Former trainer blows the whistle on SeaWorld 

I'm going to "like"this but I'll be #52.... given your post I kinda hate to do that.

@@shihtzusrule9115 Lol I don't even remember writing this comment.. anyways thanks for liking it

LETS DO THIS

Sadly the killer whales wont be able to survive in the wild because they havent learnt any skills in hunting and wont be able to

@@ethreat1477 yep

How long do you think whales born in captivity and don't have half there teeth will survive in the ocean?

@@FilipCordas their

Andrew Patrick They did that with the whale in free Willy. The orca who starred in that movie was a real captive orca. He spent a few years in a ocean water pen to learn how to hunt and feed, them they let him go. He went straight to a human populated area. Later, he died of a lung infection. Orcas raised in chlorinated water don’t have the immune system strength to survive in the ocean. Each pod has its own language, so a freed whale can’t join other orca pods.

Onyx Mystique welp, that’s a reason to not own them in the first place!

Onyx Mystique yes finally someone who knows what they are talking about.

You don't see several baby orcas dying in succession due to bacterial infection, either.

@GermanMartin MB AMEN

GermanMartin MB you’re so lucky 🥺🥺

@@pyroshayniac1090 Yes you do many animal babies die from bacterial infections in the wild even today with humans it happens.

Funnily

You know if SeaWorld ever became a non-profit those whales might actually be able to live in luxury instead of profitability.

Well so glad the more these videos surface the more people go to seaworld to show support for the park. Way to go yo yos

Never.

Cat W I’m a republican and I oppose sea world because it’s wrong. What gives you or any one the right to imprison wild animals ? It’s wrong

The definition of Sea World........... They are cruel, sadistic and inhuman. The people who invented Sea World it's all about profit, it's about greed. How much that they can rake in at the end of the day, and while they are counting their blood money their employees are dead, and the beautiful creatures of the Sea float in a small pool in captivity depressed and full of rage. Poor Milly was savagely stripped away from his mother then was put in a cage given small amounts of food just because he didn't do his tricks right. He was forced to give up his sperm to impregnate the other whales. Then on top of everything else he had no where to swim to to get away from the killer FM whales from hurting him! He never had a chance in life to experience what it would be like to be free....Just to be himself......A killer Whale. Ok, now I am really depressed and so sad! No more like really mad!

Well said. Very well said

@Playfulpanthress starve the owners like they starved the damn whales and dolphins for what to be a damned Circus Act

@@eli.abethh5052 👍👍Exactly

😂😂😂😂😂

or break a human and make it do stunts for food. Totally agree with your comment tho

William Parker to an extent is an understatement. They are depressed, miserable, and even killing themselves. These whales literally commit suicide in captivity

Yeah. They burst out of the matrix for a limited time.

They are mammals just like us, we as humans talk about mental fitness yet we don't treat other species the same. Even with dogs we see similar behavior to us. If an animal is being oppressed from its natural behavior. it's either gonna act out aggressively from time to time or it will suffer health wise.

@nope nope none of the orcas at any of the SeaWorld parks remember being "kidnapped from the ocean" that was 50+ years ago when SeaWorld took orcas from the wild, those whales have passed away. All of the orcas currently at SeaWorld have been born in captivity.

@@arcillabration7354 that's still very sad!! Animals are not your entertainment!! Please find somthing different for your enjoyment!! Its cruel and wrong

I just watched Blackfish this evening. When the mother is crying out for her baby that was taken, I simply couldn't hold back the tears.

These workers are just as disgusting as the owners. They also made a living out of the whale's suffering and they knew what happened behind the scenes.

@@johnanthony2333 Same here. It's so sad. And it's disgusting what they've put these whales through

@@johnanthony2333 Hope you do not drink dairy. Calves cry for their mothers and mothers cry for their calves when they are separated at hours old.

@@yosemite735 dose that make it right?

They're is also a problem with whale watching and other activities of the sort, as boat motors and propellers create underwater noise pollution that negatively effect the sea life.

I'd just go there for the rides. They have alot of good roller coasters, or just go to Busch Gardens or any theme park without any animals (Animal Kingdom doesn't matter).

