@@emmannotario9623but it’s not. It doesn’t get any free range outside their aquarium which is way too small for an orca to be living in. They aren’t treated as well as these videos or the parks make them to be.
@@fregare I get you. But in my mind, the workers are complicit in keeping them trapped. Now that I think about it, I met some nice COs who worked in a jail. I still think working for people who keep them trapped is abusive. For instance, what if some people locked u In a room even tho u did not do anything wrong. They hire people to feed you. That's still being abusive even if they don't beat you.
It breaks my heart!!!! Humans keeping Orcas in captivity like that deserve the same destiny. Orcas are a highly intelligent and highly social species and can only prosper in the open sea. Anything else is just cruel!
@@Deerheart94What's wrong with you!. This mammal is an Orca & it should be living in the ocean with other Orcas, not enslaved & held captive in a man's glorified swimming pool, waiting for food & treats 😒
@@lindadoughty9252most animals have to get their own food, I do think they should be in the ocean but they definitely have a better chance of living longer
@@extremebeastreaction6245 That's both untrue, because they don't live longer lives in captivity & they also suffer mental health problems, due to living in captivity. Even if they do/did live longer, that's like saying that if we humans lived longer if we lived inside a prison cell, that it's worth it!. When it most definitely isn't. Lifeboat any price, isn't usually worth it. And most captive Orcas are kept in SeaWorld centres & used to entertain us, not for their species preservation.
@@Deadpool0210 , negative. Truthfully, none of these comments will change much. At most, it will ingrain in the brains of people who haven’t contemplated about the unethicality of this “ownership”, that they shouldn’t support/visit such enclosures. But that’s indirect and has a reduced potency of inducing values. Even then, however, it would still be the right thing to do, so let them go ahead.
@@rambi1072 Selectively bred to live with humans? Have you even read what you typed? Dogs were selectively bred BECAUSE they lived with humans. And what is "domesticated" and why orcas can't be "domesticated"?
@Javiname7yeah I’m thinking rehab center. You can tell an orcas quality of life by their dorsal fin on the back. At SeaWorld their dorsal fin is slumped over. This orcas dorsal fin is pin straight as they are in the wild.
Unfortunately, if that irca has been raised in captivity, he or she would die in the wild, not thrive. It is important to know the whole story. We dont know if the irca was maybe rescued as a baby or has a deformity that would affect its life in the wild. Let hope that was the case and it was stolen from its pod because that would be awful. That is what seaworld was doing back in the day, apparently, which is so wrong. But I think we can all agree that the owner was a very poor choice of words. Nobody should own any living being.
@savvylinn I wouldn't doubt that many years ago they may had been captured. But now days all captive animals are either rescues or offspring from other captives. You could argue against captive breeding of non endangered species.but there are many many things to consider when looking into the ethics of it. America is also a little behind other western countries in animal welfare legislations but most captive facilities still do great work.
@@alshee356 This is not true. While wild captures may have died down in the US/western countries, out in ASIA and russia they still occur. China has been having a boom in construction of sea parks much like Seaworld, and they have been purchasing Orcas from Russia's recent wild captures. The capturing of orcas and cetaceans was halted in 2019 after 97 Belugas and orca whales were found in holding tanks. Those animals were then traded to china. There are about 15 captive orcas across China right now and despite protests, the government continues to open parks like this. I'm assuming the orca in this video is from one of those chinese parks. Also @savvylinn - very rarely have orcas that were rescued been caught and kept in captivity. If I remember correctly the only known instance of this was Morgan because she was found to be (partially?) deaf. Otherwise, all orcas are typically either wild caught or captive bred. Most if not all in asian countries as of right now are wild caught.
I feel sorry for him. They swim over 200 miles a day. Imagine being in a pool where you can't leave or see your family. Captivity = prison they even feel stronger emotions than us. 🥺
Humans can run 80 miles a day. You don't see us complaining about being in a box we call a house do you? And yes he may or may not have his family/friends there with him but that doesn't necessarily mean he is all alone. He has found friendship with this human hasn't he? They both get something out of it. One gets food and a guaranteed safe space from any predators and another gets to study him and learn more.
