You can tell he likes splashing the fat americans. I would pay to watch Shamu slam a trainer into one of those tv screens. He would say the music drove him to it.
I was there a while ago and i was sitting it the splash or soak zone (i cant remember) and i was like what does that mean 1 show later i walk out with a towel soaked to the bone and everyone was like wtf went on in there.
..... Ya see I don't know what to say cause they have people from everywhere come and try and get a job here! I know darn well they care for them because if you actually pay attention they love up on and play with them they love their job! With the big tank they are in and the love they get everyday they are happy and at any moment they could be all
"No I do NOT want to preform today. I'm not in the mood!"
Perhaps u should get some more knowledge on the subject u idiots!! U wanna come live in My basement and i could learn you some tricks you could do to get some threats!!! These animals are not suppose to be held in captivity. It is animal cruelty at it's worse. Watch the cove then you might get a bad taste in your mouth!!
i think you're probably quite young minded and have good intentions, but trust me, you should NOT support seaworld in any way. they want to make cash from these animals not educate people. the orcas co-operation is forced and well-being an illusion, if your serious about these animals organisations like the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society are more serious about helping them.
@candygal989 Yeah i know that, I just think that it is a great message to bring across to people and children but the old format was much more enjoyable and less cheesy. Shamu Rocks is ridiculously cheesy (still good to see though) with the trainers dancing very badly but the music is great
why do the orcas have to perform?? they are 6 ton predatory non-technological sentients and they are captured and sent into captivity and forced to perform. what on earth makes those idiotic trainers think the orcas even enjoy this? perhaps the orcas feel that if they dont perform, they may be abused or whatever. still, as far as i know, there is ONE good thing about seaworld whoever comes here will want to study these animals in the wild to protect the species.
If I was forced to live in captivity and told to do things... the same things every day ... for years on end with little rest, cramped living quarters and shameless corprate brats... I would lash out and probably do something too. I was to SeaWorld and frankly speaking I hated the whole thing. Nature is not meant to be caged and tortured... it is meant to be enjoyed as it is in all its glory.
I much prefer the orginal Shamu Show to the new Believe show. It seems so much more focused on the trainers now when before it was about the amazing animals and understanding their beauty, showing the relationship between man and animal. Now its lost its edge for me, its still fabulous to be able to see the animals though
I'm from Canada, and was visiting Sea World (san diego) w/ Family beginning of this month. I had vision of these animals being in a larger tank than what was on TV, it was shocking. The doplhin interactive display was the worst, it held 15 odd dolphins in 2000sq/f with 5 ft of water. Speaking of dolphins, near their Journey to Atlantis ride they have 2 white/black dolphins in a small tank. Sea World is no charity for sure. They seem to be getting away with lot of animal cruelty issues.
@rajiv20001 i think your find if you do a little bit of research, the whales have a lot more space than you think. there are tanks out of view to the public!!!!!! hat people that put down seaworld and also there are only 2 whales at orlando that are from the wild the rest are captive born and they dont capture them anymore
@rajiv20001 animal cruelty? what about when celebrities wear fur? what about lady gaga's meat dress? what about crocodile shoes and purses? Or people in Japan who kill whales just for fun? I don't hear lots of complains for that, thats animal cruelty. Plus, most of the animals who live in SeaWorld were born there, they were raised in a certain way, they wouldn't survive on the wild now.
@Bazingannie The Japanese do not kill whales for "fun". It is part of their meat industry, and is strictly regulated by their government. They limit the amount of whales that can be hunted each year and work effortlessly in order to prevent the illeagal killing of them. Its shows like "Whale Wars" that give the Japanese a bad name.
Dolphins are intelligent and social creatures that, in the wild, interact with hundreds of pod-mates, hunt communally, and have entire coastlines as their playground. In captivity, all of this is lost. Social partners are restricted to a handful of tank-mates. Captive dolphins are fed dead fish (wild dolphins only catch and eat live fish; they never eat dead fish) and they face a profound reduction in space and stimulation. WSPA =WHY NOT CHECK OUT THEIR WEBSITE FOR SCIENTIFIC FACTS
.....it is engaging in what is known as a stereotypical behavior. For an inquisitive, intelligent creature like the dolphin, a barren tank offers no exploratory stimuli compared to the vast, complex ocean. SOURCE :WSPA (World Society for the Protection of Animals).
Dolphins in the wild may swim up to 40 or 50 miles in a day and can dive to depths of hundreds of feet. Even in the largest facilities, captive dolphins have access to less than 1/10,000 of 1% (0.000001) of the space available to them in their natural environment. Dolphins in captivity are often restricted to swimming in circles. In many dolphins, this behavior is a sign that the dolphin is suffering psychologically; WSPA..........
The orcas are not forced ? Who likes to be trapped into a tank and "positively er reinforced" to jump for a fish ? Humans continue to build coliseums for the "human beings" to be amazed by other species kept as slaves. Want to bet where do they prefer to live: in this ridiculous tank or open sea ? Think a little....
@marcelonagai no the orcas are not forced to do anything they dont want to do. they do not just jump for a fish, they use positive reinforcement when they dont do something right, by feeding them and then do the behavior again. They are not just fed by doing tricks, they get their everyday feeding times, and show food for a little snack, they get exercise and love and care. you cant bet because they dont know what the open sea is, if they were captured from the ocean, then ya you could.
@kingsmonarchsfan10 ... it's incredible i even have to explain u why u are wrong... imagine this to make it simple: u are born in a village, in this village u live in a small house.u never leave it so u will never know anything else. There are some weird creatures that take care of u and another 3 humans. they feed u, they play with u sometimes and they only ask u to do some dancing. Are you sure u would feel like that's ok? u would never wish u could go out? u think thats right? thats the point
@marcelonagai well fortunantly for us....they have no control where they live thats why we "enslave" them....think...humans are king dick of this earth...well some, you seem like a complete pussy!
This makes me sick! Whales travel up to 50 miles a day in the wild. This is torture and all seaworld cares about is money!! Do you really think these creatures want to do tricks for us?? Hell no. Whales are going to keep dying young in captivity! Free Tilly, Free Lolita, Free all of them!!!
Beautiful,isnt he? Ya know,..Why do people think these whales miss the ocean?? I mean,they have never even been in it,nor do they know of its existence in any way.So,..why would they miss it? The whale that killed its trainer was a captured whale,so I can see him getting anger at not being freed once he was healed.Go see the Vid that shows Shamu talking to the Ppls behind the glass.Is he begging to be free once more? I think he was.the authorities should watch that.
Such a sweet ham,..but I have to wonder if he even misses the sea.Due to the fact that he has never even seen it.People post about that,oh how me misses it,but,in truth,he was never there,so why would he miss that? The Whale who killed his trainer had really been a wild animal,captured,or sick,and taken.So it would stand to reason he would want to go home.I just saw a vid where a whale was talking to people behind the glad.Whats that tell you? Please,...help me?
HeHe,he looks like such a sweet ham,..but,I wonder,..since he has never seen or knows what an ocean is,I wonder if he really even misses that? No one says that when they post,but it IS a truth.Most whales dont know the sea.It just happened that the one who killed the trainer WAS a captured whale,and they thought they could keep it in captivity happily,like the others. Now they know better,dont they?
jack they aren't fish they are whales, if you ever shot one of them in seattle youd be in jail for life and all over the news, stfu and get an education before you post about eating a globally protected animal. ive seen all your posts on these orca videos and just the other day you was asking if you could use seals as bait? damn haha you should go back to elementary school sir.
These giant black and white fish are very good to eat. I live right across from the beach north of seattle, and these huge fuckers actually will ride the waves up onto the shore of the beach and eat seals....ON LAND! I know it sounds like a "fish story", but i shit you not, it's true. Well, when they come to on land to eat the seals, they're easy pickens, and you can easily shoot them. You want to use a large caliber. I use a 30/06 and have had good results
So for all you hippies out there, if a whale is born in captivity, then you WANT to send it out in the wild? Obviously if this whale didn't want to do this, it doesn't have too. Thats why sometimes when you watch the shamu show, it's not always shamu, because sometimes shamu doesn't want to perform, so they pick another whale. It's not like they force them to do anything against there will /:
Cheese-tastic!!!!! I've been to see the show twice in Orlando and it is absoloutely amazing. I know these are wild animals but they have been born in captivity so don't know any different
I love the Orcas. Such gorgeous animals, but the whole "Believe" theme of the SeaWorld show was corny. The trainers didn't do much at the one in San Diego.
If you cap a two years wild orca from its hometown ocean of course he'll harm people at any measure, because he stayed two years killing and watching his family and learn from them how to hunt down, etc, but when you get pool offspring that are born in the park, how could they harm human ? this is their new environment, they will just adapt to it, that's why tillikum had to attack and kill some people, because he already had a two years experience in his hometown, thats my point of view =]
How can you force an animal to do tricks and such for amusement?. That is not fair to them imagine what would happend if you did this to a human, it would be written in news paper about that person and how his human rights were stripped from him.
I saw this about 3 years ago. I think it is amazing they can teach the whales to do all this. When I saw this there was a light show in it. I highly recomend going to see this.
Orca's can show their emotion via their fins. If you look at the whales in captivity, their fins are bent over, which is a sign of depression or boredom. You can tell they don't enjoy this life. No wonder there are so many Killer Whale attacks :|
@JezzandChlo By their fins? How can you tell by their fins when they use them for swimming? Also, remember when they tried to release Keiko? He kept up interaction with humans even in the wild, and became depressed when he couldn't.

