SeaWorld's Old Shamu "Believe" Show With Trainers in the Water!!!

[@idontbelonganywhere1136]

my heart hurts for them. although they are magnificent and are absolutely beautiful to watch, everytime i think of how they spend their entire lives stuck in that tiny pool of water, training and performing so humans can earn money and derive joy from watching them, it just breaks my heart. they deserve to be free in the wild.

[@jjrhmn5856]

i agree they deserve to be free in the wild. but if they've lived longer in captivity, they can't just be released into the wild. remember what happened to Keiko the Orca.

This is so true. When you watch the show I’m in awe of how talented these magnificent creatures of The FATHER CREATOR are, but when I think about they are trapped as an Slave without freedom to be their intended to be and live, it then becomes very sad. They should be free in the ocean!

They made it seem like orcas had the intelligence/temperment of dogs. Then Blackfish came out and revealed the truth these poor slaves had to endure.

[@hurricanelem]

yeah, I saw this show in 2006 when I was still a little kid and it won my heart. for years, I wouldn't even refer to orcas as orcas or killer whales, they were just "shamus". I watched blackfish for the first time in my senior year of high school a few years back and it destroyed me. you start to feel guilty for even seeing them at some point, whether it was in your control or not. I spend a lot of my time now looking into more information. if anyone can stomach more hard truth, they should check out john hargrove's interviews. he was a trainer at many seaworlds and marineland for about 14 years and his insight is...harrowing.

Incredible presentation with so emotions and that dark side of captivity.

[@MrJm323]

There IS no "dark side of captivity" regarding ANIMALS. Stop anthropomorphizing animals! Even the more intelligent mammals (like chimps, orangutans, dolphins, orcas, etc.) do not plan out and pursue careers, accumulate cultural knowledge and transmit it to future generations, carry out any long-term projects, etc.. They all lack the uniquely human characteristic of the CONCEPTUAL level of cognition (which involves a sophisticated level of mental abstraction and integration of perceptual impressions). They are not people! ...These mammals live in annual cycles of hunting and eating, migrating, mating, rinse-and-repeat, year-in and year-out. In captivity, they are relieved of the burden of satisfying one powerful need: the pursuit of food. Their intelligence (which they'd normally use in coordinated hunting and capturing of food) is used in learning the tricks that their trainers teach them and interacting with their human handlers in other ways. ...And, why is it that you "free the orcas!" types always omit to recall that there WAS the freeing of a captive orca: the 'Free Willy' orca, Keiko? He was a big story back in the late '90s and early 2000s. Now, he is largely forgotten. Keiko was successfully taught (by his rehabilitators) how to hunt for his food. What he wouldn't do was integrate into a pod of orcas (which would have made his survival better, since they often coordinate to hunt for their food). ...The scientists who rehabilitated Keiko KNEW that he could survive and hunt enough food, because he was of sufficient weight after his journey from Iceland (where he was freed) to Norway, where they found him hanging around the fishing village in a Norwegian fjiord. He was able to eat enough on his ocean journey. However, he was back among humans within a couple of months of being "freed". He preferred human companionship over joining any pod of wild orcas. And, that's all that would happen if you were to free THESE orcas. (They'd just come into harbors and hang around with humans. ...They would actually be safer in those tanks in random harbors.)

[@KarelChytilArt]

@@MrJm323 Dark side of captivity, i mean that depression, anger which very intelligent mammals have .. so like orcas. So its dark side of captivity because they are more often in that wrong mind state and they can kill you easily. No word about setting them free" from my side. We should avoid to catch these mammals in terms of joy and earning money.

​@user-gu3hy7it2b I know that the trainers do care for the whales deeply, but the whales do not simply perform because they are altruistic or eager to please humans. They are not like dogs.

