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.

But they look like there having fun when doing it but at the same time I am so sad on them

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!

@@sweetswirl they are abused and denied their natural habitats these wild animals need to roam the oceans not tiny pools

@Noor Fatima Shahid If you look you can see that some of the orcas dorsal fins are curved. Curved fins on orcas means they don’t have the right diet and could be given bad fish, it’s also from sadness (yes they can actually be sad orcas actually have emotions just like dolphins etc.) it’s also from not enough swimming space. It’s not just a cute “Aw look at his fin it’s curved!” no. It’s a bad thing. And most people already know that SeaWorld abuses their animals and other places too. Some other places might be nice to them, but none of it is healthy for the orcas at all. They need a lot more water than the small pools. They live in the ocean with much more freedom. At SeaWorld the only reasons they do these shows is for food, otherwise they might not get fed...

They're suffering.

@@MaWo329 *He

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.)

@@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.

This is almost exactly how I felt! They are truly just such magical creatures but it's the fact that they're so majestic that they should have never been put into captivity in the first place. It's just so sad that the very best they could hope for is still a pen.

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.

Seriously. You worded it perfectly. They made them seem like dogs and in fact they have the human intelligence equivalent of a 15-16 year old but just don't speak English or have apposable thumbs. That and that they feel emotional hurt far more than we humans can even understand. :(

Bc a documentary is never biased. I can't take my kids to anything cool from when I was kid. Well, this show and the circus. Poor children of today.

Only animal lovers can understand that because we dream of interacting with such beautiful creatures😂.... But the fact that they are captivated and starving (you can see their crazy desires to be fed) is heartbreaking....

I see no beauty in this .... if they turned the music off and no one was there you would feel differently. The power of music can make anything beautiful but it's a mask .... Orca's do not belong in tanks with humans riding them. It's actually ridiculous when you really think about it.

@@ashdenn06, I couldn't have agreed with you any more. Honestly.

Seriously, just think about it for a minute and realize how harsh that is. It's not like you're keeping a hyperactive dog indoors. It's an animal that lives in the vastness of the ocean and moves around in a way that humans can't imagine, and an aquarium of that size is the human equivalent of being locked in a one-square-foot cell for the rest of your life.

icecool1616 😂

If your stuck in a small pool and the only way to get food is to do tricks for the trainers, they r going to do tricks. They r doing it just for the food they have no other option.

The only shows Seaworld is doing with their orcas now is Orca Encounter, which is just as horrible. But the whales kind of need the exercise

Theres been talks of securing 200 acres of ocean around a small island for whales in captivity. But that will be very expensive and has other ethical concerns.

No animals would suffer, no people would end up injured or dead. They have been created for one reason only: out of greed, to make money on imprisoned and tortured animals. People working there often were lied to, their lives has been in danger for the sake of making profits.

@@lele5865 No, this show is absolutely beautiful! What is disgusting is this post-modernist human self-loathing that disguises itself as "animal loving".

@@lele5865 Humans and animals do not have the same psychology. 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. (More bored and less well-cared for.) ....Somehow, I think that you are more motivated by a hatred of capitalism and human joy rather than genuinely concerned about wild creatures.

@@lele5865 No, you have a different set of values. You literally (from the first sentence in your first reply to me) do not regard the lives of your own species -- humans -- as a greater value than that of other living species. ("So how about you[r] life in a little space...?") I don't think you even grasp the fundamental difference, in terms of cognitive level, between animals (ones even as intelligent as orcas) and humans. Those who attempt to raise animals to a status of "persons" with rights are those attempting to lower humans to the status of animals. We don't keep orcas (or any other livestock, for whatever purpose) for the benefit of the livestock. We capture and keep them and exhibit them for the benefit (including enjoyment) of humans.

Daran ist nichts toll, diese Tiere gehören in Freiheit und nicht mit fremden ihrer Artgenossen eingesperrt. Sie können teils nicht untereinander kommunizieren aufgrund der Dialekte und Sprachen.

Absolutely. The only Orca shows that should exist are in whale watching tours. What's hilarious is that many of these whale watching tours will have orcas who will volunteer to be part "the show". They stay in the area where the boats come and will do funny stuff like leaping out of the water, and splashing the boats with their tails. They do it for fun and most importantly BY CHOICE.

