Ok well in my opinion these animals look really happy, most haven't seen the outside world and the others don't care, all they care about is there kids and I think they're happy that they can see there kids NOT DIE. If u really wanna do something for the killer whales y don't u. Get off the comp and go to the pool and be their play thing k
i have been to seaworld several times and i miss it so much i can hardly wait until i go again i have a annual pass.this is a great show and great video.thank you for all these videos.I am getting home sick i want to go.......
not to mention seaworld has far exceeded the contributions to our natural world than anyone making a post on here. My guess is that "most" of these outspoken anti-captives sit in their cozy house and make ''ideological'' comments on youtube. For those of you that are ambitious and make a difference, thank you. Regardless, this is the wrong organization to try and badmouth. No organization is perfect, but when it comes to zoos, they do it right.
i swear to god, all anti-captivity folks do is scour youtube all day for videos like this so that they can't start up the same old back and forth dialogue. They love the smell of their own farts. If the whales could talk and told them "Actually I LOVE MY LIFE, please don't release me to a world where I have no survival training"..the anti-captivity nut would say "No, sorry...you belong out there...even if that means sufferring and death"...
@EvilInAll The year of 2010 is hardly unprecedented for captive Orca deaths in the Marine Parks, unbelievably 21 times, this years four deaths have occurred, equal to or been doubled, three times the figure was tripled! This year makes it 22 times. The display of Orca in the Parks has been a blood bath since day one, it's time to stop the madness... stop the breeding of captive Orca, put the Orca on the IWC protected species list to prevent future captures, and revert back to the pre-1994 MMPA.
@metridium ONE Sea world hasn't captured any since the very beginning(nor other us parks) TWO if you want them to survive in the wild and they die out sea world is the only company with the money, the knowledge, and the technology to do so. your basically telling killer whales to die out....your a smart one learn your facts right before you start blabbering on you tube :)
@josh3096 They haven't gotten anything from the wild themselves because they aren't allowed to. Their capture lisence was revoked for cruel methods of capture. But just because they don't capture the animals themselves doesn't mean that they don't buy or import other captured animals. Or take animals from strandings.
The five Orca to have died this last year were 0 ,12, 21, 25 , 28. The display Industry tells the Public this is normal and is no reflection on their lives in a concrete tank. The violent killings of two Orca Trainers in the last 15 months by a SW related Orca should again raise concerns but the Parks simply brush aside such sentiments, the show must go on.

@EvilInAll There is always a sense of entitlement with the Sea World Cultists.

@EvilInAll Captivity severely compromises their quality of life to
an unacceptable degree, through confinement in minuscule tanks. Such confinement is
often characterised by forced associations, sensory deprivation and adverse intrusion by
visitors. Marine parks can no longer justify their captivity under the false premise of
education, conservation and research. Today's society is sophisticated enough to
recognise these facilities as aquatic circuses. Jerye Mooney-WDCS

It seems clear that breeding Killer Whales in captivity is being done only for continued
profits and has nothing whatsoever to do with maintaining populations
suitable for reintroduction. - Dr. John Hall Ph.D.

@josh3096 Marine parks have shown no more interest in conserving marine mammals' natural habitats than they have in educating audiences. In fact,
the industry has actively lobbied to keep small cetaceans, such as orcas and dolphins, outside the jurisdiction of the International Whaling
Commission (even though this would help protect these animals in the wild) because they don't want to risk not being able to capture
additional animals in the future. -WAF

On August 1, 1991, a resolution was submitted by petition at the American Veterinary
Medical Association (AVMA) annual meeting. Signed by 163 AVMA members,
‘Resolution 13' opposed the further capture of free-living cetaceans. The resolution
received a presentation by the petitioner and an opposing argument was presented by
a contract veterinarian from Sea World. No further discussion occurred and resolution
13 was defeated (Thatcher, 1992). -Jerye Mooney 1998
