Yes, both sides make good points; orca's shouldn't be in captivity but once they are, there's nothing that can be done. The ocean is a dangerous place for them; all the whalers out there, oil tankers... humans that are ruining their environment. Places like SeaWorld can act as a safe haven for them
No one knows what they're really saying. Until we develop a device that can do inter-species communication we can't tell what they are saying. Places like SeaWorld are wonderful; they give us the opportunity to learn about these magnificent creatures and how to help preserve their natural environment, but yes... animals should be free; without the chance of becoming a whale kabob
Let them out. That´s so fucked up. Try being kept captive in a room for 1 day. One day. And dare say it didn´t suck. Try 2, 3, how long before it´s a nightmare. Heartless assholes.
awww he's so cute!!! I hate anti-captivity comments....it's hurtful to seaworld and me because i work there and all the whales that we have at seaworld are happy!!! :)
LET THE DAMN ANIMALS OUT! WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE TO IMPRISON THEM??? How about we lock you damn money-makers in the ocean on a small ocean isle??? They have their own societies, families and feelings!
Listen people. Most of the first orcas in captivity were rescued from the wild. And you can't stop them from mating so they mated in captivity. Putting their young into the wild after being born into SeaWorld would be more cruel because they wouldn't know what to do because they have already adapted to living at SeaWorld. SeaWorld is a great place for people to understand that we all share this world and making connections with animals is essential. Troll me all you want, I love SeaWorld.
@kidatheartxo16 I listen to you, if you agree to get locked up for the sake of studying, and showing other humans, what it´s like to see a human locked up. Say you were getting something in return. What is enough to convince you to stay in captivity away from family, and your friends, your society?. They are not so different...
@Regulification He isn't away from his family! He was born there by his mother and father who live there too. Anytime that whales that were taken out their habitat and put into captivity was over 30 years ago. All the whales living today are the offspring of that generation. What was done 30 years ago was bad, but we can't change the past. And putting calves and their mothers back in the wild would be wrong because they would surely die.
provlem whapes were born in captivity and copy what mothers do who were also born in captivity. they know nothing about hunting for themselves. they would if released follow people around and get hit by a boat or something.
@buddyrain100 or they would follow boats with people which would get them hurt or cause problems in harbors. They can't live without people at this point. People need to stop "wanting them free", not because they don't deserve it, but because it's a death sentence to them. Plus the babies don't know what the ocean is!
Orca is a social animal_he just wants to talk with some other orcas, about freedom, about deep blue ocean, not with those "two-leg-walking", who only wants him to "do this" or "do that" for a few dead little fishes_i would like to watch all of you, imprisoned like this, doing all htey said you to do, and without someone who really understands you
LISTEN YOU F***ING ASSHOLES!!!!! NAKAI WAS BORN IN CAPTIVITY AND HE'S NEVER BEEN TO THE WILD!!!!! HE WOULD DIE IN THE WILD!!!! SO STOP LEAVING THESE FUCKING COMMENTS! ALSO, THIS PERSON CLEARLY GOES TO SEAWORLD SO DON'T PUT ANTI CAP COMMENTS!!!!!!!! YOU FUCKTARDS!!!!
@NatalieB1231 Dude, Rick O'Barry, Earth Island Institute and similar people/organisations have the necessary experience to (re)introduce these animals to the wild.
Oh and just chill out and take life easier, bitch :-)
@NatalieB1231 Bottom line is, there should never have been any killer whales in captivity to begin with! Okay we may not be able to help those were born in captivity, but to continue breeding them is ridiculous! Just because they don't know any better doesn't make this any less wrong! Money, that's all they fucking care about.
Well seeing as most Shamu's are born in captivity I seriously doubt that he wants to go back to the wild seeing as he has never been there. Even if he was released he would probably die after a few days.
@DoveDancing Wow. Calm down. Most of these orcas are born in captivity. Most have no relatives or friends in the ocean. If you put a captive bred orca in the ocean it'll die.
I've got no issue just leaving these amazing animals alone, let them enjoy nature as God intended. Although I understand that humans from past generations hurt some animals, making them endangered. But I've been to Seaworld and would not go back just because these creatures should just be left in nature. Just my 2 CENTS, nobody freak out
@reptilerouge Yeah let's take him back to the ocean so he can die like every other whale because he's not accustomed to the environment anymore.
No, this is the best place for him NOW. Maybe not the best overall, but it's what we'll all have to live with. Just swallow it. It ain't as bad as you make it out to be.
pobre animal, está gritando de tristeza y dolor, harta de la gente idiota que cree que tenerla prisionera es gracionso. Es una falta de respeto absoluta y despiadada tratar a estos magestuosos y formidables seres como payasos de circo. Tienen tanto que enseñarnos y sólo apreciamos lo que las "enseñamos a hacer" por trozos de pescado
