IT IS ABOUT TIME THAT THE CRUEL INCARCERATION OF ORCAS ANIMALS STOP. THESE HIGHLY SOCIAL AND INTELLIGENT ANIMALS SHOULD NOT BE KEPT IN BLUE BARE FISHBOWLS.

Seaworld is evidently filled with selfish individuals who only care about money. These animals feel just as much as humans do and Seaworld is literally torturing helpless animals. I don't blame the whales for killing, they have had it coming. It's a cry for help.

Seaworld NEEDS to be shut down. It's animal abuse! It's not ok to abuse a dog or cat so why is it ok to abuse a whale?

Watching the documentary "Blackfish" made me ill. Sea World needs to be shut down. What they do to the beautiful, majestic killer whales is a travesty. So many animals are abused by humans -- I wish we could eliminate that highly disturbing trait in all humans who allow or condone such abuse.

This was my letter to sea world.
I've just watched blackfish the fact you think it's acceptable to treat orca whales they way you do makes me feel sick and this is why.
Tilikum is swimming around a concrete pool By him self.. And comes out on a show and does a 2 minuet appearance and goes back in a pool, Should be enough for you to shut down with you inhumane selfish acts. He's not a evil whale he's angry, he's lonely and he's depressed! Dawn Brancheau a woman who got attacked and died (We see the report papers by the way) Your head trainer and blamed for her own death. That's is sickening!! She got dragged in by her arm because he doesn't want to be in that pool he's depressed!
The fact you lie and say they live longer in captivity 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 median age of orcas in captivity is only 9, and orcas at SeaWorld rarely make it even to the average life expectancy of their wild cousins.
SeaWorld confines whales who often swim up to 100 miles a day in the wild to tanks that, to them, are the size of a bathtub. An orca at SeaWorld would have to swim the circumference of the main pool 1,900 times in one day to swim that same distance.
It's not even just orcas it's dolphins and sea lions.. Orcas are highly social animals who live in stable social groups ranging from two to 15 individuals. In some populations, children stay with their mothers for life. In captivity, orcas are forced to live with orcas from other family units who speak a completely different language than they do and are constantly moved between facilities for breeding and to perform.
What also makes me laugh about you is you wouldn't do a interview for the show? But yet you jump to the conclusion each time it's was a trainers fault. Why not put your point across. That's how we no your evil you happily do what you do take people's mo

I don't know why humans think we can take better care of these animals than they can. I hope more people can let go of the massive income made off of the suffering of these whales and the families of those who have been killed by these whales to see that this is not the way things were meant to be. We are supposed to live in harmony. This is slavery.

*I wish every person would open their eyes to the very sad cruel actions of SeaWorld towards mammals that God intended to be free in the great wide, deep ocean. SeaWorld also breeds the Orca's then takes its baby orca away from its mother who sreeches in pain for its offspring. Very heart breaking!! They are not toys for entertaining people!! It's all about making millions of dollars and less about the mammals well being, happiness, and life, that is being cut so short. Their life span has been greatly affected due to depression!

I have just watched a programme on orcas in captivity and what I have witnessed is completely inhuman and disgusting. I went to sea world as a child and was completely mesmerized and thought it was amazing how ever now my view has completely changed.