Arcillabration I’ve been whale watching. The whales came right up to the boat and were showing off. And then they left when they felt like it. Big difference.

I like the safari “zoos” where the humans are in the caged car observing animals in the wild that are free now there may still be potential problems with this concept but it’s a great start to out of the box ideas to help humans not be so destructive to other species

@Lowkey Loki Not really, a scuba dive costs around 25 dollars.

They infact do not do this. The water is pumped straight from the ocean. SeaWorld San Diego literally gets their water right from the bay that it sits on.

Arcilla Edwards lmao ocean water is not crystal clear and will grow algae and yet this water is like a pool. The worker himself said it was chemically treated and just by using logic and your eyesight you can see its also not untreatedwater

@@breathoffreshair7795 the water is not chemically treated in a way that is harmful to the animals, it is cycled with an ozone process to a degree where the animals are not contracting/being exposed to any harmful pieces of bacteria and things of that matter.

Arcilla Edwards regardless, sea world is trash. they know that these animals are stressed living the way they do, but all they care about is money. they need to be shut down.

Arcilla Edwards chemically treated or not, they’re still held in tiny tanks! And not every sea world is like San Diego’s either.

We went to SeaWorld twice as a family. We saw, "Blackfish", we havent gone back. These documentaries and truths are helping.

Once I found out the truth, I stopped going. Even though I've wanted to take my daughter I refuse to support it. I would love to go back once things change. But I don't think they ever will

@@sassygirl4728 pretty pathetic that you needed a documentary to realize that, do you need a documentary on slavery aswell to know it's bad, do you have to watch a rape to realize it's unlawful? Naiveness breeds ignorance, congratulations

A C you guys are still on this. Is 2019 and y’all still talking about SeaWorld orcas. Damn leave SeaWorld alone. They already got some new roller coasters coming out. Lets talk about that

Morgan Lanier you can’t ignore slavery! These whales belong in the wild not locked up! People who don’t condemn this problem is the problem! We need to be shutting seaworld down ! SLAVERY IS ILLEGAL

Koral Lidtke i understand they are locked up, but am just saying why bringing this up now knowing that they already discuss that sea world will not have any more whales. That’s why their are building new roller coasters. And no sea world should not go out of business. They have good roller coasters. Once they get rid of the whales, is now going to be a six flags with no whales. Be patient because the whales are leaving and they can be set free!

Morgan Lanier they’ve put so many animals in pain they need to be shut down

Koral Lidtke This isn’t slavery lmao

It’s almost impossible to let the ones in captivity free now, they wouldn’t survive. But we shouldn’t take any more out of the wild for the purpose of entertainment

Dani Equestrian if they were released together they may have a chance at survival. And if they do die, at least they got the freedom they deserved.

@@aurevoir7364 Yep...Atleast they would be free for a bit..and lose the pain

It would be best to build a big pool that mimics their natural habitat(or keep them in a huge enclosed area in the sea??? Like building underwater fences...idk

I lost my umbrella orcas are long range whales and they move long distances every day, any enclosure would be bad for them

You have to take into account though HOW these places are run. A lot of zoos do great work with conservation and education, and often have animals that can't be released into the wild anyways (one common example is animals rescued from private owners who stole them so young from the wild and/or bred them in captivity that they can no longer survive in the wild even if they were returned). I remember visiting a place that had an area where you could interact with dolphins but they were in the ocean, no tanks or anything, they just knew there was free food and they were used to humans so they'd show up but it's not like there were showtimes they were either there or they weren't. The problem with places like SeaWorld is that their number one priority is making money, regardless of the safety/health of the animals. No Killer Whale at SeaWorld was in any way "rescued" because there's pretty much no situation where they would need to be that would then lead them to be unable to survive in the wild. Killer whales aren't like land animals--their basic needs are dependent on a global oceanic system that simply can't be replicated in a tank. Plus, they're highly social and intelligent, which makes it different than putting, say, jellyfish in an aquarium.

