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
thank you for the support that beautiful animals like shamu can stay in
a pool who is much too small! I´m happy there are people like you who
have no sense of what you are doing with buying a ticket for sea world!
But hope you had fun to see orcas in captivity!
