The Situation Of Marine Mammals In Captivity

This is a short video documentary concerning the situation of marine parks in captivity and explains the tactics and some of the methods used by the facilities who over the years have, and continue to exploit marine mammals in the name of profit.

As former dolphin trainer Rick O Barry explains in the video.

Marine parks should only exist for rendering sick and injured animals back to health, and then re-releasing them back into the wild where they belong; and not about reducing them to performing circus clowns for show.

So please consider not patronizing marine park shows and help to reduce and stop the violent, immoral, and unnecessary capture of marine mammals for show and the undue stress and abuse they endure in captivity.

The only answer to this video is to have an informed public. Similar to us heeding the advise of the Humane Society to spay and neuter our pets, the American public will one day heed the advice of the Humane Society (and others) to boycott any industry which keeps cetaceans in captivity.

I live near a Sea World and I have not been there in years. I would cry when I went and saw how they live. Yes, they can learn human tricks yet they are much smarter then humans. We would kill ourselves yet animals don't know how to. Just like factory farming it ALL must end.

the trainer getting killed by tilly caused me to do some research on this...never realized what a twisted industry this is!

A critical message that must be heard.

Good upload !!!

it's always the prettiest faces that do the worst things. Disney, seaworld, ringlin bros.

underneath that fanciful veneer of childhood fun is some of the worst excesses of greed one could even imagine.

they certainly have a lot of tricks up their sleeve. and can twist and manipulate words so well so that the worst brutalities can sound like great family fun

Awesome vid, thanks! Now I see that Sea World is even sleazier than I ever thought. I didn't think it was possible.

Keep spreading the word!

Sea World is really good at lying...