Not everyone is as RICH as you and your husband. LOWER middle class people (and middle class people with young children in tow) will want to go to these marine parks, zoos, and circuses to see the exotic animals which the smug rich go on safaris and boat excursions to see. They have a limited amount of time and money and this is where they can go. (...And, they will see far more of the orcas than you will, out at sea, anyway. They have viewing windows into the tanks when they go below.)

@@MrJm323 you can still see them on TV if you are curious.

@@MrJm323 Ridiculous. I don’t have money to take my kids on a expensive boat trip to watch orcas but taking them to SeaWorld would never cross my mind. This is not the way to teach children about animal conservation. This only teaches them that magnificent and highly intelligent creatures like orcas can be treated merely as pets to entertain people. Children should respect wildlife and the only way to teach them the values of conservation is by doing it in the respectful way. It’s stupid to think everyone “deserves” to see orcas so Seaworld should keep torturing them cause I don’t have the money to see them in the wild?!? Ridiculous. Take your kids to the forest and watch the wild birds, snorkel with them next time when at the beach to sea the beautiful underwater world, show them David’s Attenborough movies. This has more value than a visit to Seaworld and allows children to learn and experience wild animals and beauty of nature. Tickets to Seaworld are extremely expensive by the way. For the same price, when at the seaside, you can go for a short boat trip to watch animals like dolphins in their natural environment.

They would die if released

😡!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And how many die daily in the wild?

Now they have 18 and when the 18 are gone there will be no more capitive Orcas in the United States!

If you release those Orcas into the wild, many of whom have been in captivity since birth, would have no earthly idea what to do in the wild, how to hunt, etc. Furthermore, the males suffer from collapsed dorsal fins and are integral to a Orca's survival in the wild. They would be as useful as your dog in the wild. What a shame though

YEs indeed. These magnificent animals deserve to live where they belong, not for human entertainment. They live lives of depression anxiety and suffering in captivity. Watch the movie BLACKFISH

@@vtjake3761 Agreed, the theory would be a sea pen where they at least have some more room, but honestly, they are too intelligent to not get mental stimulation like from the shows. Its a shame that generations of orcas will never get to live the way they are supposed to because of people :(

What about pets? Is it not cruel to have pets? What about that chicken dinner you had last night, how you think k that got on your plate? What about the innocent insects you have killed throughout your life, do they not matter?

​@@05DonnieBoh my God I found a vegan Karen! Woooww! The difference is that chickens are food, and it isn't live a life in misery as the orcas (who are way smarter than chickens) are. These orcas are pretty much slaves. And you are complaining about dogs and cats, who are DOMESTICATED unlike orcas who are wild animals.

I don't see any psychological damage done to these whales. Have you seen any behind the scenes footage, ever? They're completely fine, unlike many other orcas at aquariums that couldn't care less about them. Also, they don't do tricks for fish. They will get fed regardless of their perfomance. Also, considering what happened to the last captive orca that was released... it's a very, VERY bad idea to release them. Sorry, I don't want to see them dead or actually stressed out

@メKawaiiYanderleeメ yes I saw footage on Inside the Tanks, Voiceless and Blackfish about the suffering. It stands to reason that they wouldn't be happy. They are confined to a space equivalent to a drop in the ocean, the place they should be. They are not with their pods, who, ordinarily, they would spend their entire lives with. They are highly social and intelligent and have their own cultures and languages. They are apex predators. Doing tricks for dead food day after day, year after year, being separated from their young, being placed in unnatural 'pods' etc would be depressing. And they don't get fed when they perform 'badly' or incorrectly. The day DB died Tilikum had incorrectly swum twice around the tank instead of once and food was withheld. I did see what happened with Keiko, but what is very, VERY BAD is capturing them in the first place for people's entertainment or financial gain etc

I do think they did love their trainers and orcas can bond with humans like nearly any animal can. They also can get frustrated and this is where it becomes a problem. They are so smart but it does hurt to see that this was all we had to offer them.

Don't feel guilty. You know now. Pre blackfish seaworld did good at keeping everything hidden. If you see it past 2013/Blackfish, then that would be cause for guilt.
