Part 1 of 2. John Hargrove elaborates on aspects of his book. In this video he discusses the indoctrination culture of Seaworld, how his views changed, and water quality/treatment issues. (Part 2: • Superpod4: John Hargro... )
If anything else that comes from this i hope and pray seaworld gets FORCED to release the beautiful intelligent majestic creatures to a sanctuary. The damage is done and seaworld needs to relinguish these whales to an animal protection advocates/ agency to stop seaworld from making anymore money off of these whales! If people stop attending shows maybe that would be enough to make them close and force them to pay for a sanctuary for them. Idk if i will ever live to see that but i pray every night for this to come true. Great work thanks for bringing this HUGE injustice. God bless you 💗💗 #Faquseaworld!#notankbigenough#sanctuarynotbathtubs
Unfortunately as it ramps down in North America and Europe it is going the opposite direction in China. We all know how much they respect animals. It’s so frustrating.
John Hargrove has no excuse for remaining ignorant for so long!-Some of the other trainers in Bracfish have - they didn't have access to the same superhighway of information at the time they were trainers. The all seem to lack commen sense though. NOT seeing how horrible the SeaWorld concept is NOT understandable
That's very easy to say now especially after blackfish but if u listen to him and other trainers talk ull see that sea world basically brain washes their employees convincing them (usually as teen agers at the time they start) that they know more about whales than anyone else in the world since they work closer to the whales than anyone ever has. They describe it as cult like behavior, teaching them that anyone that says different is just crazy and they've gotten away with this for decades without anyone really objecting to it and if it wasn't for the death of dawn and the movie they would've prob continue to get away with it for who knows how many more years. Also, once trainers do realize what is going on, by that time they've established serious bonds and relationships with the animals and are afraid that if they do leave the next person won't care for the whales the same way they do. It's very easy to see why and how someone could stay there for the length of time John did.
+Arm Collector This is a Pretty old tread. I've somewhat softened. I just call on hypocrisy. John left his 'loved whales' three times then took a break from 2003-_-2008 and was then again working at SeaWorld at the tender age 35 onwards for four years. Yeah I have to understand. PS I've read JHs book.
+Else Jean Jensen yeah I never considered the times he left and came back. I guess that would have been the perfect time to get out. Also the more I think about this I realize this has been a huge business opportunity for him. Not sure if he planned it that way or if it was just luck and perfect timing cuz just days after he quit he started doing the whole blackfish thing and then was able to follow that up with the release of his book. Hopefully he's doing it for the right reasons but either way its helping the cause so I guess it's all good.
Wow. Hope you don’t ever fall off that High Horse you’re riding on. Every whistleblower who walks away from the only career they know is a hero. Have you left your trade to save someone else ?? If they answer is no than you’ve no room to judge how he walked away from a passion he’s has since he was six years old. What would rather he do, go back to SeaWorld. You really didn’t think this through did you ??
