Baby killer whale in tank at Sea World

Here is a baby and adult killer whale in a very shallow tank at Sea World. The adult is pretty lifeless, as all their killer whales were. The baby calls several times but the glass prevents you from hearing it.

you wanna see how orcas truely behave, go into a boat, go out to the oceans await to see one ( where they obviously migrate through), the tub they are swimming in is pathetic and takes away their natural means of communication with their pods and with their mates. Sea worlds, circuses and zoo are a waste of money and anyone buying tickets to places like this are condoning the imprisonment of these species that are not put on the planet to entertain us.

It's Ulises and Kalia

@arwenpandora Not everybody has the money to do that.

@thedevilsson2009 Lol oh yeah clearly they do, because when I walk around my barren house (that I'm locked up in 24/7) I smash my head off the ceiling... Oh no I don't because no ones forcing me to live in an environment that's too small for me. But that's what's happening to captive cetaceans... But they must live better than I? A Sovereign being that can come and go as I choose. Get your facts straight and stop being ignorant.

As you can tell from my own channel and Facebook group, I agree wholeheartedly.

@stiglaa No, it's not anything like the wild, and I agree: whatever they could do to make it more natural (I'm voting on, instead of putting money into huge, gas-guzzling roller coasters, they should expand the pools). And no, I do not work for SeaWorld.

@hateseaworld I keep the shamucam up on my computer all day, and I've seen all of the whales in there at pretty equal proportions. However, you are free to have your opinion as I am free to have mine, and all I ask is that you respect that.

@hateseaworld

Thank you. Compared to the depths these fine mammals can dive too, these pools of death are a disgrace.

Its all for the Dollar, and it makes me feel sick.

I have filmed them and swam with them in the wild, and this Seaworld is just a money grabbing operation, as all their ilk are also.

And do not, anyone, tell me of the research programme or Breeding programme that everyone chirps out to defend this disgrace.

@stiglaa

Well said.

@arwenpandora

I am with you, I find these places a disgrace, and a disgrace for money grabbing humans involved. I know they will shriek "But we have a breeding program or we are helping with research".

My answer is you cannot collect research from captive Orcas, Dolphins or Seals. As for a breeding program, their rate for breeding is abysmal, but their buying of stock is huge.

A 30 ft deep man made pool is seen as adequate for a mature Orca, I have swam in deeper pools.

@KaliaRising

Wow, so like the ocean depths then?. 30 ft deep, gosh, how nice that must be when the Orca feels the itch to dive. I as a human has swam in deeper man made pools than you have given for an Orca.

I will leave you to think whether you think its right or wrong in your heart to keep these mammals as they are kept.

But at a guess I would say your pay cheque is in someway to do with this place.