Please 🙏 let all orcas free into the ocean! 🌊 They don’t belong in aquariums! 💔 They need a lot of space to live their lives in groups with their families & friends and to swim thousands of miles. They need freedom. They are so great animals, very social & smart.
@mistaken219 this is Tokyo seaworld. There's no ship, that's the other side of the pool and the buildings behind it.. idk how you think that's a ship.
Owner? These are incredibly smart social animals. Keeping them in captivity is basically taking it prisoner. I don't even want to know how that beautiful orca got there
It's probably a conservation my guy... like you do know how close orcas in the wild are to Extinction right? My guess is that this is a place that's been breeding and raising orcas because they want to have at least some population of orcas left if those in the wild go extinct in the same vein as with pandas and tigers
@@wuzhappening in what way and how? You're just reading into things what you want to believe my guy and again you're also like everyone else not considering that this very easily could be a conservation due to the fact that orcas in the wild are on route to go extinct
Most likely taken from its mother at a very young age and then raised in captivity, I saw one video that was secretly taken at Sea World, they took the baby as soon as they could, the mother cried for days and days, constantly calling for it, the Orca would just put itself in the corner of the pool and stay there calling. It was heartbreaking, I'd swear you could see the heartbreak in the mothers eyes and hear the emotionally distressed crys in her calling. It's truly sad and ignorant what humans will do just to earn a buck. 😪
@@gnanavadivel2298please read "beneath the surface" from John Hargrove, former orca seaworld trainer... It IS for dehydration. It is because fishes they eat have less water than fresh fishes they could eat in the wild
Orcas are very, very smart creatures. They are self-aware. They know that they’re being held captive. They know they’re being used for the sake of human entertainment. This is like putting a human inside a blank, white enclosure and forcing them to dance for other creatures.
Would you rather do some fun little exercises with some people who feed you and provide a safe space to live. Or be out in the wild fighting for your life looking over your shoulder every day?
Most captive Orcas (and those born in captivity) in the US came from Southern Resident Orca Pods, which is why they are fed fish. The SRKW pods were decimated in the 70s when live captures were at their peak. Each pod has its own unique culture & language. This beautiful, intelligent creature should be released back to the wild or sent to an open water sanctuary. It is _beyond_ sad to see them held prisoners when you live near the sea they were stolen from and have seen them in the wild on numerous occasions (for free!). Thank the goddesses live capture is now illegal here. But someone needs to make Russia stop stealing baby Orca & Beluga whales from arctic waters near Norway & Iceland.
Reminder: Some animals are in captivity because they can't or won't survive in the wild. Also zoos and sanctuaries exist to help spread awareness about how we as humans can help save species from extinction. Breeding programs at zoos help to increase the population of critically endangered species. Take the ABQ Biopark for example, we have a breeding pair in a conservation program for Mexican Grey Wolves and have contributed over 30 wild individuals that have increased the population by 13.2%. That may not seem significant but it is very significant. So before you activists go saying that zoos are evil, think about the conservation efforts they strive for.
It’s disgraceful that there’s still Orcas being held in large swimming pool captivity. This video is heartbreaking I don’t know where this place is but there should be something we can do to shut it down!
Dude you watched a 33 second youtube short… you have no idea why this orca is in captivity. Usually captivity is for animals who can’t live in the wild or were born in captivity
@@justkon1789 Orcas are never happy in captivity. In fact,, they have been seen slamming their heads on the walls of the enclosure chewing on concrete, often breaking their teeth, and staring at a wall. and floating lifeless, This called steriotypic behavior.
Actually the opposite. No human has ever been recorded being attacked by an orca in the wild while several fatal incidents happened with orcas in captivity. They are not meant to live in an aquarium.
@@carrietrigger Your comment is even dumber since the comments wont have any effect on the orcas. But okay, calling something cute is dumb. And I have a question: Is this your dog in the profile picture?

@@bryanpyecha6194not always. Many veterans end up on the streets because of ptsd. Their inability to function in a socially acceptable way isn’t a choice. Also sometimes people need to escape terrible domestic situations and will take sleeping on the streets as a better option. So let’s think a bit before making sweeping statements.