They treat the whales well and spend a lot of time with them but i do think that it is wrong to hold them there for all their life. its not right on the whales because they dont deserve to live in a small space like that.
@OMFGItsLizzi No, they are called Killer Whales because Orcinus literally means "death bringer" or "of the realm of death".
Perhaps you have not noticed that they kill pretty much anything - great whites, rays, Blue fin Tuna, Salmon, Seals of all kinds, and, of course, Seaworld trainers.
that sucks. I wish all the staff of this SeaWorld could spend a couple of years on those whales' place, to have that "fun" themselves, just to enjoy it to the fullest and to know how it really feels.
when I see it I really feel shame for being a human! how can we be so fucking selfish I wonder??? when they give us meat, we want fur. when we get fur we want entertainment!!! and when we get it all we just want more!!!
I honestly don't know which is worse, the fact that these animals are kept in a 'bath tub' or the fact that there are so many morally superior people on the net talking shit about how cruel it is.
Yes i agree, but there is absolutely nothing YOU can do about it. If you went to the owner of seaworld and started ranting at him/her about how cruel it is, they would say fuck off, cos as long as seaworld is making money off this, it will never stop.
actually they major purpose is to educate society especially for young generation about this amazing creature. It build awareness among society that this creature must be protected. Without exposing this creature to society, people will think that this creature is a monster and people start killing them and we dont want to be tat way. it is the best to educate people especially young generation so they will learn and protect this creature for future and prevent from get extinct.
for people who enjoy this kind of stuff watch the movie the cove, before i watched that i too enjoyed shows like this but cant bear to watch anything like it anymore
These are PETS not WILD ANIMALS. We make them what we want because we're BETTER and SMARTER then all life on this planet. RECOGNIZE and stop being FOOLISH you tree hugging morons.
you are such an ignorant with that crap you say seaworld isnt torture that animals ... we are sharing the same planet and we are part of the nature ...that is a fact otherwise you woult lock at yourself as something better. but that is exactly the way you thing! since the 60ties people train and live with that crteatures.hmmm 50 jears abut a hand full aof accidents ... pay for torture ..do they look torturet to you ? you are form usa arent you ? well do i have to say more torture ... you such an
listen, some of those killer whales do belong in seaworld cuz if no one cappcured them, they would kill us if they didn't have contact with us we can't just go on a boat cuz they would think we are their enemies
such a beautiful show, it's pretty amazing what they can do, we even forget that they belong to the nature and they're being kept in a small pool being forced to do all of that
in some ways this isn't animal abuse. in fact it isn't animal abuse at all. they keep them well fed and taken care of. all of their animals are captive born. they used to take them out of the ocean though. if they release them, the wouldn't know how to survive or get through the real ocean life. the ones who weren't captive born should be released though. but the others just wouldn't know how to survive.
@metridium no man its cool i have like no clue what you were talking about so i waz like "you liiiie" but no offense you just sounded like you knew what you were talking about thats all :)
these sea world shows are amazing but the terrible thing is that these whales will never live in the real ocean. i mean they're not pet fish they are in tanks for christs sake! but i went to this show last year and it was unbielevable. supposedly the whale that killed the women was not born in captivity and had killed people before, so it really is sea worlds fault. if the whale was not born in captivity then they shouldn't take it out of the wild.
@mad91311 That is the kind of comment we need! Thank you! At least your not one of these bloddy people who rant on for days about anti-captivitism on whales! The shows are amazing ! Its jst tillikum who really neeeds to be released!

