I feel bad for the whales but FUCK SEAWORLD I AIN'T EVER GOIN BACK! I mean first containment but it's scary to think that a whale would drag someone to their death. So unless me and that whale grew up together and had no complications I would go near one.
as sad as some people think dolphins in captivity are, they actually have a better life there, sure they dont have as much room to swim, but they are free from predators, have veterinary care, get ample food and they have all day to play knowing they will get food, in the wild, health, happiness and their overall wellbeing is not guaranteed, so stop blaming the aquariums, theyre the ones doing the good deed, they get more social time than in the wild, with trainers and EED's
@ibelong2TayLautner you are funny dolphins are the predator under the sea they can ˚ill shar˚ out speed a whale or anuthing else and they have all food and space in the world so dont give me a shit whit that spech and free animal
@justisnotgood hahahhahahahhhah!!!! they ARE the predator?!?! funniest thing ive ever heard actually! sure they eat fish but certain species of whales and sharks eat dolphins, and sometimes dolphins eat their own species! i highly doubt you even know what EED stands for...
Except Taima did not die of a stillbirth, she died of a uterine prolaspe. Her uterus literally came away from the vaginal wall because her body could not physically support another pregnancy.
These parks make too much money, closing them down is NOT an option at this time. Instead of fighting on youtube, go and educate the masses. Sea World has made people love these animals, me included. If you have the power to convince the masses that the animals we love are suffering, only then will changes be made on how they are kept or if they should be kept in captivity at all. This has been viewed 70,000 times and only 57 comments left most by the same people. A waste of time, imo.
seriously... i love looking at these videos, but i'm so damn sick of the tree huggers preaching their freedom speaches.. bitch all you want, it's never going to change.
@Nuge2008 lol, yeah so if i contributed it would change everything? it takes more than one sweetheart. But obviously, others see it like i do, sooo..? Go be a liberal somewhere else
WOW I hate zoo's and sea world. They are just plain cruel Leave them in the ocean. :( Orcas only live 11 years in captivity while the ones in the wild live up to 60 years CRUEL
@Teamsong1 Keiko was an Icelandic Orca who was captured at the age of 3 or 4. He was born wild, captured, kept in captivity, starred in the popular Free Willy movies. After protests, he was released after much rehabilitation into a Norwegian sea pen. He died of pnuemonia a few years ago.
@Teamsong1 Genetics dictate that captive born whale will be just as wild as it's parents. Just being born in the sea park doesn't negate the fact that it's an animal that has evolved/was created to swim over 100 miles a day in the ocean. There are rehabilitation programs that can teach that whale how to get along in the wild, so that's not a problem. Fact is: Sea parks and dolphinariums are unnatural, and exploitative. Whales are best left where they belong: In the Ocean.
@Teamsong1 The reality is a life of safety enclosed in an artificially salinated pool surrounded by concrete for an animal that travels more than 100 miles a day, and that hunts it's own food is no life. It doesn't matter if they live longer. They live a life of boredom and seclusion. For social animals that's torturous. It's not a new nature religion...it's scientific biological fact.
@Teamsong1 Do you think they're supposed to live as long as they do in the sea parks? I mean maybe Nature has a set life span for everything that we shouldn't be tampering with!
I really dont know taima but just watching her perform broke my heart to know that she is gone and so is her baby. I know she is in a better place with her other friends in whale heaven still performing with her baby beside her.I can tell that she was happy to perform before the birth of her baby.I know she had to been in pain.I also know the trainers wish they could have done more to save her and her baby as well.Sometimes things happen for a reason only god can make it happen.I almost lost my
The fetus was probably in an unusual position due to all the flips n jumps the trainers would make them do for entertainment purposes....Go on a boat cruise to see whales, don't pay to see them trapped in a container for life.