Yep. We may find out in a decade or 2 that sperm whales and orcas are smarter than humans. There are some very interesting experiments being worked on today that I'd recommended looking into. Including the sperm whale Rosetta Stone. There is a lot of evidence that sperm whales are more intelligent than humans. The vast majority of humans are ignorant and biased towards their own species. I don't blame us too much. Or maybe I don't blame us enough. I am also human with biases towards our own. Waterlocked species can't create fire or technology. That doesn't mean they can't be more intelligent. Humans are still a very primitive species with much to learn. What an exciting time to live in.
@@peacemaker8325PLEASE tell me this is Satire.. Dogs can venture out in the neibor hood and make friends and feel happy and safe with their owner, orcas in captivity get sunburn, trapped inside a tiny cage, forced to do tricks, and they should be out in the wilderness living their best life not cooped up inside a cage for entertainment.

@@Raoulirshan I keep my dog locked up in the yard or even in the house. If I open the door, it lets itself out to God know where. Also, people make their dogs do tricks and compete in races. How is that different
Orcas do not need to be in captivity!!! They are beautiful, intelligent, majestic, and emotional animals. Orcas do not have owners. They are not dogs or cats.
only lack of common sense ppl that will type something like that and whoever agrees... same reason why humans cant keep captivate great white shark in zoo, when u said they are not dogs or cats... i dont know wtf u talking about... arent they animals too?
@@stankj011 dogs and cats are domesticated animals, which means, they lived around humas for thousands of years, they underwent selective breeding and evolved to fit in human settlements, orcas are wild animals who do not seek to be a part of human lives if they have own family/pod to live with
Whales are highly intelligent. They also have a very high EQ. They are emotional animals, just like us. There was an experiment done recently. Marine biologists used underwater mics to play recordings of a Humpback whale's voice to other wild whales and a Humpback responded to the call. It was the first known case of inter-species communication between humans and whales. Now they just have to figure out what they said! Too bad we don't have a universal translator...yet?

Sigh.... ice is NOT a snack for them. It's a required part of their diet when they're in captivity because the water isn't cold enough for their bodies to regulate temperature properly.
if the environment wasn’t cold enough, the orca would probably be dead already, as someone who once took a dip in the water in a place like this, it is absolutely freezing. whales receive hydration and water from the prey they consume in the wild, fish that are fed to captive animals are frozen and thawed which leads to them losing a LOT of their natural fluids. contrary to popular belief a lot of fish don’t drink salt water, because in the end the salt concentration can damage their organs (much like our own), meaning when they eat they effectively drink as well. because the thawed fish lose a lot of their hydrating liquids, ice or gelatin is used to help combat dehydration. the sensation of ice is also stimulating to beluga whales and orcas, so yes it is a fun snack, and it keeps them in good health. while i dont advocate for the captivity of large animals like this handsome lad, often times its because they are born with a defect that prevents them from living in the wild, so they’re often in better hands in these places, most of the time at least. seeing as it’s dorsal fin hasn’t collapsed it’s clearly well hydrated, and seeing how sociable it is with it’s trainer, it’s in good spirits.
Could be this, but they also need the ice to hydrate. They don't drink so in the wild they hydrate through the water that's in the body of their food. But in captivity their fish don't have enough water as they're dried when shipping, so they get fed ice cubs
Yeah they should be feeding them living fish, not dead ones that have been frozen and have lost all it's water. SEAWORLD once said that they didn't want to give them living fish because it might scare the kids. . . I say "are you freaking kidding me" what should scare everyone is that humans think this is ok... to put a huge marine mammal in tanks.
knowing why this orca is eating ice cubes in the first place makes the whole situation so much sadder. It should be a crime to not only hold an intelligent being captive but also just having them so far from their natural habitat that they have to eat ice for temperature regulation.
