Sea World San Diego: Killer Whales

SeaWorld San Diego is a theme park located in San Diego, California. SeaWorld's main attraction is its Orcas, several of which are housed in the 7-million-gallon habitat that is known as Shamu Stadium. Shamu was the name of the first Orca brought to SeaWorld San Diego in the 1960s. 'Shamu' is now used as a stage name for adult Orcas in performances at SeaWorld parks. This video showcases the killer whale show at Shamu Stadium on the afternoon of January 11, 1998.

And if anyone says "Free the Whales" that makes you an idiot.. You free these whales and they die. They have been in captivity for too long to go back.

Now if you want to complain, (C-

@thewhitestknight1 Okay im tired of you anti-captivity people, you should learn more about Killer Whales before you complain, first of all, Killer whales enjoy people, they love performing, they have free will, if a killer whale isn't in the mood to perform then it doesn't. There are 6 killer whales at SWC, and they all rotate throughout the day, so one of the whales doesnt get worn out or tired.