@MsJfoFosho Learn your facts. They do NOT do any sort of tricks with pregnant whales. They artifically inseminate them, and from the day they do that until birth they do not make them do any "flips n jumps" as you put it. In the wild they willingly do breaches, just as they do in captivity. The chance of this happening in the wild was the same as happening at Seaworld.
that fact is so very true not kiddin. but still its sad because i went to sea world to see taima do a few flips and jumps. RIP Taima ill miss u! TT-TT
@coley4evr pregnant females did do tricks. You can see it for yourself right here on youtube, but maybe they have stopped that know (as you say, I hope so)? The "slide-out" with raised tail can kill a fetus - thats a fact (some dolphinariums still even to that trick with pregnant females (orcas and smaller dolphins), maybe not SW anymore)
@coley4evr "The chance of this happening in the wild was the same as at Seaworld" Are you kidding?!
Learn *YOUR* facts... being kept in a highly stressful, restraining environment, being fed food that's been artificially tampered with to keep them from getting ulcers (which they get from said stressful environment)... this and several other factors make captivity NOTHING like life in the wild for these creatures and how dare you compare the two.
@Nuge2008 lol get a life that doesn't involve commenting on things you know nothing about. You have obviously never worked with these whales and cannot comment on their health.
@coley4evr Hmmm, it doesn't take a marine biologist to know these are acoustic creatures and that lots of noise is stressful to them. Also doesn't take one to know that these animals naturally swim great distances in the wild... Restrictive and stressful living environment? That's logical deduction.
@coley4evr Whether I've worked with them in captivity or not isn't the issue. I have seen these creatures both in the wild and in captivity, any human with a brain and a heart should be able to see these animals shouldn't be used to make money off of or captive period...
Seriously?! This isn't about the video it's about the people who can't stop complaining! 1. It wasn't sea worlds fault that the whales died, there were complications in the birth that they couldn't do anything about. 2. Yes they may be in captivity but their being fed and are happy, if they were released now then they wouldn't know how to take care of them selves anyway, along with having to deal with hunters and other predators. 3. These are beautiful creatures and sea world is just giving o
thats why most intelligent anti - caps dont want them to be released but to go to sea pens or at least stop the captive breeding program and let the shows die out naturally.
seaworld has made sure they cant be freed by drilling their teeth down to the gums so they would not be able to hunt if released.
do you mean in the wild - because the wild population has been going up for the last few years. They WILL NOT die out if seaworld stop breading.
And the captive population does not have enough diversity to keep a sustainable population without catching more from the wild or letting them die out - they have already produced two inbred calves - how many more will they create.
@cjgirllol Would you be happy if someone put you under house arrest for the rest of your life? You couldn't go out into the world, you would be under armed guard or with a bracelet around your ankle...as social animals we need contact with our own species. Whales are even MORE social than we are, so keeping one orca or one dolphin to a tank is basically putting them into solitary confinement or house arrest. Since scientists are beginning to find they are very much like us, that's torture.
@wannabedesi With you, as for KingsProduction50, I do hope that she/he has a dose of captivity, you know, for the rest of her/his natural life, and I do hope she/he will eventually adapt :).
@cjgirllol How do you know the complications weren't SeaWorlds fault and that they couldn't do anything about it? How in the hell do you know these whales (who are incredibly acoustic creates) are happy and enjoy performing tricks for loud clapping fans? Oh and the being fed part, they are being fed artificially altered food to keep them from getting ulcers from the STRESS of captivity... Before you blame people for complaining, do your research and find out what we're complaining about!
@metridium not only that but also supporting the killing of thousands of Dolphins in Taiji.. truly sad. End captivity and amusement parks! (Thanks for posting clear and well thought remarks, much love)
@Nuge2008 It's time for the IWC to stand up to the Display Industry... too long have they been catered to under the guise of education, conservation and research. The Killer Whale must be put on the IWC protected species list to prevent future captures, the breeding of captive Orca must cease to allow attrition, and the 1994 MMPA Amendments must be repealed.
@metridium Highly agreed... Although I have to say I feel like the IWC is nothing more than just a front to make it look like something is being done, when all they ever do is just talk. "True change cannot come about from meetings or committees, true change comes from the passion of individuals."

Before marine parks flaunt captive breeding and conservation programmes, the issue
must be objectively examined in its proper context. In order to achieve an honest
evaluation, it is necessary to begin a programme of radical reform. But to date, the
industry is not contributing to conservation through captive breeding; but simply
manipulating its own internal supply of animals for a self-serving agenda.-Jerye Mooney