Those are not the same sounds that willy made. Willy was crying not trying to interact with someone. I would've never seen a live killer whale without sea world. Have any of you all been to sea world? If not how can you possibly judge them based on false facts and videos without going there yourself ?. Without parks we would not have known these amazing animals. You can give a pet 5 star treatment and its right yet give a beautiful animal 5 star treatment and it is wrong. unbelievable. THUMBS UP
@buddyrain100 The fact that it entertains people to see these animals up close is no excuse to keep them in captivity. In the wild, they can travel over 100 miles a day, live in huge family groups, and have freedom. Putting them in a tank and having them do tricks is not exactly respectful of the animals, and saying that this in any way compares to their natural life is ridiculous. Focusing on the animal's quality of life, it is clear that seaworld is wrong.
@buddyrain100 You just compared them to "pets." They're not pets. Typical pets like cats, dogs, bunnies, etc. are not as out of their element in captivity as cetaceans are. I have been to Sea World, and really, it's not the only way to know an animal. Being in those tanks are detrimental to their health. They are able to swim for miles and miles in a day alone, and can't get the same amount of physical exercise in those tanks, not to mention the effects the concrete has on their echolocation.
@IrukunTheTuna Although some of the animals at seaworld are raised in captivity, there are others that are rescued. Unfortunately we have not realized how important their natural environment is to them. Any animal will adapt but when you force them into a cage...rebellion will come.
@buddyrain100 What a load of bollocks! Do you even realise how unbelievably selfish that makes you? Wow yeah, how great for you that these poor animals are kept in these ridiculous tanks just so you could see one up close. You want to see an orca? There are plenty of opportunities, boat trips that allow you to see them...in the wild!
@buddyrain100 instead of being a lazy fuck and going to a "park" to see animals, how about you go and see them in the wild? btw they don't get 5 star treatment. they get kept in tanks with just enough room to live but not enough room to have a lot of freedom. its like being locked in your room for your entire life
@buddyrain100 True, but just think this one through, this Shamu is probably one that was born in captivity and given the name, to cover up a dead whale.
That's what these parks do, they keep replacing dead whales with a new one that looks similar, give it a name, and send it off to work at shows until their death comes.
Yes, these whales are BEAUTIFUL creatures, yes, Seaworld looks like a fun park, but if you wanna see orcas HAPPY, I say go on a whale watching boat.
@buddyrain100 Bitch Please. that's why we have National Geographic.
i dont need to go to parks and eat whale meat while i watch them performing. or go to sea world just to say "oh so this is what Orcas look like" I bet you're one of those people who still think that white spot is their eyes....
How in the world can they be in the ocean? The baby orcas you see today copy their mothers. Those mothers copy their mothers and so on. No hunting or survival skills are included. They have a very strong bond with their trainers. Like when you teach your pet a behavior you form a stronger bond. Tilicum is 34 years old and 2 tons. That is an old and is not releasable. I do want them in the wild but you have to think if they do have the ability to live. Unlike keiko who died.
Unbelievable, that there are still people out there visiting dolphinariums, and are showing these horrible videos.
Haven't you learnt anything of Rick O'Barry, the former Flipper-trainer?
Showing this video means, you support these profit-greedy people earning money with this poor animals living in captivity and suffer every single second of their life.
You know what, it pisses me off when some people say 'these Orca's would not survive in the wild if we set them free' Yes, a vast majority probably would not. But that doesnt mean we should carry on treating them like this by making them do summersaults whilst the 'venga boys' are playing in the background its cruel These animals should be moved to a enviroment that allows them to live more like wild orca's, they wil still be in captivity so they will be safe, but they'll be so much more happier
Actually this is a female Killer Whale, her calls are like that of her mother who was a member of a southern resident pod. She cannot, nor any other captive bred, killer whale or any other cetecean be released to the wild, they will not be able to fend for themselves and will not be adopted by a pod. What you see in Free Willy is fiction, what happened to Willy in the movie will not happen in real life. Ask a trainer, they will tell you the same thing.
According to the standard phylogenetic tree, whales are known to be the descendants of terrestrial mammals that had hindlimbs. There are many cases where whales have been found with rudimentary atavistic hindlimbs in the wild. Notably Kyoquot station, Vancouver island 1919 case . For super books about nature & science try, ' The greatest show on earth ' & ' Unweaving the rainbow ' by scientist Richard Dawkins, also try PZ Meyers, Pharyngula, Talkorigins, Truth-saves.