Yes, it is very cruel to these poor animals that they get a clean place to live with no natural predators to worry about, every meal is guaranteed, on top of all the treats they get from the handlers, not to mention top notch care from trained pros...
Wrightrocket, thank you for this video, it must have been incredible to see this show in person
i would rather watch them in there own inhabitat where they belong not in these small tanks its just not right its not true nature, these are magnificent creatures who are born to travel the deep!!!! waters of the earths oceans maybe now after the attack of the whale trianer r.i.p they cant speak so maybe this is a way of saying enough is enough!!!
Awesome video! These whales are treated so great and with so much respect. I hope every person that has called this "animal cruelty" has not and will never step foot inside of SeaWorld or any zoo for that matter.
This whale has killed three people n the bible say if an animal kills a person it shood be put down n this is not animal crulty they r animal that r being pampered all day n If thrley were sent back to sea they wood day cause they don't no how to survive
The real Shamu who played Willy in the 1993 film "Free Willy" actually did get released from captivity. However he died 3 or 4 years later because of the shock of colder waters and not knowing how to survive.
No, the main reason why the whale killed the trainer was because she did not like Muslims and did not think that 9/11 was an inside job.. That killer whale happens to be a Muslim and he does not think that Muslims are responsible for 9/11.. Period..
Very very cruel. Cant think of anything more inhumane than keeping these animals in a bath tub and making them perform tricks for our amusement. I hope Shamu eats all the keepers.
@36blatimer actually they major purpose is to educate society especially for young generation about this amazing creature. It build awareness among society that this creature must be protected.

