sea World drags the reputation of killed trainers through the mud.
this is so sad those orcas should be with family in a ocean
just for humans pure entertainment those orcas are slaves
uu can see that in this video they get treat for trick
they not pets but predators that can feed them self
SEA WORLD SHOULD OF BEEN CLOSED YEARS AGO
***** not anymore cose TILIKUM was breeder
MrJdth7 so you're suggesting that a place that shows young kids things they could only dream of seeing should be shut down. None of those orcas family are in the ocean, they were all born at sea world. If these whales were released into the wild they would not survive and test have proven this. There are hundreds of thousands of whales and you're complaining about 8 of them being taken care and fed every day where they are at no risk of being attacked by other ocean predators. You honestly make no sense or valid points
MrJdth7 rfvht have a gear Byarsda Winamac
IKILLU102 "a place that shows young kids things they could only dream of seeing". What an invalid an selfish comment :) This is not about the kids entertainment. It's about the orcas. It's about what is best for the orcas, and you're entiteled to feel that being in Seaworld is good for them. But, the fact that your first statement is, they should keep seaworld running, for the entertainment of children, clearly shows it's not the orcas you really care about. It's the humans entertainment.
+IKILLU102 We can't simply re-locate every single animal on the planet to a location that's convenient for you and your kids to visit. Work hard and save up the money and take a trip every-once-and-while to actually see what the world has to offer at that actual location!
Edith have you got any animals even a do or cat if so you should release them in to the wild
We watched The Killer Whale show in Orlando. Thank you for your video!
Why are these creatures in captivity?
Because they were bred there.
Whales belong in the sea not someones pool!
We don't have these in the UK, thought they had been banned everywhere else as well, shocked and surprised to realise they are still about.
I saw shamu do something really cool
Lá pros 14:10 tá tocando Sandy e Júnior. Sério isso produção?
See, stuff like this makes me sick. Don't bother giving me stupid little comments like "shut up" or "don't watch then", it's not going to work. I have my reasons for watching this, just as anyone else has reasons of watching Miley twerk and then say they hate her. I have a voice, and I'm going to use it. If anyone has a problem with that, deal with it. This is really awful, they don't just take them in if they are injured. Oh no, they keep them in captivity so they can preform. Animals can't truly be happy like that, they are not meant to be put through this. I may not know how animals feel, but this is how I feel about it. Great job humanity, you just end up shortening the life spans of many orcas all because of your stupid selfish shows you put them through.
cool thanks
Complaining here won't help. :\
Agreed
mji
hollowghost2 It isn't only complaining. Some people may see some of the comments exposing SeaWorld and other marine parks, and may become more informed. Some people who have come onto these posts didn't realize what SeaWorld was about.
They look perfectly happy to me. All of you complaining about abuse or captivity are insane... there are much bigger problems in this world. I fail to see how the intelligence or lack thereof fails to justify training them and keeping them not in the ocean. Seems to me, other than the smaller quarters, they have a pretty sweet setup. They get fed, they get medical care, they build relationships with their trainers...
EXACTLY!!!!!!
They are happy here, but they would be even happier in the wild, were they belong. Imagine being forced to perform every day and living in a pool with ppl you don't know.
I feel so bad for them
There are having the time of there life dummy
@@theorangedeveloper2963 Dude, are you 6? Those dumb trainer's Etc, captured those Orca's and made them do tricks for ENTERTAINMENT. They belong IN the ocean, not In a tank....
Trainers: Yay Whales! Clap for Whales! Hurray for Whales! Wave to the Whales! We love Whales! Yay Whales!
Whales: This is stupid...
Is Tilinum still being placed in these shows?
tilikum? no. Its been confirmed he has an infection (in his lungs, I'm not sure) they say it's not curable, he doesn't have much more time to live
Yes, Tilikum!!! My stupid phone changed it to that :( But thats so sad to hear. I have been following his story but I haven't read anything about them taking him out of shows. Its all around such a heartbreaking story. I just want to take him away from all of this pain. It truly upsets me because he did at once have a life outside of a cage.
This might be a myth but did you see how the fin on the top was slouching that means there
sad or unhappy. They are seperated from there homes thats why.
ιτs οκ Shαmυ
Heather Arriaga Nope...their fins flop due to gravity. They have no bones in their dorsal so the longer they're at the surface, training etc., they start to bend with heat/gravity and so fourth.
Heather Arriaga it's a myth... They're collapsed because of living in Tiny tanks and not swimming 100 miles a day
Nope there fin means the muscles get weak
I find this new show amazing!!! Caring for our ocean and the animals in it love this new show!!
Very underwhelming
Before Blackfish:
"OMG! DUDE I'M SO GOING THERE SOON! IT LOOKS SO COOL MY CHILD FANTASIES ARE COMPLETED! WOO WHALES."
After Blackfish:
"Omg, SeaWorld? Hell no! They need the orcas to be free! No tank is big enough those poor animalssss!!! LET SHAMU GO."
Conclusion: Blackfish ruined SeaWorld for most.
Blackfish was propaganda disguised as a documentary, and it worked wonders on people too stupid to follow up on new information, who instead take everything as truth
TheKyrix82 yes! Blackfish is retarted!
@@samanthasaccount7993 its not retarded they just manipulated information that was true
Yeah I watched it, but tbh it’s still kind of cool to watch these shows even though Tili-nvm
I went to Orlando to sea world and Disney and all that growing up it seemed like every other year but it was our family vacation every year and it was always super fun
does anyone know of any restaurants that serve whale?
Please don't "dedicate" anything to people like Dawn Brancheau. If people like her truly loved the animals they worked with, they'd bother do a Google search on their history and lives. These "trainers" play stupid for their own selfish sense of purpose and meaning in life. And to those who think that these whales are fine with what's being done to them at these parks, know that you too could be locked up in a bathroom, starved, and then made to do tricks for peanuts.
Oh STFU already. Every medication you take was tested on an ANIMAL first you damn hypocrite. Find something else to bitch about.

