This showed up in my news feed and I thought it was pretty interesting. Im curious to know blf's opinion on this though.

i mean its not like the captive orcas can go back to the ocean without a lot of conditioning to remove the human imprint from them, if its even possible

oh and its was mostly supported by peta so theres that

I've heard that it made some pretty libelously incorrect statements about Seaworld.

I've heard that it made some pretty libelously incorrect statements about Seaworld.

But what if what you heard was actually just libelously incorrect statements about the movie??

Sub-discussion on topic: I believe you.

Actually on topic: I am not really surprised about this considering the frequent criticism they got about their Orcas.

idk if it was incorrect or not but to summarize the movie they talked about:

-orcas in captivity (seaworld) live shorter lives than free
-its suspicious that all wild-orca attacks have been nonfatal, but a good sum of captive ones have been
-people working with orcas at seaworld arent very qualified to interact with them professionally
-the orcas are kept in crampt, dark, isolated, and unfit cages when not preforming
-seaworld is money-hungry and doesn't care about the good of the orcas

etc

basically they think seaworld doesn't treat orcas right

Aren't they (supposedly?) bred at a dangerously young age? Also seperated from mothers at a young age?

I am only going off of infographics I've seen posted on Facebook though.
