To see these incredible mammals in their natural environment, view "Voice of the Orcas". This video is orca play featuring primarily Orca Katina and trainer Jeff Ventre; but also Orca Taima, and other trainers, including M. Simmons, C. Thomas
1) "It's difficult to imagine any real education or science going on in such a circus atmosphere. It can't, really. The underlying message we get as a member of the audience is that these beautiful animals - their dorsal fins and their wild behaviour withered by captivity - are there only to do would-be cute and comic tricks for us, for our amusement.
2)They are deprived of what makes them orcas - their deep, long-lasting extended family life, the 100-or-more-mile daily hunts, and the chance to exercise their clever predator skills. They are forced to spend the rest of their shortened lives with a few other (often unrelated) orcas, unable to do more than circle a featureless concrete pool, and eat dead fish." - Eric Hoyt.
being a trainer must be REALLY hard..but what if one of the stunts goes wrong one day???omg!! i hope that day never comes.. and i didnt realize how deep that tank really is lol..
well a great video! Though I don't get it...was the Sea World trainers just doing a special performance for that day? The whales I am sure didn't get to leave the tank to vote for Obama. LOL! They probably are going to file a whalesuit for not having the right to vote in the near future. Just as soon as Mr. Octopus graduates from law school. LOL!
i miss the old SW shows the new ones are gay as a rainbow