@36blatimer totally aggree with you! just lie they have special olympics for our amusement!
no but in all seriousness I really hate it to see the wales like this. they should all be free in the ocean. too bad the whales that was born in captivity would never survive out there....
@36blatimer I agree, but they also give these whales proper food and stuff. Though the freedom would be good, I guess it's pretty well nurtured? Plus. It seems like these whales enjoy performing.
@36blatimer what a horrible wish as a human. these types of shows help people to appreciate the beauties of unknown. these whales are serving their purposes in life. they are well fed and kept. if they be in the ocean now. hha ha.. gulf oil spills. say how crule that is to BP or those whale hunters, why don't you.
@spiceyazn Do you know the atual reason for these whales performaces?here's the reason.They are not well feed at all.They perform because they are hungery and the only time they are feed is during a performance.Most whale die in the dolphinarium because of a variaty stress related illness.If they realy enjoyed doing these things that are so unatural to them they would do it in the wild.whalers don't hunt orca,so this dosn't help. oil spills kill alot more life than just whale.
@moledragon Your an idiot! they are well fed or else Sea World would have been filed for animal abuse. obviously you know nothing about how Sea World treats their animals. they NEVER deprive them of any food. The show food isnt just the only food they get, they are fed on a natural balanced diet that contains everyday feeding times, and show food for an extra snack. WOW your so pathetic, reading that comment made me and my wife laugh so hard. wow, do research before your comment on this stuff.
the incident was just very sad but i agree she shouldnt have been in the water the job is very dangerous i feel sorry 4 the family and sorry 4 there loss she will be missed R.I.P Dawn Brancheau
First of all I read up the whole attack thing that just happened. She wasnt just sitting by the pool with Tilikum she was in there. It was a known rule that no one was to be in the water with Tilikum because of his size and his temperment. She shouldnt have been in the water with him. She knew the risks in the job she has. Another thing is if they were to release all orcas from captivity they would die. The orcas become dependent on humans and then become used to them. Read up on Keiko the whale
@HardCoreProductions2 she wasnt IN the pool with him, she was on a slide-out connected to it. Its just a few inches of water, HE pulled her into the pool by her hair
the recent killing is perplexing, obviously these whales can kill anytime they want, however they live for the attention, and are highly intelligent...is it possbile that tilly was angry, jealous or
How is this perplexing. It's a killer whale! The tricks these animals do in captivity do not represent a killer whale's behavior in the wild. Shamu is a caricature, a sterilized brand created for mass consumption, a sham. Tilikum has given a education on what a killer whale really is... a fierce predator that has no business in a tank performing stupid pet tricks.
because he could have taken her out at anytime!!! that is the reason...it happened after the show, when she was going to leave, if youhave read up on tilly, he is a pretty laid back whale, everyone is making him out to be a killer, do the research...they did not want people in the water because of his size and strength, he is the bull whale, huge! so how and why this happened is perplexing, read up on whales they are smart, BTW I AM AGAINST ALL CAPTIVE ANIMALS USED FOR ENTERTAINMENT
@kalena9999 actually nobody was supposed to get in the water with him, they were not allowed to, she wasnt supposed to be on that slideout with him, it then allowed him to grab her hair.
her hair brushed across his mouth...was that a trigger to grab it? if he wanted to kill her, then why didn't he do it rarlier...witnessess said he was getting ornery like a child, and trainers said that some of the other whales were bothering him, prior to the show
this is sad to me, let these fn animals free. i will never go to those parks or the zoos. to me thats animal cruelty. i will never ever go to those places. i dont eat meat and i dont buy anything that came from an animal. and if any one wants to make a negative comment please watch 'earthlings' and tell all your friends to do so as well.
they are wild animals, their home is in the sea, not in a park! but as long as people are ready to pay animal torture, accidents will happen. and noone can blame the animals for it!
even the very load noises irritate the animal in their natural home theres no such noise, they are not build to stand the human world! naturayl they hunt, breed and travel the ocean! And use their radar!!!these poor slave want to swin fast as they do in the wild but obviouysly they r prisoners ina small aquarium
Whales should not be kept in captivity, they should be set free in the wild where they belong!keeping them in a small aquarium is no different from jail!! It is defying there very own nature as a sea animal as a whale itself clearly they belong to the vast ocean by which they thrive, swin hundreds of miles and live their true nature day by day!!As nature intended it to be!!!!
This video is for enjoyment ! Not anti captivity!