@@stacibabyyyx6268 I’ve been to Seaworld, it’s EXPENSIVE to make these huge pools for them. They have 24/7 Veterinary care. There are medical pools and there’s different pools all over the park for them that people don’t see. They keep them really active with the shows and they said that not every show is the same that they switch things up so the whales don’t get bored. I watched Seaworld behind the scenes Dawn was in it but the work and LOVE that goes into these Whales and dolphins it’s just through the roof. I went to Miami Seaquarium to see Lollita the killer whale she’s 54 years old and lives in the smallest tank in the world. She only does like a 10 minute show two times a day three times a week but it must be really depressing to be in a 30 foot pool. I’m sure you saw the movie free Willy. Due to peoples outrage they released him it was a $20 million project that failed, they let him loose in Iceland, he traveled 900 miles to find human companionship in Norway. He saw Whales but didn’t want anything to do with them, he followed boats, showing up in peoples beachfront backyards. I’m sure he kind of felt confused and abandoned. He couldn’t find food so a lot of people won’t tell you this but this is what really happened he died of starvation, loneliness, pneumonia. After 25 years in captivity he was used to the love of humans, being fed by humans, his body also adapted to the chlorinated pool, Which was a different temperature than Iceland and I’m sure that’s why he got sick he died 4 months after being “freed” So people need to chill out with releasing the Orcas, the violent ones Are the ones that would probably have to go to a sea pen by the ocean but that’s even risky. There Phasing out orcas and sea world and there is no more breeding so this will be the last of its kind and now I would say maybe 30 or 40 years from now sea world would be shut down because people come to see the killer whales. But nothing was more magical than believe, They are so smart!

If SeaWorld did what you WANTED -- which is to terminate all shows (including the current ones where the trainers simply refrain from getting into the water with them, but still have them do tricks) -- would that help the "boredom" issue? They won't release them because you'll have a dozen or two 'Keikos' (who WAS released into the wild) swimming into harbors and human-populated bays to be near the creatures they are now socialized to: Humans. Would you like some of these orcas killed by accidental collision with marine traffic (injured by boat propellers and the like)? (Indeed, MOST of the orcas in captivity especially in North America, Europe, Japan, etc. are now captive-BORN orcas. They definitely can never be re-integrated into the wild or into wild pods of orcas.) The REAL reason you don't like the shows is that you don't like these corporations "profiting" from the captivity. Never mind that if they didn't profit these orcas would be worse off.

Orcas raised by human can’t go into the wild anymore. They would die from hunger or storm or some cause. They may look the same but they aren’t like their wild counterparts. They can’t really survive the harsh environment while finding for food. Idk how they feel about living inside the pool, but they look very happy with their trainers. They’re like family and friends to them. Many things can cause anxiety to them. I just hope they won’t be forced out to live by themselves and die off.

[@tessdurberville711]

Search: Port and Starboard Orcas.

[@CATSWITHKYLA]

There are lots of reasons why this happens and it's because of the tanks ........................... Gravity: Gravity acts on the fin's fibrous connective tissue Lack of movement: Insufficient movement affects the tissue structure. Cartilage breakdown: Long exposure to warm air can break down cartilage. Unidirectional swimming: Swimming in small, shallow circles in one direction. Lack of diving: Tanks are too shallow for diving. Less fin support: Spending a lot of time at the water's surface and not swimming far. Repetitive circular swimming: Orcas often swim in a repetitive circular pattern. Lack of abeyant pressure: Tanks aren't deep enough for the even pressure on both sides of the fin. Irreversible structural change: Over time, the fin's collagen may undergo an irreversible structural change. Breakdown of collagen-backbone fibers: The collagen-backbone fibers of the dorsal fin may break down in response to environmental stressors. One-sided pressure: Captive orcas have to constantly turn due to the shape of the tank, which puts more pressure on one side of the fin than the other. Loss of structural integrity: Also known as LSI, this may be due to lack of water depth, boredom, and over-exposure to the sun. Speed: Captive whales don't have enough space to reach the speeds of 3 to 4 mph in the wild, which can keep the fin strong and upright. According to Whale & Dolphin Conservation USA, 1% of wild orcas have collapsed dorsal fins.

At 04:12 you can see that the trainer had reason to bring distance between him and the whale as fast as possible. Maybe the whale did his trick without clear sign from the trainer or did it at a different place. No good sign to me that the trainer is kinda afraid.
