- SeaWorld's orcas are mistreated more than people think. Orcas like Tilikum were taken away from their families and transferred to SeaWorld. SeaWorld is now banned from capturing wild orcas, but the ones in captivity still need to be released. Orcas are kept in a small enclosure. They can't swim freely like they would in the wild, and that's thanks to SeaWorld. Their dorsal fins collapse a WHOLE lot more in captivity. This is because they are fed a diet they are not used to and they don't have space to swim. Tilikum the orca is still held at SeaWorld even after being responsible for many deaths. SeaWorld keeps him for breeding and money. Captivity is wrong. And we CAN stop it. Please sign our petition to free the orcas.

poor killer whales, the mothers get their babies taken away, I couldn't even imagine the horror they feel.
I believe that all Orcas shoul be set free and released into the wild. My mom says that since the Orcas have been in captivity for so long, they probably forget some essential survival skills so they can't be released. But, I didn't believe her. I know deep down that Orcas are smarter than humans. One day, I know the Orcas will be set free. It may just take a while.
Release the orcas/Dolphins suitable for independent release & place the others into retirement into an open sea pen.
I love killer whales and I hate to see them in captivity. I've watched Blackfish and it brought me to tears. Free the whales!!
I think they should be let free! They suffer in their small tanks just to entertain people!
YES!
Everything about sea world is wrong in so many ways. No wild animal should be kept in captivity by humans. We don't own them!

I think they should release these orcas for one the pools are way too small and I think it's wrong to take the babies from the mothers.
