Last Killer Whale Born In Captivity: Behind The Scenes At SeaWorld (Exclusive) | TODAY

Yes there will be. In Loro Parque, Tenneriffe and other marine parks all over the world. SeaWorld is no way close to being the only prison for orcas.

[@lunathedragongamer21]

The point is , that SeaWorld is cruel

[@grammak3161]

Zoe Blast Everything about keeping these beautiful animals in captivity is WRONG! They rip the babies from their mothers and it’s horrible and should be illegal. All these big businesses care about is money! MONEY, MONEY, MONEY! I’d much rather live without tons of money than I would to see these animals being abused. It’s no wonder Tillikum killed that girl Dawn. Look what he went through! Sea world should be shut down lock, stock and barrel! It just breaks my heart to know how badly these animals are suffering at the hands of humans all for the love of money. Greed is what it is. PURE GREED!!! They should be ashamed of themselves but then again those that have no heart or souls haven’t the ability to feel empathy for these poor animals or anything or anyone else. It just really hurts my heart to know what they are going through and there’s no one that is willing to step up to the plate and do the right thing for these animals. After Dawn was killed they blamed her instead of themselves. What did they expect was going to happen? You can’t put an animal that is used to swimming 100’s of miles a day in a tiny pool and expect them not to get aggressive over time. These animals are very smart and the offspring stays with its mother all the time. They are also monogamous. They stay with the same mate for life. If you’ve never watched the movie “ Orca, The Killer Whale” try to watch it if you can. It’s a great movie and it tells you a lot about how they are and how they live. It’s not a documentary. It’s a regular movie but it’s pretty old. May be hard to find. My prayer is that someday all animals that are being kept in captivity will one day be released back into the wild where they’re supposed to be. They weren’t meant to be on display as some sort of show piece. It all just boils down to money. Just so sad. 😔🐬🐳🦁🐯🐒🐘🦏🐅🐪🦓🐋🦍🦒 Wishing everyone a very blessed day!

[@zcspaghetti7965]

Did the impregnate Morgan after they claimed they weren't breeding whales in captivity? ?

[@iChillypepper]

So magical, she died today! RIP KYARA!

[@DansespireRhianGunnarsen]

Died on my birthday

[@treesaxie]

If you watch Blackfish in 15 minutes, you'll know that Takara was taken away from HER mother when she was just a calf. And her mother basically lost her mind. It's the circle of CRUELTY.

[@CJ55981]

When Takara was moved, she was 13 and had a calf of her own. She was an adult. Also, when they show Kasatka "screaming", that's fake. Killer whales don't talk through their mouths. They use their blowholes to produce sound.

[@yamato9790]

She is super excited, amazing she said , and do everything she can to keep The baby whale in seaworld pools ... No remorse for the animal whatsoever..

[@EternalSilence1]

Sad how the 'last orca' , is now death. Good job, Sea world good job. It got an infection, cause of 'how good the fish tanks' are in sea world. Should be closed down and labeled as animal cruelty.

[@2makeaplaylist759]

Yeah, guess what, animals (especially babies) die. It's sad, but it's the truth. The low estimate for the infant mortality rate in wild orcas is 37%. The infant mortality rate for SeaWorld is 8%. It's much less common for babies to die at SeaWorld than in the wild.

[@valmacclinchy]

@@2makeaplaylist759 there's nothing natural about SeaWorld. Whales belong in the ocean.

[@arielthepom]

@@2makeaplaylist759 more like 80% at seaworld

I love how this video normalizes what they are doing and have done and barely touches on the harm

[@2makeaplaylist759]

I love how so many people have blindly believed a certain movie on Netflix about this topic.

[@Tbone1725]

Nah. Doesn't take a "certain movie on Netflix" to know this is cruel. I haven't even see Blackfish but know enough that it is wrong.

[@2makeaplaylist759]

Do you have anything other than emotional argument and misinformation to prove your point?

[@Tbone1725]

Yes and do you have anything that proves your point?

[@2makeaplaylist759]

Well it would be easier to do so if you presented the facts proving your point which I asked for first.

[@lydiagrace4216]

I feel sorry for this calf and every whale held in captivity!

[@2makeaplaylist759]

I feel sorry for everyone who blindly believes anti- (or pro-) SeaWorld propaganda! Use your brains, people! Do independent research!!