I don't want to say it's funny how people make a big deal about how people in Japan still hunt Whales, but I mean honestly, just cause you "feel" that way doesn't make you innocent. Last time I checked, everybody else was pretty much eating everything else out there. So, I take it chickens, cows, etc. don't have feelings or are considered as something to think about every now and then. *cough* Black Rhinos *cough*. So, did I get anyone riled up? Who's gonna "correct" me? I'm not too sure why I felt the need to say this, but, I guess I'll ponder on it while eating my instant noodles. TTFN!
1 - There is no humane way to kill a whale at sea. Chickens and cows can, and should, be killed humanly. (even though some aren't in some places in this world)
2 - We can’t be certain that whale populations can survive large scale hunting along with the other daily threats they face. (Some whale populations can go extinct if Japan keeps on hunting Whales)
EveryDayIsAWeekend chickens and cows aren't endangered.
EveryDayIsAWeekend Most chickens, cows, and pigs are killed inhumanely. They are also stuffed into terrible living conditions, over crowded with poop and deafening noise. A huge percentage of companies claim to raise their animals safely and humanely, a lot of them claim that their animals are "free reign" and happy. The sad truth about farms is that almost all of them are lying.
I think your right but the only problem with Japan they over fish whales, the whale are barely surviving from these hunts , thanks to seashepard( awsome protection group) they have been in the southern ocean protecting this animals from extinction and most of Japan's animals in the ocean are extinct and soon there dolphins will be extinct too cause they kill them and they tried so hard to keep the world from knowing and the cove shows that, so if its really not bad then why are they trying to hide it
I would like to think that the Tsunami was the oceans revenge against Japan.
Love this show!
Is it bad I only go to sea world to ride the rides?
For those of you saying these animals should be released, they’d die almost immediately. As said by most, this is wrong, and I agree, but these animals grew up in captivity. This means that they’ve never experienced ocean life! Even if they were released, they wouldn’t know how to hunt for prey, attack, etc. This is something you guys need to understand! This happens, as unfortunate as it is, these animals are RAISED by humans and would not be able to function alone. They’re not raised by their moms, they’re raised and trained by humans. Accept reality.
Blackfish. You need to watch it.
Its ironic how they show a video of them being free and in the ocean with their family at the start and then they have them being forced to dance around for our entertainment in tiny tanks with concrete walls... I really hate people sometimes
pipsqueak 2008 Do you live under a rock? You do realize they got busted for YEARS of animal cruelty and neglect, which is why they are no longer permitted own orcas. After the their last orca dies of natural causes, they will no longer have orcas.
If she lived under a rock she would not have wifi meaning know TH-cam
Acrocanthosaurus Bro that pipsqueak dude is like 10 he won’t understand that seaworld hurts poor orcas
I find it ironic that you're on the internet like a domesticated human instead of running naked through the forest as a wild human...but still have the gall to bitch about other animals in captivity. You live in the wild, butt naked with no tools, THEN you can bitch
Dogs, cats, hamsters and rabbits were all wild animals at one time. Even if in captivity they are still living their lives just fine with out you losers that hate everything around you. Just don't go to the show. God gave us dominion over everything on, above and below the earth. You are nothing compared to what God wants.
I love that song 😉🐰
How deep does the water need to be in the show pools for the whales and dolphins?