Ethical zoos focus entirely on conservation and the animal's comfort, though. The entertainment aspect is used for education, and the animals are not forced to come close to the people (example, the San Diego Zoo Safari Park). These whales are being kept in tanks solely for entertainment at an amusement park that cares only for profit

@@ruthlesslistener exactly, places like Chester are great, they actually care about the animals

Theirs a difference between tiger king zoos,over breed,abuse,no release,and only for entertainment and money And zoos that breed healthy baby’s to release into the wild Releasing animals when healthy And education with animals that are not able to be released but are being given the best life possible

Now I know how it feels to be locked in side with this pandemic

It's like you taken out of world put into cage at gunpoint forced to stupid degrading tricks 4 someone 2 make money to be humiliated n front of everybody 2 see r we teaching our children 2 abuse animals never took my children there

jenny gore yes it def should have but now these whales that are left in captivity are only the ones that have been bred they know nothing other than captivity they would die if freed and it’s been known just like what happen with the free willy act back in 90s the whale they did release stayed close to shores to shallow for her and kept coming to where people were and people that didn’t know how to react to her so she only lasted a short time I. The free before getting infections and cuts and axaeaps from shallow waters

@@rabeccavieira9489 Actually, there is a way they can be released. There was a whole plan put in place by some orca experts to free them, and a section netted off in the ocean to get them used to it but where they could still be fed and keep an eye on them, yet the sea world owners still refused to let the whales go! It's all about money! Those greedy bast***s!!!!

Money

Jessica Vernon Her family still support Sea World and what Dawn fought and believed in. John is fame hungry and people should look into him before believing his every word.

@@DaniSpiceBoy Then Dawn & her family were/are extremely misguided. Orcas don't belong in swimming pools.

The ones currently in the park are the last ones to be a part of the program begun under misguided principles. It's the last generation of whales. If they let the whales into freedom now, they wouldn't be able to properly survive.

He’s not doing it for Dawn. He’s doing it for himself. He’s full of it. Dawn loved her job and she loved the whales.

DaniSpiceBoy you sound delusional

I am glad you did not become a trainer. The orcas need trainers with a backbone.

Now you’re a drive through worker congratulations

@@tessdurberville711 they need freedom

@@NourKLI Freedom to starve, to become sick from the polluted water, to be hit by boats, to be made deaf by the U.S. Navy? "Freedom" is just another word for homelessness.

That is the absolute truth!

Exactly !!

Joshua Fox I agree. I wanted so bad to be a trainer at sea world, I started working on my swimming skills at 11 for it. I'm so glad I never committed. Sea World will go bankrupt, and rightfully it should. Another great place to watch them Migrate is off the Puget Sound in Seattle. It's awesome

You can see them in the wild in other places as well- they migrate (south for winter)... I cannot even explain how amazing it is to swim in the ocean with wild sea creatures! It can be terrifying but it’s so freaking amazing and majestic! Although it’s not for everyone- if you can’t swim or if you’re truly petrified (you could go whale watching also).. but I’ve been to protected areas and swam with the fish, seals, sea lions, turtles, manatees, rays, seahorses, and most terrifying sharks! (I’m talking hundreds of sharks- like I peed myself bc I’m scared of them and the guides weren’t expecting them, but there weren’t any attacks, so it’s all good).. also jellyfish were terrifying as well... but I loved especially seeing sea turtles .... and on the way we got to see dolphins and manta rays leaping out of the water

If you can see them from the shore that would be amazing, but please don't go on a whale watching boat/trip unless you know the organization is following protocol and staying a safe distance away from the orcas. Orca pods living in the Salish Sea (migrating between waters off of Oregon and Alaska) are severely endangered and boat noise only contributes to their downfall.

Yeah that sounds nice and all but I went last summer and probably will go again this summer. I wouldnt go but I dont see any progress on them shutting down the place so why not?

The day Sea World is closed is the day I'll stop going💯

She poked the bear to long

Her fault at the end of the day. She's obviously seen workers have the same issue and she still took the risk to work at Sea World.

Lol just come back alive. Simple

She knew the risks yet ignored them .

One less animal abuser. The poor whale died of infection and pain. The shows will go .SHUT IT DOWN.