What I would suggest is NOT GOING TO SEAWORLD in the first place - this is just supporting the catching (and killing) of even more whales. See "The Cove".
but do you really want to keep a whale that killed a human in sea world? let him free he will learn how to survive if he does not there's nothing we can do about it the human race is more important than any sea creature and all you die hard animal loving fans sorry to offend you but think if that dead person was you or your family member would you like that?
@FlyAJay its not killing him and if he was release he wouldn't survive because he was not taught how to survive in the actual OCEAN. he is fine so get yourself a tampon and get over it.
wow ... this is horrible .. how can seaworld use poor animals like this for money...
thumbs up if u think its BS HOW THEY R STILL LETTING TILIKUM in sea world ... that was a great example of y these beautifull mamals shld be in the ocean
@michendo Richard O'Barry once said 'A dolphin's smile is the greatest deception. It creates the illusion that they're always happy.' Safe to say this applies since the orca is part of the dolphin family. I highly suggest you watch the movie 'The Cove.' These animals are not happy.
thats so sad,,, people take a wild animal, put it in a huge cage and use him for money ... he wants to swim in the ocean like his family are prob doing... sea world freaks out when a trainer gets hurt or even killed... but its ok for them to trap him... hes all by himself... people need to get a lifeee... video is amazing but that saddddd!
Translation: "...AND FIRE SHALL RAIN FROM SEA AND SKY! Heed my words, puny landswhales. OUR EMPIRE SHALL RISE AND YOURS SHALL FALL! GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!"
@XWickedxJester18X wow your orca mind reading skills are FAIL! Nakai was born there, he is with his mother and family pod. Way to go with that anthropomorphism. You should get a job with Miss Cleo!
LOL all you anti-cap people are hilarious! Let's set him free even though he was born here! He misses the ocean even though he's never seen it before! He's crying even though this is the call his pod uses! Hahaha you guys crack me up!
@orcasound79 So you're ok with seeing an animal in a tiny pool performing tricks for you, like some sort of deranged, brainwashed circus animal? It doesn't matter if he was 'born there.' This is giving people the wrong idea; teaching children that it's okay to use animals for personal amusement and keep them in confined areas. Gee, I WONDER why Tilly killed her trainer...
@Isaac8jasper8 Releasing a creature that was raised in captivity to the wild would be terrible, they'd be weak and likely be hunted, or unable to hunt and starve, within a very short period of time.
@deviant3232 I'm glad someone is educated. While it isnt fair for such a large animal to be kept in captivity, if thats all the animal has ever known it would not be a successful release.
@deviant3232 Exactly and they're so much happier in captivity. They are treated basically like royalty and really loved. They don't even have to hunt for their food because its given to them. xD They also live longer in captivity. :) As long as you treat them right and give them a lot of love I'd say captivity would be best.
@abusehater101 You know fuc all The average lifespan of a orca in captivity is round about 7 yrs their lifespan in the wild is round about 35 So shut up you know no facts Also these animals ENJOY hunting and killing their own food they have natural instinct and it stimulates their brain when they do so In the wild they can swim for miles a day they are in their natural habitat, In captivity the are kept in a large swimming pool and made to perform everyday They are so much better off in the wild
@94CHL Uhhh... no. Actually they do live longer in captivity. They do enjoy themselves in whatever situation because its all they know and if they're treated right they WILL have a good time.
Why don't you explain yourself then on why its okay to have cats, lions, dogs, or FISH. Goa ahead this should be great. - .-
@abusehater101 No they don't, its a fact there life span in captivity is much shorter than it would be if they were in the wild. Look it up, its a fact. Also, many of these whales/dolphins have committed suicide due to stress etc, as they cant cope with there lifestyle. Dolphins get ulsours etc, because they are incredibley sensative to sound, and hearing the crowd roar everyday is incredibly stressfull for them. They do not enjoy life in captivity, i assure you that now.
@abusehater101 Cats/dogs are ok to keep as pets as its in our ability to care for them. We are able to give to them what they got out of the wild if not more. Lions, etc i believe it is wrong to keep them in captivity aswell, they are wild animals and should be in the wild. But at the end of the day most lions are kept in safari parks which resembles there natural habitat. As most of these lions would not survive in the wild, but aslong as they are kept as wild as possible then it is okay.
@94CHL Well then as long as a whale is kept as wild as possile its okay. How do dogs have more as pets than in the wild? In the wild they can run long distances and hunt for their food which is natural instinct and stimulates their brain. You really contradict yourself
sounds like he/she is farting!!! XD

