On the other, the trainers work for Sea World and the rest of those corporate theme parks, none of which seem to give a shit about the animals as long as they can make a buck off of them.

Look at Keiko, or whatever it’s name was from Free Willy: it was acclimated back into the wild, learned how to hunt just fine, and in the end, it chose people over a whale pod, and decided to stay close to a bay in Norway, where it was very happy with the people around it. That is still freedom, and infinitely better than a cage. I agree, put the in a sanctuary or something at the absolute minimum! ✌🏼

The only reason there have been attacks and fatalities in captivity, and always by the same handful of orcas is blatantly obvious. They are locked in prison cells forced to perform every day of their lives. They don’t get a day off EVER and see their trainers as their prison guards. And just like humans, some will just keep their heads down low and make it through, others will be driven to psychosis and act out violently.

Richard East When I was a child, there was a Sea World in Ohio and I went with my family every year. They litter their shows in what they say are “facts” and dress everything up really nice to convince people that while it sucks keeping them in captivity, the animals were happy and well taken care of. As an adult, I know now that these were lies to make profit. But they claimed their trainers were marine biologists, that if we wanted to be trainers (which at one point I wanted it more than anything in the world) all we had to do was go to school and we could “join the Shamu family”. Also keep in mind that Sea World’s peek in popularity was in the pre-internet age. There was no KZbin, no Google. All we had were books and what they told us. Until recent years, they were the only “experts on captive orcas”. It’s disgusting now, but imagine a time when it was all we knew.

Although I agree to a certain extent, they still perpetuate their captivity for entertainment purposes. Loving an animal should not involve the entertainment of others.

[@saranoid]

These creatures are incredibly intelligent and awesomely powerful. Because they rely upon echo location to get a mental image of their surroundings, sonar calls that travel great distances in the ocean, a concrete tank feels like a jail cell. It is cruel for that reason, alone. They are intensely social animals and need to be with their pods, in the wild. You cannot build a big enough tank for a creature that swims hundreds of miles a day. SHUT. THE. PARKS. DOWN.

So if some die during the reintroduction or because they has not been reinstated, although this will be the last to die for a cause directly bind to their captivity.

[@alexasaltz4229]

Many years ago, I got to see orcas in a show. I thought that they were beautiful, majestic and I wanted to learn more about them. Back then, orcas in captivity was something new. We did not know much about them. SeaWorld and others in kind provided the opportunity to learn. We now know that orcas (and other creatures) should not be held captive. Most especially orcas should not be forcefully bred. Perhaps someday, humans might be able to interact with them in their natural habitat, possibly even communicating effectively. I now keep tabs on specific pods that live near the West Coast. Sadly, they are not doing as well as they should be. Humans need to be more mindful and considerate of the Earth's ecosystems so that it remains habitable for all creatures, not only ourselves.

The Marine Park displayed in this video is not SeaWorld, contrary to other comments posted. This is Marineland Cote D'azur in Antibes, France. It is the only aquarium in Europe that continues to hold orcas captive. Also, this video is over 5 years old. It is 2015 now. I first viewed this in 2010. This was a short while back before Blackfish was broadcast on CNN. My opinion: I find it disconcerting that very intelligent self-aware, emotional creatures have been removed from the wild and put on display against their will in the first place. No self-aware animal capable of developing an opinion on anything should be held in a small enclosure. Unfortunately, captive born or orcas are doomed to a lifetime of confinement. They have no idea what the ocean even is. For those who have been captured from the wild and never have reproduced, they should at least be put in a floating sea pen. This way, they could learn to find food by themselves. If they continue to be dependent on humans, then they should not have their personal agendas completely dedicated to human control. Captive mother orcas with calves should at least be allowed the space and free time to peacefully raise and bond with their young. This is impossible in a choreographed circus setting. The bottom line is, orcas are meant to function as individual, social creatures. They are not obligated to give us a thrill. This is what roller coasters are for.

Orcas and dolphins emit high-frequency clicks that are reflected back when the sound waves strike an object. They use sonar information to navigate, hunt, and communicate. Keeping them in those pools is cruel. All their natural 'clicks' hit the sides of the pool constantly, something which wouldn't happen in the wild. It must be enough to drive them mad being made to perform tricks in small pool... day in.. day out. So very sad. :(