Taking eat the rich to the animals

The primitive approach, I like it 😎

I bet it was fantastic to see I would love to go out and see the Orca’s in the wild. I always wanted to go to sea world as a kid but now I’m glad I’ve never been knowing they captured wild Orca’s and when that was made illegal they bred them in captivity it’s just so wrong those pools are like bath tubs for Orca’s considering they swim hundreds of miles a day in the ocean

flxwercxrpse they're at least not continuing this and they're gonna eventually stop having orcas.

It's all about the all mighty dollar. Greed

So “not beautiful animals” are allowed to be kept caged, since those that are more pleasing to look at deserves a better chance than those that are not. K then

flxwercxrpse they said it in the video people when it started didn’t know how the whales would be in captivity but when you earn so much money from it is kinda hard to stop even though they should

They where saved from dieing. Yes the need to be in the sea but they cannot be returned EVER or will die. So they are given a way to pay for there life. And help save other WHALES, wildlife at the same time. And you are protesting so they will DIE.

PR3VAILES I don’t think you can get ptsd just from a living space.... If something traumatic happened then maybe

Depression,anxiety and distress would be more accurate

@@keiraazzopardi6298 I know I’m a year late, but here is some of the traumatic experiences the whales go through. The first whale to die during labor at SeaWorld was named Gudrun who died after SeaWorld staff pulled her stillborn calf out of her with a winch. There are so many other horrible things that happen to them like artificial insemination and having to perform 8 shows a day, it’s just heartbreaking

@@keiraazzopardi6298 being trapped in a few feet of water is trauma for an animal that’s supposed to be in the wild going as far as the ocean can take them.

it is literally like being in jail for them..only animals don't really understand jail, being they did nothing wrong. they were just being the animal they are.

William

Why must animals do tricks and stunts?? For the pleasure of humans. Dawn loved her job as an orca trainer. Did she ever realized what a stressed, brutal live orcas had to live. Maybe in the last moments of her life when she was attacked by Tilikum?

I love PIGS are you talking about 'Blackfish'?

I love PIGS ....they already took action.....they said years ago they were phasing our the orcas from the park.

That documentary was made on lies and can be easily debunked. I've lost all respect for people who watch stupid films without doing actual research to form their petty bias.

I agree, I do understand though that Seaworld does other things like rehabbing injured, sick, orphaned marine life and re-release them out in the wild. I'll never forget that story out here in San Diego about the Grey whale calf they found weak and without its mother decades ago, and they returned him to health and released him. Things like this I can appreciate having a Sea World around. I just don't need to Orca's there against their will doing shows under the fake guise of trying to educate us on them. Did a Killer Whale hinder your ability to get to work last week? Then I don't care to be uber educated on them.. I'll watch em on Nat Geo like we should..

Rhey well the thing is, these orcas can’t be released, they also got their breeding program canceled, if we boycott them, then the orcas will have no more food because their income for the food got cut short, I agree that the sizes of the tanks are small, and seaworld is not perfect, but boycotting them is very wrong and will affect the thousands of animals they rescue besides orcas and dolphins, think about that

They're extremely intelligent with a conscience

@@pheedo2797 They're extremely intelligent, but their conscience is borderline non existant. These mfers literarly play with animals until they die as if they are toys and I'm not talking about these incidents with humans. They literarly torture other species to death for fun, then eat them and in some instances, they don't even do that. Imagine if we had a show where we repeatedly took an orca out of water for longer and longer periods of time, watched it panic more and more while laughing at it until it dies. This is what they do for fun. Now, I'm not saying we're any better (or worse), just pointing out that there's a lot people forget.

@@dustingaethje1332 they have community and they are social ceteceans. They care and mourn the loss of their loved ones. I would argue that although they are not "terrestrial" beings by comparison to humans, they do what animals do to survive in the wild but it does not mean they should be held captive and they somehow deserve it lol. There's no justification. Especially when given the evidence that they are being treated horribly. When they lash out its for a good reason. They aren't thriving. So by nature, humans torture these animals and force them around while crowds of people laugh. So yeah its horrible.. Period.

