[@ZYGTropicals]

They arent killers like that! In the wild, they NEVER attack humans! They swim right up next to people, but they never hurt anyone. These animals are attacking because they are psychologically unstable due to being taken out of nature and put into these small environments and forced to do tricks for food! Mentally, they break, and it only happens in captivity! It should be completely outlawed to take these animals out of the wild!

[@HealthHorror]

This happened to the best trainer at a show and he was a diver too so he knew about breathing techniques. The whale would bring him up and instead of panicking he just calmly pet it while doing his breathing. Then it would take him back to the bottom. This happened like 4 times. He finally got loose and swam to the stage and got up to run as far away from the water as possible but his feet were so mangled, he couldn't stand and kept falling. But due to his diving skills, he survived it.

Other trainers start calling and distracting orcas. 0:40 Dragged down trainer finally pops on left side of screen while orcas are still being distracted.

One of the orcas involved is Orkid, Seaworld's most intelligent orca. She was born in 1988 in Seaworld San Diego. Orkid is a Northern Resident, North Atlantic Type 1 hybrid. Her father, Orky, was Canadian, and her mother, Kandu V, was from Iceland. Orkid lost her mother in a tragic accident when she was only 11 months old. She was raised by Corky (Northern Resident) and Kasatka (Icelandic). Orkid has lost her father, mother, and best friends Splash, Sumar and Nakai. The trainers gave her the nickname 'rocket scientist.' She was involved in several incidents.

Whole park got shut down for the rest of the day after the attacks and leaving was scary. We had been in some indoor acrobatics show when the rest of the park had emptied out, so there were only a few visible employees and no other members of the public in the park when we got told to make our way out. There were only about 20-30 cars left in the whole lot.

Also incredible that the man who is slapping the water here is Ken Peters, who himself is extremely lucky to be alive after being attacked by Kasatka!

I find myself asking "why would I believe a paid SW trainer over two highly educated scientists like Dr. Visser and Dr. Naomi Rose who both agree that captivity is harmful. So what if you "love" the whales! If you did love them, you would do what's in THEIR best interest, not yours. That's what love is. Love does not equal captivity!

Anita Marie Yes, it is totally creepy! Especially the creepy fake smile that woman gives after saying "I wouldn't work here if it wasn't!" And what a lame argument that is. Thank goodness people are waking up. I'm hearing that people are leaving lots of comments on the SeaWorld commercial video on KZbin and surprise, surprise....SeaWorld is deleting all the "negative" (read: truthful) comments and they're keeping only the postive comments that I'm sure 95% of which are written by Sea World PR staff or other employees.

The best part is that when the trainer, that was attacked, was walking backstage, you don't see any blood. If there was any, it was very little and absorbed into the suit. That being said. If the Orca had wanted to do damage. It would've. This was clearly a temper tantrum being thrown out of frustration and stress. They are so very intelligent.

I nearly drowned once, the adrenaline and your instinct kicks in. You stop sensing pain, you don't even think about breathing, you don't consider the water in your mouth and eyes, you have no concept of time, your entire thought process becomes linear and the only thought is the method needed to get you above the surface. Literally nothing else crosses your mind, it's completely out of your hands.

