The Real Sea World

HSUS's marine mammal scientist Dr. Naomi Rose, author David Kirby of "Death at SeaWorld," and three former SeaWorld trainers visit Puget Sound and observe resident orcas, to compare their lives with those of captive orcas.

Please do everything you can to get this out to the public. Please keep speaking up for whales and dolphins. Thank you for your fearless courage.

There is NO comparison between a captive life and freedom for these incredible geniuses of the ocean.

I dream of a day when we live them be, to live their lives as they should be lived.

Watching the whales is beautiful. We saw them off the cliffs of Oregon many years ago. We could eaten watch at a small restaurant for lunch.

A Dolphin in captivity is very unkind. Dolphins are mammals with feelings and emotions. They are self-aware, social, complex, and intelligent. Nursing mothers and babies are slaughtered with no mercy or they are stolen for a life of misery confined to small pools in aquariums. No wild animals are being eradicated like the dolphins are being slaughtered in Japan and other parts of the world. Watch THE COVE documentary to learn the TRUTH about Dolphins in captivity.

It is so great to see the Orcas out in nature as they should be! I could only dream of going out and seeing these sights! I just finished reading the book "Death at Sea World" and now have faces to go with the names! What an amazing book! Would be amazing to have all animals set free!

Where was this filmed? I would love to see Orcas out in the wild (without disturbing them, of course).

I should think that pumping them full of anti-depressants gives undeniable proof that the animal is in fact..depressed, aka: NOT happy.. As well as the # of attacks on trainers which are actually quite frequent. I don't think the argument/disagreement is about the state of mind, so much as the fight to remain greedy, either 4 wealth, fame, or self gratification.

SW leads the way in this industry, if SW can be stopped, others will quickly crumble in it's wave of destruction. Hope this helps. :)

I live in Oregon on the coast and we see all sorts of marine wildlife/mammals. How anyone could do this to such majestic creatures is beyond me.

SeaWorld isn't Disney. Disney actually treats their animals well.

Sea world is a fish prison