Avenged Rider Please explain what is a "shelter" for a WILD animal? And what is a "violent world"? A place where they are forced to do something NOT natural to them, like their performances. Also, free food? Like in the wild they need to pay for it? Think about it!!!

Do I really have to explain such a simple fact to you? Ever heard of starvation? Lack of food? Doesn’t exist in a large tank with room to roam around.

@@Lightningwolf0925 Its nature. They are free to live how they want and come across more varieties of food and life and be with their own kind and the countless other free animals. We are not caring for them we are exploiting them. They're confined to a small tank all their lives and killed when they're no longer useful since its cheaper than shipping them back to the wild where they will die since they were forced to live for years without learning off of their natural instincts in their natural environments. Death is just a part of life, if an animal is hunted in the wild there's nothing wrong with that. Humans can only give wild animals a miserable boring life before giving them death, that's why there are people who do not like zoos and certain animals in pet stores.

Avenged Rider We’re not talking about a gold fish here. You’re obviously uneducated on the subject and should probably do some research. Some animals can do okay in confinement, but the Orca is not one of them. As it’s been proven. 1. They are intelligent animals capable of developing physiological problems. It’s like locking a person in a room for their whole life. You’re not protecting them from anything, instead you’re harming them physiologically in irreversible ways. 2. A tank will never compare to an open ocean. They swim hundreds of miles a day in the ocean, while they can barely move in some of their tanks. It’s chemically treated water and often times they can’t escape the sun. So they developed health issues. 3. They are apex predators. They are top of the food chain and any animal is going to be happier in their natural habitat. 4. Orcas in the wild have an average life expectancy of 30 to 50 years-their estimated maximum lifespan is 60 to 70 years for males and 80 to over 100 for females. The average age of death for orcas who have died at SeaWorld is 14 years old.

Ok than I respect your opinion than stay out of SeaWorld a affairs here’s the real enemy juill

@@rausrule8423 she did use it partially right on the list of abuses; she just needed one more before the &. Otherwise all good if she didnt put commas.. they were mostly unnecessary. Also yes I agree with her.

Rausrule actually the comma before the "&" is not necessary. Oxford commas are more of a preference than a rule. But I agree with the rest of what you said.

People gotta stop buying the tickets and quit going to SW! As long as they're making money, they will continue!

Defqon that actually isn’t completely true.. all animals know when they are treated badly, if they didn’t, they wouldn’t exist anymore.

Defqon I was talking about the last sentence of your comment ‘they don’t know what is happening to them’.. if you starve a rat, it will know. If you keep a bird in captivity, it will pluck it’s feathers. Some small animals can even commit suicide from stress.. they do know that something wrong is happening to them, sure, they might not know they are trapped, but they will for sure know, if they are being hit, starved, or whatever. If an animal didn’t know when it is in pain, it wouldn’t survive, and therefore die.

Defqon that is quite incorrect.. I don’t really understand how you believe something can survive without knowing it is treated badly..

@Defqon Yes and for all animals its bad to live in a place with different conditions than those in wich its species evolved for thousands or hundreds of thousands years, as is almost allways the case in captivity. A bird for example, no matter how unintelligent it is will feel the biological need to roam over a big area, just the same way it feels the biological need to eat and to reproduce. So yeah, unintelligent animals surely don't understand they are being 'treated badly' because they are in a captivity but at a biological level they know the conditions are not right for them. Now please stop pretending to know more about the subject than what you actually know

@Defqon I have a bachelor in Environmental Engineering and I'm working on my masters so I'm pretty sure I understand at least the basics about evolution. Judging by the definition you just presented, I'm afraid you are the one who doesn't understand evolution. Evolution is not the "ability to adapt", evolution is the ability of a species as a whole to change trough competiton over several generations. The ability of an individual to adapt is fairly limited and certainly not enough to cope with very fast changes to their environment. You believe some birds have the ability to navigate over thousands of kilometers but can't figure out they are flying in small circles? Evaluating how well an individual of a certain species does in captivity involves a lot more factors than just how "smart" they are. You are too arrogant for your level of knowledge

@@rudyromero7629 people are in prison for breaking the law, The orcas are in prison for human entertainment. You really couldn't decipher the difference?