*heres whats going on,* and LOTS of backstory information, if anyone didnt know or is genuinely wondering(also, this incident was NOT in blackfish - thats another one with orkid and SPLASH, not sumar): timestamps ⬇️ - 0:01 at the beginning, you see orkid (female, still alive) splashing people coming from the left side, and sumar (male, deceasd 2010) with a trainer on his back/side on the right. - 0:02 when both orcas are whistled to come to the stage, the trainer jumps off and sumar goes to, well the stage. - 0:05 orkid, however, swims back, she sees the trainer in the open water and begins to attack. - 0:10 you can see orkid swimming towards the trainer - 0:13 the trainer is dragged down, orkid partially surfaces. - 0:21 sumar leaves his trainer. for a couple seconds sumar and orkid did something under the water, moving him toward the left side of the pool. - 0:22 the other trainers at the stage start slapping the water in order to get the whales attention. they also bring out the yellow tone box, also used to get the whales to come to the stage. - 0:38 both whales finally go to the stage(sumar on the left, orkid at the right). - 0:43 you can see how the trainer tells orkid to follow him going farther away from the trainer she had previously attacked. for a couple of seconds she doesnt look at the trainer, more a sign of her looking for the guy she just attacked. - 0:48 she(orkid) quickly gave up and is called to do another behavior (trick). - 0:49 the injured trainer starts swimming towards the stage. - 1:08 although when the trainer that was attacked was on stage and had no tears in his wetsuit, he could be seen limping while heading backstage. edit october 11 2021: i added timestamps and a little bit of info about orkid(below), hope this makes it easier to understand! 3rd edit, nov 13 '22; i rolled back to this video and decided to add more information on orkids story, with the death of another one of her best friends earlier this year. the parts between lines is where i added more content, for anyone who has seen this comment before. *this part may contain a trigger warning* why did orkid(and sumar) do this? i cant tell you for sure. HOWEVER, at three days old, orkids father died(this just means that orkid would have less of a parental like figure around - male killer whales dont play any role in the youth of their offsprings young and actually leave the mother once they mate). on august 21, 1989, orkids mother, kandu v (5) decided to ram another whale named corky II (2) during the middle of a show. corky II had 7 calves, and the longest one, name kiva, survived just over 40 days. corky II noticed that kandu v's calf (orkid) was going to survive, and therefore wanted to help out simply because she could no longer have a calf of her own. kandu v, being a very aggressive whale, did not like how her daughter was getting attention from corky II. kandu v, in the midst of a show, rammed and pushed corky II *HARD* into a wall, rupturing a part of her abdomen. however, kandu v had the *WORST* of it. she swam into the back pool, bleeding to death. nearly 11 month old orkid witnessed everything and followed her mother. trainers moved the mother and calf into a med pool where it was discovered kandu v had broken her jaw violently and wasnt going to survive. they were let out of the med pool, where at one point kandu v beached herself. every time she had to take a breath (because orcas are mammals), blood went everywhere. trainers could be seen cleaning the bloodied walls, it was like spray paint. 45 minutes after kandu v attacked corky II, kandu v died. very young orkid, seeing every moment of everything, circled her mothers lifeless body at the bottom of the pool for a few hours before it had to be removed. corky II suffered a nearly blind left eye as well, but still lives to this day. orkid also lives with corky II. both have not moved out of the small tanks at seaworld san diego for over 30 years, heck orkid hasnt moved once. another whale was there at the time of the incident, named knootka, however she never came in contact with kandu v on that fateful day. knootka died a year later in 1990. ----------- with that being said, orkid has also lost other whales around her pretty constantly. splash came in from marineland ontario in the early 90s as a result of the health problems he gained from his father(kandu VII/7, who would later die of cancer. all calves at marineland would be sired by kandu vii, and several of them, like nova and malik, would have long lasting health problems). splash was originally named katak(but seaworld has to change it to a very basic whale name) and eventually started suffering from seizures once at seaworld san diego. at one point, splash hit a gate as a result of a seizure, and orkid quite frankly saved him from the incident, which would leave splash's jaw permanently open, and the tip would become quite bent. in 1991, kasatka(moved in 1990) gave birth to takara, another female companion for orkid. in 1999, very young male "sumar" would join the pod as a result of his mother, taima, violently rejecting him at a few months old. however, in 2000, sumar would be moved to seaworld ohio, returning a year later following seaworld ohios closure. in 2001, kasatka gave birth to nakai, who was the first orca to be born and sired through artificial insemination(AI). 8 months later, in 2002, takara gave birth to her first calf, another female, named kohana(also sired via AI). all seems to be going good, right? orkid has many pod members and she still lives with her best friends, takara, sumar, and splash. however, in 2004, takara and kohana were shipped across the country to seaworld orlando. takara would later moved to seaworld san antonio in 2009(where she does live today), and kohana would move to loro parque in 2006(where she recently died 60 days ago in mid september from a birth defect - something she had all her life). in spring of 2005, splash died from his health issues. its thought that sumar and orkid were at the med pool gate when he died. nakai, sumar, and orkid became a well known pair and were often seen together. in 2010, sumar suddenly died, and a well known video of a helicopter angle view can be seen with orkid and sumar's dead body. she was "stuck" in the med pool, and can be seen moving her head towards his body as it was moved out of the tank for a necropsy(animal autopsy). 2012 and 2013 brought hope for orkid. shouka, a female just younger than orkid, moved to the park, followed by kasatka giving birth to her 4th calf(kalia was born in 2004), a male later named makani. in 2017, kasatka was euthanized after long term ongoing(and incredibly noticeable) failing health. similar to splash's death, makani and orkid were at the gate where kasatka died. very recently, in august of 2022, nakai died as well. orkid has never had a calf despite mating with nearly every male at seaworld san diego, including AI attempts. shes basically infertile (theres no reason to believe otherwise), and i wonder how much it would affect her if she did half a child of her own. orkid's never moved out of seaworld san diego. she's lived in the same tank for everything. EVERYTHING. 34+ years, 17 recorded incidents(probably more). is that really worth it? ----------- please please please dont believe everything these parks tell you. seaworld says their shows are NOT entertainment, however the whales, like orkid, still do completely unnatural behaviors. they dont do front flips in the wild. they dont beach themselves in the wild, in fact none of the orcas would do that (none are argentinain. only around 5 orcas have ever beached themselves for seals). they wouldnt spin around or wave at you. thats called entertainment, not education. its not wild nor is it natural. these arent wild animals. most havent even been outside seaworlds walls. one of my favorite quotes is "dolphin shows are meant to WOW you, not educate you". because, its true. your fascinated by what they can do, you dont stop to actually think if they would do that in the wild. #emptythetanks more bonus info from previously: edit may 11 2021: i see this has a lot of attention so i thought id include so bonus info here is whats under "behavioral incidents" on a 2010 seaworld official animal record: 11/15/06 Dunked Trainer and here is that report on the incident (the document i got this from doesnt allow me to copy stuff so sorry if somethings a bit off). also yes, that confirms that the other whale was indeed sumar like i had previously thought. "In November 2006, she was performing a double waterwork sequence with Sumar in a show. Sumar and his trainer were on a fluke splash behavior while she was sent on a dry fluke splash behavior. Sumar's trainer dove into the pool and asked for a stage call. Both whales responded but as the trainer began to swim toward the stage she turned and grabbed him by the foot. She let him go and responded to a hand slap stage call. It took about three slaps for this response." extra: (two paragraphs down) "We have been out of the water with Orkid since November 2006 as a result of another incident."

