SeaWorld is a company that has been around for 50+ years. It is a world leader in rescuing and rehabilitating animals and has been deemed to have the best care for marine mammals. In 2013, a popular documentary titled "Blackfish" was released and caused SeaWorld's attendance to drop significantly. It led people to believe that orcas were being held in tiny tanks equivalent to the size of a bath tub and that SeaWorld would drug their whales. Since then, the park has had backlash from companies like PETA and the Humane Society of Animals. A new "documentary" was also released and was called "Whistle Blower." SeaWorld has rescued and released 22,000 injured or ill animals and donated $2.5 million towards wild life conservation and is supported by NOAA. Before places like SeaWorld, people were so scared of orcas they were killing them on sight. Since the 1960's, SeaWorld has inspired millions to protect the ocean and it's animals. Backstage, the trainers are able to ask the animals take breath samples and other stuff that'll help them with research they can send to scientists to study. In 2016, SeaWorld decided to make the sad decision of ending the orca breeding program. This killed millions of dreams for people to work with killer whales, and quite frankly, makes no sense! Instead of ending the breeding program, SeaWorld should end it's Artificial Insemination program so the orcas can mate naturally. It is a natural instinct for these animals to mate, so by ending the breeding program they are preventing them from a natural right. By bringing back the breeding program and ending Artificial Insemination program, SeaWorld can escape public outcry of them "raping orcas" and the females and males no longer have to be separated from each other in Orlando. The Blackfish effect has ended, and now, SeaWorld's parks are starting to be full again! By signing this petition, you are helping me bring back the breeding program. So please do!

The feedback regarding this petition has highlighted a deep passion for marine biology and the future of conservation efforts. I am currently compiling the research provided by various experts to better illustrate why natural mating cycles are superior to artificial intervention.

I love SeaWorld I have had so many memories there and I don’t see why someone would want to close such an awesome place. Emagine if someone were to close Disneyland! Everyone would be upset! Now that is how I feel about them closing SeaWorld! I hope that more people will sign this petition so it can stay open!
Sea world has helped so many orcas and they need to help more especially with all the garbage we put into the oceans.
I love this and I want breeding back! And I want Katina Malia and Nalani to be back with Makaio and Trua
AWWWW omg I'm so happy with the positive comments! Guys, please send this to everyone you know, share it on your social medias, spread the word!
I honestly think that we should keep the breeding going. Who knows, maybe one day orcas will go instinct!!! That would be terrible. That’s why SeaWorld needs to keep the breeding going, so more orcas can live and experience life.

I’m signing, because I love these beautiful whales at SeaWorld so much, and it would break my heart for them to become extinct, because some uneducated person/ people tried to force SeaWorld to end their breeding program, and release them back into the wild which for some of the whales releasing them would actually be putting them in danger. The whales are very well cared for and very loved at Sea World and they frequently have a vet come check them out to make sure they stay healthy and happy!!