Tillikum was very active in this! This is right after blackfish and Seaworld took a big hit hardly anyone was there but they put on a show like 5,000 people where in the stands. Love Seaworld but orcas are acoustic creatures there poor ears the music is to loud. But glad Seaworld is back to normal. I miss water work shows
tilikum wasnt even in this when this was takin he was in Orlando
I will never fail at being completely amazed and awed at the beauty and intelligence of these animal. I'll really miss the Shamu show after the whales are gone :'( It's such a shame it's going away
This music is really pissing me off
So sad to see these poor animals being enslaved for entertainment
\,ceded dd
Seeing these animals makes me so happy I could literally cry (I am sad Get over it XD). Even in an environment I know is not the best for them. I think even though these shows aren't great they still create a great love for an animal people would otherwise never know about. They help too and we shouldn't forget that, even though there is obviously downfalls I think the species publicity is probably worth it.
***** so being in fresh clean salt water, having a balanced diet, and being cared for is wrong? Having these animals in captivity is helping the whales in the wild cause we are able to understand certain things. So we can watch a human pretty much salve itself over dancing and performing but its wrong to watch animals exercise and show majestic they can be? Doesn't make sense. Sorry but I know tons of people at Seaworld and they take very great care of the whales. Even the trainers parents and came out to say that the documentary was propaganda and pretty much a domestic terrorist. PETA only has one thing on its list without doing proper research. Im for both sides but people need to do their research before having an opinion. Plus tons of animals are stuck because of boats or nets or some other reasons and Seaworld stayed with the manatees for 72 hours until all of them were free here in Florida but they get no credit for that. People research!
Dustin Harper Seeing as you appear so knowledgeable on the subject of orca captivity, perhaps you could answer these questions:
1, Why are there numerous incidents of aggression from captive orcas towards trainers and other orcas?
2, Why did SeaWorld never allow trainers in the water with Tilikum prior to Dawn's death?
3, Why does Loro Parque not allow trainers in the water with their orcas that are on loan from SeaWorld?
4, Why do captive orcas chew on concrete walls of their tank or metal gate?
5, Why do captive orcas self-mutilate by banging their head against the side of their tank?
6, Why do captive orcas regurgitate their food and play with it (and then eat it again)?
7, Is it ok to keep a massive and highly intelligent marine mammal that can swim at speeds of up to 30mph and 'see' up to 10 miles away using their echolocation be put into a sterile concrete tank that is only a maximum of 10 times their body length?
8, Does the transport of captive orcas from one park to another, or to another country (which is at times a necessity) cause suffering to the animal?
9, How can marine parks guarantee captive orcas are placed into artificial social structures with compatible orcas?
10, Why is it captive orcas have to rely on constant enrichment from humans in order to maintain their physical and mental health?

May Shamu Rest In Peace.🪦🐬🐳🐋

What a cruel irony!
Showing pictures of orcas and other sea animals living freely in their natural habitat while these orcas are stuck in a small fish bowl.
What a cruel irony, an uneducated person complaining that people are uneducated
Just came by to read the text wars. I have to say, I'm not disappointed. Live free or die.

Collapsing fins, drilled teeth, rake marks. Kept in TINY tanks. Forced away from their families WAY too young. #SeaWorldSucks

Que música es esa o como se llama..?
Seaworld company will forever go down in history as one with no integrity. Captivity of orca and other marine life for human amusement will forever leave a mark on mankind. One day everyone will realize how truly barbaric we once were for believing the marketing lie that it's "okay" to have these magnificent creatures living this way.
just like it used to be 4 slavery