@@SpinelTheThespian it's a swimming pool & they can do soft releases.

Kristina Anderson yes

teamhex thanks for mentioning Phil Demers. Hadn’t heard of him until seeing your comment. Will definitely look him up.

MarineLand like places around the globe are far worse places than SeaWorld. They are far less humane and do not actually do anything to better the ocean/world unlike SeaWorld.

@Flora Fauna nah I meant what i said

Omg

That’s when the place should been shut down and family should have demanded it ! Everyone should stop supporting sea world and what there doing to these animals And what’s gets me this whale tore this trainer apart !!!! This sing the first time a trainer has been killed and then once the whale kills it’s sent to the Mexico sea world which another trainer was killed and list goes on !

MarineLand and many other marine parks around the world are far worse than SeaWorld. Yes SeaWorld does use their animals to entertain, but that is not their sole purpose for having them. SeaWorld puts much time and effort into education, rescue, and rehabilitation unlike the countless low budget marine parks that are basically a water circus.

Morgan at LP is separated from her baby. they bottlefeed the baby and are allready train this wee one

SEA WORLD: STARTED this in the 1960's. Everyone has forgotten this. THEY STARTED the save the WHALES. YOU DON'T want the whales saved you want the spot light. SEA WORLD IS trying to help save all the whales world wide you want them dead. YOU are getting in the way of saving the whales by trying to shut down there GOOD WORK. Smell what you are shoveling duma#%ss. CHECK your FACTS LEARN SOMETHING BESIDES PROTEST. YOU DON'T NEED THE LIME LIGHT. THE ORCAS ARE NOT DURING AT SEA WORLD'S HANDS. YOU ARE BARKING TO HEAR YOURSELF BARK. GO BARK AT THE DEMOCRATS. GO CLEAN UP THE POOP IN CALIFORNIA. FIND A WAY TO STOP HOMELESSNESS. FIND A WAY TO FEED PEOPLE. YOU DO ANY OF THESE THING'S I WILL HAVE RESPECT FOR YOU. AS IT IS I JUST HAVE CONTEMPT FOR YOU. IT MAKES ME SAD. ALL THAT EDUCATION WASTED. WHILE PEOPLE STARVE,COLD,WET. GO JOIN THE MILITARY. YOU CAN GET RESPECT THAT WAY. BUT NOT WITH YOUR SNOWFLAKE FRIENDS. YOU WILL BE HELPING NOT DESTROYING THIS COUNTRY.

Paisley Duhhh it’s there fault

My thoughts too!!

@Angelina Milillo How was he a hazard to them? We are the worse species on earth.

@Angelina Milillo thank you for this. Actual truths in this comment sections sea of ignorant opinion.

@Angelina Milillo *laid *unbiased

@Angelina Milillo When you say, "The animal rights 'industry' is extremely lucrative" you don't seem exactly "unbias(ed)." Sorry, but if you did "years" of research and that's the best you came up with, I'd have to rate your research skills about on a par with your spelling.

Orcas are massive, 25+ feet long and swim extremely fast so even a 150 feet long pond will be very small for them

@@KARTIKEYA007 I'm no expert, but are most the orcas in most of the sea world videos juvenile? They don't seem too be quite that big. (Shouldn't be caged and abused either way). I'm just curious.

Lol this has been known for at least a decade...

Yes, we've all known for at least a decade if not longer.

@BblackBeautyy Yeah you're right. Sorry I didn't get right on that. I'll give them a call today and tell them to stop

When I was a child my mom asked me if I wanted to visit Seaworld and I said no that I didn't want to see them trapped in pools. If a child knows, everyone knows

@@MegNotTheStallion 👏👏 Exactly!! I knew as a child these things are disgusting and beyond cruel!!😢

Or some idiots that justify it good God it grinds my gears

Keli Gutierrez the only way they could justify it os by saying their preserving the speices which tbh is bs theyre doing as much harm as poachers on is death but the other long and dreadful torture

They already almost got destroyed a few years ago. Let them be, they're taking steps toward improving their parks. There's more peaceful solutions than shutting the parks down as that would create more drama. Think about the whole picture. :)

People are selfish, they put their wants over others' needs all the time.

