It's unlikely Orca wouldn't be able to survive in the wild - even captive-bred. And suppose they wouldn't... Would they rather die, having felt freedom, or in a 30 foot deep concrete prison filled with chlorine? That is a hard question, to answer. We do know that captive Orca have killed themselves, brutalized and killed humans (doesn't happen, in the wild!), and even kill their own calves on a fairly regular basis. What does this say about the pathology of the captive? Their lives are torture.
'Orcas who are born in the tank' this shouldnt even be possible..captivity for pleasure..mental torture for entertainment..the most intelligent creatures of our planet enslaved for life..disgusting fucks
i know some people think that captivity is wrong but i dont know what side to be on, set them free or keep them in captivity i dont know im kinda stuck in the middle :(
Orcas who are born in the tank cant be free in the wild because they dont know anything about survival. we can put them in the ocean but with nets for safety, but we still cant be sure about their survival. they dont know the taste of the ocean, they only know the taste of artificial salt water. All in All we humans shouldn't have had taken them away form the first place... then they would have a happy freedom...
Plus, I have been out to see dolphins in the wild! It's FAR better and they are happy to see you as well! I have been out 5 times to see them, they loved it and so did I!
You don't understand what you are doing to these animals! Everybody finds it amazing and comes to see the cruelty of that company but in actual fact, these animals are being hurt back stage if they don't perform the tricks perfectly and when I'm older I will put a stop to this. I have not been to a park like this in 8 years, I only went 1 time, and that's when I understood how bad this cruelty was. You think you should punish the animals, why do you think so many have ended up hurting their tra
Do they really even come near this Islands even once in there lifetime? I think this wonderful animals should be left alone in the oceans they swim! Viva the Orcas
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

*sigh* seriously, you know most of the animals in places like that are brought in because they are hurt or cannot go back to the wild. thats why we dont have many orcas in captivity.
@ShinjteSakura ANd because if there were no animals in captivity, how would anyone learn from, fall in love with, and be motivated to protect them? Because I went to seaworld as a child I STAND for animal conservation. Would that have happened if I had just seen them in a book?
Oh get off ya'll high horses (horses would like to be free too) I will go to sea world and other places like them because I enjoy them. Plus the money they raise goes to research and protection of animals.
I'll bet the majority of you are hypocrites. Why don't you "free" you own pets and see what happens to them.
BOYCOTT seaworld DONT go there, dont give them your money, make them close up shop and release these orcas into the wild ocean. they are kept in tiny tiny tiny tanks many of them, they are only fed when they actually do a trick right, they dont get fed otherwise, its a horrid life, and they'll keep on doing it because you people keep going there
Yes set them free so some whaler can kill them! You clowns. Most of These animals were born in captivity therefore they probably wouldn't survive if set free.
wenn es ihm dort gut geht ist es besser als wenn er im meer stirbt andererseits sollte man was gegen diese scheiß menschen tun die sowas machen einfach wale und delphine töten! oder im netz sterben lassen! WDCS hilft!
I always HATED ZOOS; omg it kills me to see wild animals caged in! and whales; such big creatures are meant to swim the vast oceans not swim in circles all day! im sure whales are social....I DONT BLAME Orcas for killing their trainers!!!!!!!
It's so stupid that in some cases people consider animal abuse, but in cases like this, it ain't applied... just because they are making money out of it.
Everybody who posts hate/anti-captivity comments on these videos need to shut the fuck up and do something if it matters that much to them. These animals don't know what the wild is. They aren't instinctive learners. They need to be taught how to hunt and how to survive, like a human would. These animals are big, and they'd refuse to do tricks if they wanted to. It's not like they're deprived of food if they don't perform, it's illegal.
@seabreeez1 How the hell do you know that's what the whale is feeling? For all we know, it's HAPPY there. Some of these animals were born there and don't know what the wild is. And these whales could refuse to do tricks if they wanted to. I'm not supporting animal captivity, but people seriously need to stop assuming things.
Whales should not be held in captivity. If you think of it, it is in a way a form of animal slavery. We feed them, but they provide for us revenue. And they have to perform. I grew up around these animals in southern coastal Alaska. They are not creatures for our amusement. They are beautiful, and belong in the open sea.
I blame the idiots that go and see these whales in fish tanks. if no1 went then there wouldnt be anything like this... ALLLL whales should be in the ocean where they belong AND the stupid slit eyed chinks shouldnt hunt them either.. I hate humans. and im actually ashamed to be one
How u know shes happy or sad. just to sad she only sings when sum1makes her... In nature the singing is just really beautiful-to awsome to describe but in a small pool just kind of ... Nice
ok how do you ppl know whes sad? for al lyou know she could be happy there. plus she wouldnt know a thing about the ocean if she was born in captivity.
Its a pity it has to be kept there. If only we could educate them to release them, most of the performers care a hell of a lot more about them than some random hippy who thinks they know about animals. No-one (except greedy scum) want animals to live in captivity its just they don't want them to disappear.
You mean crying to get the hell out of that tiny tank!!! Orcas swim 75-100 miles a day in the open water...and not in circles!!! There a days I think that as humans we have not evolved at all.
@orcaholic7 I once saw orcas in the wild and I watched them apear over the horizon and disappear on the other side in a matter of minutes. I don't know how someone can find putting them in that tiny tank humane.
