Killer Whales and Dolphins at Seaworld, Orlando :)

[baybeeglamouree]

So pretty:)

[floridagale]

i love this i was at sea world not to long ago and saw both these shows it was amazing and they have plenty of room to swim and if you let them go they will die they are used to being in captivity

[Scoobi823]

yeah poor dolphins (orca)

[Randomfan94]

I love your video 10-10 and to all the haters, we should be grateful that Sea World takes its time and efforts to study these magnific creatures ,so we can learn more about their lives

[XCaitblinX]

I saw this show back in April when I was in Florida, it was the most amazing thing I've ever seen in my life. I looked up at the screen, it said "look into the sky and you might find you've got wings to fly." I took that to heart. Sea World is a really amazing place.

[NatureChasing]

This is grose, I don't know who can watch this and think it's "beauitful" the one orca has a mutilated fin.. Killer whales in their natural habitat cover on aver 100-160 kilometers, do you think they're able to do that in SMALL ass tank?

[FloridaxBelieve]

@NatureChasing , you wanna free them? go ahead.. but they'll all die. they're used to captivity.. you know the film free willy? the real whale used in it was called keiko. they freed keiko after the filming and he died. the moral of the story? DON'T free willy. they're captive now, and no.. it's not as good as the wild.. but the trainers are so devoted to the whales, and performing is stimulating them which is better than doing nothing with them! :)

[PianoGirl091]

@FloridaxBelieve You make some very good points! These dolphins/whales don't know any better than the life that they have at Sea World. If you released them into the wild, they wouldn't know what the hell to do. Also, I would like to point out that though these animals are better off in the wild, captivity has helped us to understand them SO much better. Not to mention that places like Sea World and Discovery Cove (my favorite) make the public more aware of these animals. It isn't ALL bad.

[carderbabe0817]

@FloridaxBelieve very true keiko traveled to Norway on a 870-mile trek for human companionship. He died of pneumonia I believe.

[JoelMcCoy89]

@FloridaxBelieve And also isn't there something in the bible about God putting animals here for our use?

[Shamurocksuk1]

@NatureChasing Would like to point out their fins aren't "mutilated".

@FloridaxBelieve Wonderful footage, nicely editted! Thanks for sharing :)

[TheShamuLova]

@NatureChasing Its amazing to see what people think if they dont know anything... A mulitaded fin! Thats totally normal and even happens in the wild. For example in front of new zeelands coast. Its just because theyre staying longer on the surface and that theres no water drift. The orca does not even notice it

[Oogeyboogielover]

This video made me cry

[mesexibeast]

the animals are sooooo beautiful and intelligent....sigh....its just, you kinda have to feel bad that they are show property, ya know, they dont have a real life, and if they were to be turned free they wouldnt stand a chance in the wild... i sometimes wonder if its truly cruel....:((..... i loveee animals, and i lovee marine mammals especially:) lets praise the whales and dolphins!!! and whatever else performs!! may they be fed extra fish:3

[12quillemall5321]

I was a big shot marketing consultant that received VIP passes for each year, because I advertised the Orlando amusement attraction for free. If you went to Sea World each week and viewed the mammals they seem to have the same attitudes as humans. They seems bored of being the attraction to humans. After awhile, I felt sorry for them. Imagine being trapped in a small room while thousands passed your room staring at you each day. Now imagine if you don't do your tricks, you don't eat.

[jam1037]

After the show is over look at how bored an depressed they look. Prison for the innocent!

[NiniRamenNoodle]

aww i havent been to seaworld in years...

[ultimablaze5]

youd think they would feel real slippery, but they feel kinda like leather, its reli cool

[ellihanx]

this show is amazing i live in england and ive been to florida twice and both times ive been to see this show its amazing

[sophiechocolateshake]

awhhh lush video

[ADancer94]

LOVEEE IT! Dont listen to any of them. they need to see it first :) xx

[FloridaxBelieve]

:D ! xx

[Strawbewwy87]

I absolutely love the Believe show, and the Shamu Rocks. This song is amazing too. =]

[ultimablaze5]

Fun Fact - That water is COLD

[metridium]

Long as we're clear on the issue of Orca not living longer in captivity then yes we're done here.

[FloridaxBelieve]

But I know that it may not be as perfect as the wild.. but look at it like this; no more whales are being captured from the wild and the one's already in captivity will died if they're released.. They're dependant on the trainers and wouldn't stand a chance in the wild now.. Andddd well, at least they aren't neglected, the training provides mental and physical stimulation for them, so we might as well enjoy what's there rather than try and protest against something that won't ever happen

[UlyssesFan]

@FloridaxBelieve

don't try to answer them. they will never understand what happen now. they will stay in the 60s, where the whales live in tiny and small tanks...^^ cute footage, I love this song <3

[metridium]

Various analytical approaches have demonstrated that the overall

mortality rate of captive orcas is at least two and a half times as

high as that of wild orcas and age- and sex-specific

annual mortality rates range from two to six times as high. Naomi A. Rose-PhD-2009

[FloridaxBelieve]

Stop commenting on my videos, i don't give two shits about you and your petty opinions so stop stalking my videos and LEAVE. ME. ALONE!

[knoxrulz]

omg T_T

Your lucky yiou live in america

we brits dont got no whales here =[

And i realy wanna see them :\

and swim with them =[

oh well.

(:

I hope ot see thme soon though... :)

[sophiechocolateshake]

go see them its amazing, and yeah uk sucks for things like this x

[metridium]

As of January 2008, a total of 44 orcas (15 wild-caught and 29 captive-born calves) are held in 12 marine parks in six different countries. At least 136 orcas (killer whales) have been taken into captivity from the wild since 1961. One hundred and twenty (120) are now dead (88%). (An additional male escaped after 2.5 years in captivity. His fate is unknown. Most captives die before they reach their early 20s, yet in the wild, females may live as long as 80 years or more. -WDCS

[FloridaxBelieve]

Again, i repeat.. you commenting on a 15 year olds video is not going to cease captivity.. Now for the last time.. Go away.. Do you understand that..?

[metridium]

Twenty-two orcas have died at SeaWorld parks since 1985:

four were young calves, and the others were in their teens and

twenties. To date, less than 20 orcas are known to have survived

more than 20 years in captivity, and only two have survived

in captivity for more than 35 years. Naomi A. Rose-PhD-2009

[FloridaxBelieve]

That's complete bullshit! They generally survive longer in captivity so at least get your facts right before shouting your mouth off! Look, you leaving pathetic comments on my video will NOT stop captivity; so is there any point?? ..No. :) Bye Bye.

[ultimablaze5]

Block him, it does help lol