The Coaster Cat their parks shouldn’t exist period. It will always b abuse to keep such large and moving animals in a small space

Would have been more effective if they weren't showing sea world of the 80s and 90s and some of Marine Land and not representing Sea World of the 2000s. But hey people these days don't really care about what the issue is unless someone tells them and not actual research.

My husband and I have a pictures from a show that she performed in 2006. God bless her soul

He claims to be so woke but literally didn't even mention that the program is virtually ended. The whales currently in captivity are the final generation and yeah. Killer whales don't have the name killer in the name for nothing.. They're some of the more aggressive whales.. Literally they sign a form in case something does happen...

You’re late

I love seaworld

What is it with people like you being so late to everything? It’s like you have a new “cause” every month lol even though said cause is years old. You’ll believe anything.

Nah.. I'll keep going to it. Since Sea World does rescue and care for injured or sick animals in the wild. Also this smuck is merely attacking a dead horse. Sea World ended the program a few years ago. he's just attacking it still just to rub it in sea worlds faces he doesn't give a crap about the whales as the ones in the park will die off one by one with the final ones dying alone. Yeah real hero.. Remember that as a example of what will happen in the wild since well your all bitching about sea world the ocean out there is dying cause people like you put resources attacking a place that actually helps animals well entire corporations and yourselves ruins the ocean you so desperately want them to return to.

Free my uncle willy

They did, and he died. Read Killing Keiko.

first name last name subscribe to my channel please!❤️hope you enjoy my videos !😭

Yea he did say that thanks

Don Carter because aliens are usually assumed to be highly intelligent and innovative, that’s why. 🙄

it isnt smaller than a football field

i like you 👍

@jordan.. and I guess you could say the same about other hated ppl or organizations lol- do you want a leader who ends animal testing/animal cruelty? A leader who promises to create a strong economy? Guess who that was? HITLER 🤣🤣🙄 just bc you do something that’s good doesn’t take away the bad... I think most of the world population (those that aren’t brainwashed- which believe me there are still Europeans that are completely brainwashed about nazis) can agree hitler was an evil dude and any good that he may have done does not at all erase all the bad he did..... generally speaking there’s good and bad in most ppl, but you can’t ever erase the bad things you do- you can repent or try to make them right, but as they say what’s done is done. Just bc sea world does these animal rescues and rehabs, doesn’t erase the abuse the whales endure

Oh and also they didn’t “end the breeding program” they were FORCED to by the California government ... and you want to know how they are “ending” the “breeding program”?!?!?? By giving the female orcas fing BIRTH CONTROL! Are you freaking kidding me?!?!? That is abuse!

Candice Cart Yeah, so there is not a comparison here, as much as you’d like to get your point across, Sea World and HITLER (as you like to call him) are polar opposites. Hitler May have ended testing on animals but the man did it in favor of doing it to human beings, it’s pretty sadistic if you think that we are talking about anything similar here. If you do your research, Sea World completely ended the Orca breeding program, it’s not temporary, not because of California or any legislation, completely OVER for them because they want to do the right thing. Sea World understands that people are upset (even though those people don’t really have a clue what’s going on), therefore they go by what the public wants to see happen. They are focusing more on rides and conservation now and are evolving to become more of a theme park that happens to rescue animals and teach people about the ocean than what you call a prison. I get people that say the whales were abused, from the outside looking in, it does look like it. I’m honestly not an animal expert, but I am someone who doesn’t cry foul at everything I don’t understand. You can hate Sea World all you want, at the end of the day, they are a multi million dollar company and will continue to stay that way. Their earnings have been increasing and the good they do will continue to grow as the company does.

Amber Pavon do your research please, Sea World definitely made money off of them. So do zoos off their lions and tigers, so do aquariums with their sharks, just like any good business they market their niche product. Shamu sold, Shamu also inspired millions of people to be activists for the environment. Just because someone sells something doesn’t make them evil. It’s not like they were making handbags out of the damn whales, they sell stuffed animals, you don’t have a point here.