@rajiv20001 animal cruelty? what about when celebrities wear fur? what about lady gaga's meat dress? what about crocodile shoes and purses? Or people in Japan who kill whales just for fun? I don't hear lots of complains for that, thats animal cruelty. Plus, most of the animals who live in SeaWorld were born there, they were raised in a certain way, they wouldn't survive on the wild now.

@Bazingannie The Japanese do not kill whales for "fun". It is part of their meat industry, and is strictly regulated by their government. They limit the amount of whales that can be hunted each year and work effortlessly in order to prevent the illeagal killing of them. Its shows like "Whale Wars" that give the Japanese a bad name.

Dolphins are intelligent and social creatures that, in the wild, interact with hundreds of pod-mates, hunt communally, and have entire coastlines as their playground. In captivity, all of this is lost. Social partners are restricted to a handful of tank-mates. Captive dolphins are fed dead fish (wild dolphins only catch and eat live fish; they never eat dead fish) and they face a profound reduction in space and stimulation. WSPA =WHY NOT CHECK OUT THEIR WEBSITE FOR SCIENTIFIC FACTS

.....it is engaging in what is known as a stereotypical behavior. For an inquisitive, intelligent creature like the dolphin, a barren tank offers no exploratory stimuli compared to the vast, complex ocean. SOURCE :WSPA (World Society for the Protection of Animals).
gally50 1 year ago
Dolphins in the wild may swim up to 40 or 50 miles in a day and can dive to depths of hundreds of feet. Even in the largest facilities, captive dolphins have access to less than 1/10,000 of 1% (0.000001) of the space available to them in their natural environment. Dolphins in captivity are often restricted to swimming in circles. In many dolphins, this behavior is a sign that the dolphin is suffering psychologically; WSPA..........

The orcas are not forced ? Who likes to be trapped into a tank and "positively er reinforced" to jump for a fish ? Humans continue to build coliseums for the "human beings" to be amazed by other species kept as slaves. Want to bet where do they prefer to live: in this ridiculous tank or open sea ? Think a little....
marcelonagai 1 year ago 21
@marcelonagai no the orcas are not forced to do anything they dont want to do. they do not just jump for a fish, they use positive reinforcement when they dont do something right, by feeding them and then do the behavior again. They are not just fed by doing tricks, they get their everyday feeding times, and show food for a little snack, they get exercise and love and care. you cant bet because they dont know what the open sea is, if they were captured from the ocean, then ya you could.

So for all you hippies out there, if a whale is born in captivity, then you WANT to send it out in the wild? Obviously if this whale didn't want to do this, it doesn't have too. Thats why sometimes when you watch the shamu show, it's not always shamu, because sometimes shamu doesn't want to perform, so they pick another whale. It's not like they force them to do anything against there will /:

If you cap a two years wild orca from its hometown ocean of course he'll harm people at any measure, because he stayed two years killing and watching his family and learn from them how to hunt down, etc, but when you get pool offspring that are born in the park, how could they harm human ? this is their new environment, they will just adapt to it, that's why tillikum had to attack and kill some people, because he already had a two years experience in his hometown, thats my point of view =]

in some ways this isn't animal abuse. in fact it isn't animal abuse at all. they keep them well fed and taken care of. all of their animals are captive born. they used to take them out of the ocean though. if they release them, the wouldn't know how to survive or get through the real ocean life. the ones who weren't captive born should be released though. but the others just wouldn't know how to survive.

First of all I read up the whole attack thing that just happened. She wasnt just sitting by the pool with Tilikum she was in there. It was a known rule that no one was to be in the water with Tilikum because of his size and his temperment. She shouldnt have been in the water with him. She knew the risks in the job she has. Another thing is if they were to release all orcas from captivity they would die. The orcas become dependent on humans and then become used to them. Read up on Keiko the whale