I ain't gonna lie...between this Orca and my Ex, this Orca is definitely giving my Ex a run for her money when it comes to eating ice(True Story)🤣🤣🤣😁😁😁💯💯💯
I know you guys are saying “release this animal it’s abuseee”, but actually Japan takes pretty good care of it’s animals. Look at the clarity of the water for example. Plz don’t hate on me.
Yeah poor slave, look at how he's being forced to pull an entire titanic sized ship and being whipped. He doesn't even get food and is kept in a 40x40 cm jail.. poor guy huh.😐
I see people wondering what happened to it's nose, guys, nothing happened to it's nose- it was a reflection and you can clearly see the nose is ok in the second take- (and yes I do think orcas and overall animals should be in their natural environment, unless is like a sanctuary which is helping them survive cause they wouldn't be able to otherwise, but unluckily there will probably always be stuff like this, we can try to decrease it but it will be pretty hard, but not necessarily impossible, to ever completely stop this, luckily improvements were made since 30-40 years ago with humans-only circuses for example, which it's great!)
alright so based on your logic, we should stop giving money for the zoo and let the animals die from starvation? i dont see your point here, do you think they will let the animals go at some point? the aquariums would rather send their animals into a rescue shelter, because these type of animals was raised in captivity and will die instantly if you let them out, so, what do you choose? let them die in the wild after giving it freedom? or let them live longer and then them dying due to old age?
@@Aperture__Laboratories bro zoos dont treat the animals good for example a zoo in my country starved a kangaroo it now looks so skinny to the point it dosent even look real im surprised its alive
@@mikaiholder1113 Not all Zoos treat animals badly, youre using one Zoo to represent every other Zoo existing on earth, this rarely happens, Zoos treat animals good and with care.
Occasionally an animal might not be able to be released into the wild if they are injured or can't fend for themselves. I have never seen that with an Orca. But if that was the case, they should at least be kept in a natural environment like a large ocean pen. This concrete cage is so sad!
Guys, I see you guys commenting about these orcas to free them,I agree with you but unfortunately, if realeased back to the wild it would shortly pass away a few days later. Because they only know to get food from us humans and forgot how to hunt. But atleast this orca isn't used for tricks and shows and is well being taken care of.
This beautiful warm blooded Leviathan is too superior to Human beings to have them be its owner. Shame on Sea world and other aquariums to even suggest that they are a Orcas owners
I think that it’s wonderful for people to be able to see wild animals at zoos or aquariums because most people would never see them otherwise. BUT the environment has to match the animal. For example the orca. People need to find a way that the orcas can be free in the wild, but can get close enough to humans to see them sometimes. Like making the area of the park that’s for the orcas be open to the ocean instead of them being stuck in a pool for their whole lives. Trainers can teach the orcas to swim from the ocean into the water park area to get snacks and play. Then whenever the orcas are done they can just swim back into the ocean. Animals should not be separated from family. If the animal shows any kind of distress or anxiety or shows a decline in health, they need to be taken back to the wild.
There is a Dolphin & porpoise sanctuary in Palau (Micronesia) that fits your description. All of the animals are rescued from fishing nets, injury or retired from marine parks. There are about 6 "pools" in the Lagoon. They built docks & walkways for the humans, but they float. So the animals can swim under and even go out to the open sea. They tend to stay in the Lagoon. They have been trained to clean leaves out of the water (so they don't accidentally eat them which can be deadly). They respond to a few hand signals & will choose to interact with humans. I got to swim with them. The owner built the sanctuary after reading how human/dolphin interactions could be healing for people with a wide range of health issues. That's why my SO took me there. I loved the fact that the animals could leave any time they wanted to. The only time the large lagoon is ever closed off is during a typhoon or tropical cyclone. Most of the animals have small geo-tag implants so they can make sure they are accounted for and safe. The Lagoon that is home to Dolphins Pacific is huge. There should be something similar for Orcas. Release them all from captivity (including Shamu!) and let them live out the rest of their days in a large lagoon off the coast of British Columbia or Iceland or Norway. Someplace where they can be protected & kept safe from harm but let them live where they belong... in the ocean. 💙
Orcas have the most powerful bite in the world way more powerful than Lions, Crocs and even a T-Rex.