[@elizabethstansberry5459]

2make aplaylist I agree. I did all my research, and decided on my own opinion. I am pro SeaWorld, but I chose it based on what I learned.

[@lydiagrace4216]

I've done my research. I've looked at the for and against just like you and I came to my conclusion. I am entitled to my opinion!

[@lydiagrace4216]

Exactly, I did my research on both sides of the argument. I didn't base my opinion of one sided articles or exaggerated facts.

[@lydiagrace4216]

I stated that I 'felt sorry' for the calf because after doing my independent research on BOTH sides thats the conclusion that I came too. (anti sea world) You will have to give me a second as I cannot find the exact resources as I did comment this almost 2 months ago!

[@OsirisIxchel]

Great, swimming in circles for 25 years....

[@Miratesus]

Keiko was released and upon leaving his surveillance he showed up in Norway months later and was wellfed proving he knew how to hunt or atleast learnt it by himself.

[@2makeaplaylist759]

He showed up seeking human attention, and he never integrated into a wild pod.

[@Miratesus]

Yes I know.

[@gwendolynstata3775]

Before they released him, he was rehabilitated and retaught to hunt by humans.

[@caitlynkelly8859]

Keiko was twenty five, he'd been out of the ocean for 22 years. SW has three wild caught orcas, all over forty. Ulises, Katina and Corky. Corky is 53. Keiko was ignored and sometimes attacked by other pods, he seriously injured himself, rubbing most of his melon raw trying to break through ice, and continued to seek human interaction. an orca such as Takara, who has never so much as felt salt water, wouldn't last a month.

[@blakeduris2347]

why was he so excited. "and she will be born into captivity!"

[@NourKLI]

Historic? Magical? Dead sentence? They have a dead sentence in those parks the moment they are born. What kind of people work there? And these people laugh about it like it’s not a big deal.

[@ebray6364]

This makes me so mad dude like geez sea world is still backing up they're theory that that sea sanctuaries wouldn't work? Sea sanctuaries are closed off from the ocean and they would be feed like they are in tanks they would just live a better quality of life. These animals are not just animals they are so smart and if you do any type of research on them you'll figure that out. Ask anyone that works for sea world and they'll tell you that orcas live for 10 years and ask an actual marine biologist they can live longer than 70 YEARS. They only live 10 years in captivity. The fact that sea world Is bringing in another orca into this prison you call sea world is sad. And if you're a sea world lover watch blackfish watch Peta videos and get the fact from people who are not trying to make a multimillion dollar company.

[@JimiBLong]

The title of this video should now be changed to "Last Killer Whale Born In Captivity, Three Month Old Kyara, Died In Captivity" At 1:46 trainer Julie Sigman says.... Oops.... Well, that was awkward. Didn't quite turn out to be so amazing after all. Did it, Julie?

[@WarNoMoreMan]

These people are delusional. Death sentence IS SEAWORLD!

[@kattykillfish]

I wonder if they will take the baby from it's mom after a couple years like they did to a lot of the others?

[@FeistyFins]

Mitzi Monster they haven't taken any mother from calves since 2009. get your facts straight, Takara isthere with her 2 daughters in her pod.

[@kattykillfish]

I still wonder if they will. I am glad that there will be no more captive Orcas born in Seaworld, they made the right decision by ending captive breeding.

[@lydiagrace4216]

Its still no life for the whales they should be in their natural habitat

[@alec123210]

This isn't historic.... what a joke!!!!!!!!

[@2makeaplaylist759]

How is this not historic?? This calf will be the last orca to be born at SeaWorld. Pretty sure that's historic.

[@robertav9664]

what if a whale become pregnant naturally?Everything is possible

[@peopleeatingtastyanimals5208]

ROBERTAV96 Huh? They do... in this thing called "the wild". & orcas aren't whales, they're dolphins(I'm dead serious). They just look like whales to stupid people. It's like how it's hard for the average person to tell the difference between an alligator and a crocodile.

[@2makeaplaylist759]

They have also become pregnant naturally in captivity. I think they were asking about what would happen if an accidental pregnancy happened at SeaWorld. SeaWorld has stated that if an orca were to get pregnant by accident, they would allow the pregnancy to go through. They wouldn't terminate the pregnancy. Orcas are taxonomically considered both whales and dolphins. They are the largest member of the dolphin family, and all dolphins are whales. Therefore, orcas are both dolphins and whales. Maybe don't call people stupid unless you know what you're talking about.

