Where are the reports of your research???

Stop calling yourself trainers, you're performers. Keep drinking that kool-aid.

[@bananasquid5337]

wow I love all these lies!

[@WPower276]

They're not lies, it was PETA, they lied to everyone about Seaworld Orcas.

[@bananasquid5337]

Taima Luv yeah they don’t steal to euthanize them because that would be less cruel. They steal them, use them as breeding machines, take away and sell their babies, force them to perform for crowds as the only form of entertainment they have all day and then leave them in a small tank with nothing to do. Educate yourself, the knowledge I have is not from PETA or blackfish.

[@trua7129]

BananaSquid53 “steal” them from where exactly? SeaWorld hasent captured or even been given a wild whale in almost 40 years. And what are you talking about nothing to do all day? Anyone who has ever been to SeaWorld will tell you that at least 90% of the day the trainers are doing SOMETHING with the whales. 2-4 shows a day Training sessions “Dine with Orcas” Killer whale up close tours Feeding times And throughout the day they are given EED’s (environmental enrichment devices, AKA toys)

@@gelationousskin835 Ikr, SeaWorld is just so horrible that their animals die earlier than in the wild... academic.oup.com/jmammal/article/96/5/1055/920547 Oh... But you are actually right about one thing. Living in a concrete pond with nothing to do all day would be cruel. But from the examples i gave, thats not whats happening. at least 90% of the day the trainers are doing SOMETHING to stimulate the whales. Trust me, ive been there so many times i have seen it firsthand. Also, if the whales were truly depressed and in anguish you wouldnt have Katina, a 44 year old orca jumping almost 20 ft out of the water or Trua, Orlando’s largest orca, soaking people 15 rows up in the stadium. Thats not how abused and depressed animals behave. If they were they wouldnt be doing that, they’d be lethargic, barely getting themselves out of the water, not being as high energy as Katina. They most certainly wouldnt be like Trua either, they’d maybe get a few rows wet. Basically they wouldn’t be as “enthusiastic”

@@tjmj7996 I already looked at bothbsides of the story. I have found out that documentary is very biased and misleading, using the wrong people, and overestimating wild orcas.

[@tjmj7996]

@@ILaunchNukes The doccumentary paints manipulative untrue images, but that doesn't take away from the atrocious living conditions and lies seaworld is hiding from people like yourself. I know I mentioned blackfish, but I do research outside of it, to the point where I can also say that seaworld is at the very least a manipulative company, look with dawn branchaeu for example, they tried to cover her death up as a drowning, which just goes to show that every major company involved in this paints manipulative images. Going back to the orcas' terrible living conditions, they are all extremely bored and in the vast majority of cases, depressed, people use the excuse of a few orcas being lazy and lying at the bottom of the tank, but the individuals that they say aren't in every seaworld park, and the whales are clearly mentally unhealthy and are showing stereotypical behaviours in every park. The male orca always have droopy dorsal fins in captivity, seaworld says this is because there is no bone in them, but if that was the case that should happen in 100% of male orcas in the wild, but it happens in less than one. A droopy dorsal fin is a sign of a malnourished or unhealty whale, but it can also happen from oil spills, boat interactions and or no water pressure applied to the fin, while the latter is most likely the reason, it still shows that they're not in a deep enough environment, even when they have access to all of the tanks. There are other physical signs that the orca at seaworld are unhealthy such as the worn teeth from then chewing on the concrete. This happens in the wild, sure, but it happens through prey handling which doesn't happen at seaworld, suction feeding which again, is not happening at seaworld. The truth is that their teeth would not be like that in the wild. Another physical sign is the rake marks. Orcas get rake marks in the wild, but again, in a different way. At seaworld, calves are heavily bitten, which just doesn't happen to calves in the wild. I could go on and on about the diets, the inadequate tanks, the chlorine levels, the damaging tricks they have to do etc but I'm not going to because this alone just proves how seaworld is wrong, although I'd like to see you try and debunk that.
