@dolphinxkayla The resident populations of killer whales off the coasts of WA State and SE Alaska are endangered. There are only about 200 of them left total between the southern and northern communities. People want to get rid of the captive orca industy because of the stress and pressure these animals are put under in a captive environment. Look up the Orca Project on the web for some informative articles on the subject. They present the different arguments and facts there.

Thanks for the images and singing voices. Enjoy the marine life as long it still exists...

The nuclear power plant accident in Japan and the high radioactivity will have a huge impact at the ecological system on the land and sea...

It won't take too long then wind, rain and ocean current will send the radiation around the planet.

Sad but the truth... Stop the expansion and deactivate all nuclear power worldwide and immediately!

Orcas are not endangered. Captive orcas became captive in the first place because humans captured them and separated them from their families. Orcas are only captive to amuse humans. There have been numerous killer whale deaths in aquariums, but people hardly notice because there will always be a new orca to replace them. Shamu isn't the only one with that name, the orca is probably Shamu nr. 100 or something.

@dolphinxkayla - and they even get abused!! I have seen it with my own eyes.

orcas are not endangered and i dont want people to set them free there in better care with humans in an aquerium then being stuck in nets and things like that in the ocean but they are geting fed and everything :]

i do not understand why people would want to free captive orcas.. especially now since orcas are endangered. its ridiculous. good video i love orcas so much but that goes with all animals.

Awesome video. I hope to see more videos like that soon. We must all save the Southern Resident orcas so they can be around for years to come.
