The D.C. Circuit’s decision to the effect that SeaWorld must keep
trainers out of the water, signals an end to the days of trainers standing and
riding on orcas for human amusement at SeaWorld. With the life-threatening
dangers to trainers and the detrimental effects of enslaving intelligent,
social, and far-ranging orcas and confining them to concrete tanks, SeaWorld’s
tawdry shows will soon be a thing of the past. SeaWorld needs to make the only
responsible and humane choice and develop coastal sanctuaries for the orcas it
confines and finally bring its business into the 21st century.
A senior trainer at SeaWorld testifies that SeaWorld knew of the danger
the trainers are in when in the water with orcas. Orcas also the ones living in
a cramped concrete water tank at SeaWorld are and will remain wild animals. These
magnificent animals are powerful and they can become deadly when provoked.
Believe me when I say that the orcas at SeaWorld are provoked every single day.
To keep the male orcas from fighting each other they get sedated. If orcas had
enough space they simply would avoid each other, but at SeaWorld, this isn’t
possible. Orcas belong, like any other wild animal that’s kept for human
entertainment, in the wild. Animals are not ours to abuse and use for entertainment,
period! Hell I don’t even force my li’ll dog to preform if he doesn’t want too.
After all he’s not mine to abuse or to use for entertainment!
I hope that SeaWorld soon get their act together and create these much
needed sanctuaries alongside the coast were orcas and dolphins alike finally
get some peace and quiet. A life that they deserve!
I for one keep signing the petitions to urge SeaWorld to create
sanctuaries and stop use and abuse these beautiful creatures.