@buddyrain100 instead of being a lazy fuck and going to a "park" to see animals, how about you go and see them in the wild? btw they don't get 5 star treatment. they get kept in tanks with just enough room to live but not enough room to have a lot of freedom. its like being locked in your room for your entire life

@buddyrain100 True, but just think this one through, this Shamu is probably one that was born in captivity and given the name, to cover up a dead whale.
That's what these parks do, they keep replacing dead whales with a new one that looks similar, give it a name, and send it off to work at shows until their death comes.
Yes, these whales are BEAUTIFUL creatures, yes, Seaworld looks like a fun park, but if you wanna see orcas HAPPY, I say go on a whale watching boat.

@buddyrain100 Bitch Please. that's why we have National Geographic.
i dont need to go to parks and eat whale meat while i watch them performing. or go to sea world just to say "oh so this is what Orcas look like" I bet you're one of those people who still think that white spot is their eyes....
oh the life ....

How in the world can they be in the ocean? The baby orcas you see today copy their mothers. Those mothers copy their mothers and so on. No hunting or survival skills are included. They have a very strong bond with their trainers. Like when you teach your pet a behavior you form a stronger bond. Tilicum is 34 years old and 2 tons. That is an old and is not releasable. I do want them in the wild but you have to think if they do have the ability to live. Unlike keiko who died.

Haven't you learnt anything of Rick O'Barry, the former Flipper-trainer?
Showing this video means, you support these profit-greedy people earning money with this poor animals living in captivity and suffer every single second of their life.

You know what, it pisses me off when some people say 'these Orca's would not survive in the wild if we set them free' Yes, a vast majority probably would not. But that doesnt mean we should carry on treating them like this by making them do summersaults whilst the 'venga boys' are playing in the background its cruel These animals should be moved to a enviroment that allows them to live more like wild orca's, they wil still be in captivity so they will be safe, but they'll be so much more happier

Actually this is a female Killer Whale, her calls are like that of her mother who was a member of a southern resident pod. She cannot, nor any other captive bred, killer whale or any other cetecean be released to the wild, they will not be able to fend for themselves and will not be adopted by a pod. What you see in Free Willy is fiction, what happened to Willy in the movie will not happen in real life. Ask a trainer, they will tell you the same thing.

According to the standard phylogenetic tree, whales are known to be the descendants of terrestrial mammals that had hindlimbs. There are many cases where whales have been found with rudimentary atavistic hindlimbs in the wild. Notably Kyoquot station, Vancouver island 1919 case . For super books about nature & science try, ' The greatest show on earth ' & ' Unweaving the rainbow ' by scientist Richard Dawkins, also try PZ Meyers, Pharyngula, Talkorigins, Truth-saves.

@michendo Richard O'Barry once said 'A dolphin's smile is the greatest deception. It creates the illusion that they're always happy.' Safe to say this applies since the orca is part of the dolphin family. I highly suggest you watch the movie 'The Cove.' These animals are not happy.

@orcasound79 So you're ok with seeing an animal in a tiny pool performing tricks for you, like some sort of deranged, brainwashed circus animal? It doesn't matter if he was 'born there.' This is giving people the wrong idea; teaching children that it's okay to use animals for personal amusement and keep them in confined areas. Gee, I WONDER why Tilly killed her trainer...

@Isaac8jasper8 Releasing a creature that was raised in captivity to the wild would be terrible, they'd be weak and likely be hunted, or unable to hunt and starve, within a very short period of time.

@deviant3232 Exactly and they're so much happier in captivity. They are treated basically like royalty and really loved. They don't even have to hunt for their food because its given to them. xD They also live longer in captivity. :) As long as you treat them right and give them a lot of love I'd say captivity would be best.
abusehater101 4 months ago
@abusehater101 You know fuc all The average lifespan of a orca in captivity is round about 7 yrs their lifespan in the wild is round about 35 So shut up you know no facts Also these animals ENJOY hunting and killing their own food they have natural instinct and it stimulates their brain when they do so In the wild they can swim for miles a day they are in their natural habitat, In captivity the are kept in a large swimming pool and made to perform everyday They are so much better off in the wild

@94CHL Uhhh... no. Actually they do live longer in captivity. They do enjoy themselves in whatever situation because its all they know and if they're treated right they WILL have a good time.
Why don't you explain yourself then on why its okay to have cats, lions, dogs, or FISH. Goa ahead this should be great. - .-
abusehater101 4 months ago
@abusehater101 No they don't, its a fact there life span in captivity is much shorter than it would be if they were in the wild. Look it up, its a fact. Also, many of these whales/dolphins have committed suicide due to stress etc, as they cant cope with there lifestyle. Dolphins get ulsours etc, because they are incredibley sensative to sound, and hearing the crowd roar everyday is incredibly stressfull for them. They do not enjoy life in captivity, i assure you that now.
94CHL 4 months ago
@abusehater101 Cats/dogs are ok to keep as pets as its in our ability to care for them. We are able to give to them what they got out of the wild if not more. Lions, etc i believe it is wrong to keep them in captivity aswell, they are wild animals and should be in the wild. But at the end of the day most lions are kept in safari parks which resembles there natural habitat. As most of these lions would not survive in the wild, but aslong as they are kept as wild as possible then it is okay.
94CHL 4 months ago
@94CHL Well then as long as a whale is kept as wild as possile its okay. How do dogs have more as pets than in the wild? In the wild they can run long distances and hunt for their food which is natural instinct and stimulates their brain. You really contradict yourself