[@robertav9664]

Correct Pet Care i was asking what would happen if an accidental preganancy happened in the tank your dumb. 2make apaylist thank you

"This is a historic moment", famous last words.

[@meganproffitt424]

This calf died a few months after birth, just FYI

[@marienault754]

Magical? Historic? You claim the wild to be a death sentence yet this calf didn't even live to be a year old. And let's not mention how SeaWorld separates mothers from their calves. Kasatka was separated from Takara. And Takara was separated from Kohana and Trua.

[@normanwhite4792]

Stop imprisoning Orcas in puddles, when they're the King's and Queens of the Oceans.

[@wolf-9579]

This isn't a big issue there aren't many orcas and dolphins in captivity anyway it is a great opportunity to see the animals and perform tricks. Most of these creatures spend their life in the ocean anyway so just stop complaining and enjoy about 10% of the orca and dolphin population perform!

[@noaaria8849]

knowing seaworld and there awful ways... they're going to take the calf away.

[@isobel6341]

A sea sanctuary wouldn't work? You've got to be kidding me. No one is proposing that you go and dump the whales in the wild, obviously they don't know how to hunt!!! This whole report is twisting all the facts in Seaworld's favour. It's laughable that they say that they actually care about the wellbeing of the whales when it is all about MONEY. Activists are proposing that they are released into a sea pen which would be much bigger than their tanks and would enable them to be in a natural environment and free of performing, whilst still remaining under human care (food, vet care). They could probably even still charge for people to come and see the animals in their NATURAL environment and performing NATURAL behaviours, without all the suffering!! They wouldn't be totally free but they are free to live the rest of their lives in the natural current of the ocean and possibly even communicate with family across the net. A massive improvement compared to swimming around a concrete bath tub and performing for the rest of your life if you ask me.

[@thorrozz]

hen now let it go. these animals dont do well in captivity. and this lady crying about a birth in a cage thinking its wonderful. when it is far from it. i think its just sad. seaworld shouldnt be allowed to keep them anymore.

[@thorrozz]

i know that. im saying that having these large animals in small fishtanks is the abuse to begin with.. this animal shouldnt of been born in captivity to begin with. saying release it is more of a statement.

[@thorrozz]

also seaworld has a long long story of abusing these animals .. at night they would put them in tiny tanks. where they would cry all night long.. i mean really cry.

[@thorrozz]

also they are known for swimming long distances. and i mean long distances. longer distances then these tanks offer.

[@thorrozz]

one more things. we have little understanding of the affects on theyr "psychy" but they have recorded that they are depressed when kept in captivity. so do some reading..

[@2makeaplaylist759]

I've done lots of reading, and unbiased, independent research on the issue. First of all, SeaWorld was not the one that used tiny tanks at night. That was Sealand of the Pacific, the park that Tilikum was at before he came to SeaWorld. The use of that tiny tank, or "module," truly was cruel, and if Tilikum was a bit psychotic, I think it would be from those nights at Sealand, rather than anything at SeaWorld. It's true that orcas are capable of swimming up to 100 miles a day. However, this likely isn't "just for fun" -- it's more likely a foraging and hunting behavior. They wouldn't waste valuable calories. Saying that they *need* to swim 100 miles a day to be healthy is like saying that a human needs to run a marathon every month or so just because people are capable of it. Also, to use another example, there are people in third-world countries who have to walk miles every day to get clean water. Would you object to getting clean water put in where they live, because they "have" to walk that far to be healthy? There haven't actually been any scientific studies that show captive orcas to be depressed.

[@RONJAE212003]

They talked about Sanctuaries, but ridiculously went on to talk about release, when that's not at all what an Orca Sanctuary would be like. Sanctuaries offer the candidate(s) to live a more natural life, in their native environment, but still remain under the constant care of qualified staff. There is no releasing. There's a huge difference. And Kyara has passed. That was 5 deaths in the past 7 months at Seaworld.

a little late for a response but bassically the keiko project costed millions of dollars to rehabilate him to teach him how to hunt, how to be in his own, But in the end keiko aka free willy managed to survive in open ocean for 5 years before dying of pneumonia. Imo its a victory but seaworld will never put their remaining orca in samctuaries. Pure and simple they have the last remaining captive orcas in the states.