Wild ones catch their prey and throw it back into the sea to catch it again for fun like a house cat does with a mouse. A group of only 2 Orcas can easily kill a Blue Whale, and they have been observed to do this and then only eat the tongue as it's their preferred part. A formerly captive Orca would have absolutely no trouble finding food. Their struggles in the open water would likely be more of a social nature (ie finding other Orcas, successfully coexisting with them without conflict, and breeding) as they have grown up in cramped conditions and without any normal kind of interaction with other Orcas. This is the equaivalent of a human being imprisoned in an area of around 20 square metres, never allowed outside and spending many long periods of time in solitary confinement.

@@JokerAzn123 people who are put in jail most likely did something to deserve their sentence. And even in those cases, solitary isolation can cause the human mind to break. These whales have such an advanced dialect that they sometimes aren’t able to connect with whales from other pods, and humans don’t have to walk hundreds of miles a day, like an orca would have to. I’m not a marine biologist, I’m just not stupid. I don’t know why I have to say this, but humans and jails, are different than orcas and tanks. Can people really be this dense?? 🤷🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

[@christinaliannemusic]

I'm pretty the sure bald trainer who is the one most aggressively splashing the water to get the orcas to come is Ken Peters. He was attack by Kasatka during a show and almost lost his life. Kasatka grabbed Ken by his foot and brought him to the bottom of the pool for about a minute. The orca then brought Ken to the surface for a few seconds then dragged him back down by his foot again for even a longer time than the first. This whole time, Kasatka never let go of Ken's foot in her mouth and even began thrashing him! Ken was able to calm Kasatka down and swim to safety but even while out of the water Kasatka still continued to come up to try to grab Ken again. The foot part of his wetsuit was ripped off which left him with a severely broken foot not to mention a near drowning experience. Seaworld open your eyes! Captive orca's are not beneficial to orcas or humans

[@fredricgreenblott4169]

As a general update: The man involved in the attack, Ken Peters, still works as an orca trainer for SeaWorld San Diego to this very day. The whale that attacked him, Kasatka, was euthanized in 2017 following her lung condition worsening. The reason behind the attack was that Kasatka's calf, Kalia, was vocalizing to her at the time (SeaWorld would separate the mothers and calves during shows most of the time a decade ago) and it was Kalia's cries to her mother that drove Kasatka to attack.

[@scottcharney1091]

That's a different incident, that occurred about two weeks after this one. Peters is the bald man assisting in distracting the whales.

[@santigallodelabesa3138]

@@hunnuunny Are you actually being serious...? That's hilarious. Kasatka was having SEVERE health issues before she was put down. If you look at images of her before she died, the bacteria that was killing her lungs had been spreading to the rest of her body, eating away at her flesh and causing her to be in immense pain with patches of blistered skin falling away. The vets couldn't do anything more for her and put her down. After the 2006 incident here, she did not aggress on another trainer again for the remaining 11 years of her life. Even declassified documents regarding her behavior sheet at SeaWorld mentioned quite clearly that she had a bacterial infection that was gradually worsening.

JD21 The water has a high chlorine content that hurts the whales eyes. The whales suffer a lot from the sun, they can't dive deep enough to get protection from the sun so they get burnt, blisters & their skin peels away. Both male & female whales are violated for artificial insenimation. Seaworld separates calves from mothers. Out of relentless boredom, the whales often ram their heads out of the tank . The whales often sustain injuries from attacks by other whales, sometimes fatal. The most recent case only a couple of months ago, Nanuq a beluga whale was attacked by two other belugas & his jaw got injured. By the time he received treatment the injury had become infected & he died! The whales have to endure loud music & flashing lights. Captivity takes it's toll on these whales, so Seaworld pumps them full of Anti-Physcotic drugs! All the above happens in SeaWorld. Would you call it beneficial?
