i thought Michael Jackson free'd Willy in like 1993 or something. :colour:

It's quite sad actually because I've been to SeaWorld many times and their orca shows are magnificent!!!

These orcas are unbelievably talented and they can do many things that humans can't even do!!

I don't even understand why people say it's classed as "animal abuse", I don't think it is at all. It's all because of that stupid "film" BLACKFISH (yes, i watched it and i absolutely HATED it!) people are going mad and calling it "abuse".

:flower:

It is abuse, they get put into a tank what is about the same size as a bath tub for them, and they are forced away from there family, some get attacked by other orcas as well.

So yes it is abuse :flower:

You seriously believe those myths from that stupid piece of propaganda BLACKFISH???

As I mentioned earlier, I've been to SeaWorld Orlando in person and they are so talented and skillful it's beyond belief.

People over-exaggerate these days it's so unreal, SeaWorld have been contributing greatly to animal conservation and they look after they're animals really carefully as I know many people who work there.

PETA can go fook themselves with all their vegan crap!!!

:flower:

Yes I do believe it. You've only been to SeaWorld as a viewer you don't work there and the workers are obviously going to say they treat the animals well.

and I'm not a vegan or a veggi :flower:

You've been fooled by their anti-SeaWorld propaganda, congratulations!!

Yes, but I know people that work there and they say they love the animals and the animals love them and they never lie to me, they always say that the animals love them aswell.

I wasn't referring to you, I was referring to those PETA scumbags who are more politically correct than the UK media.

:flower:

You can claim to love an animal whilst still mistreating it. Unless you're there behind the scenes and are an expert on killer whale behaviour then I suggest you stop acting like you know everything on the matter when you CLEARLY do not. Also I think it's honestly hilarious that you call an animal charity scumbags, it shows a lot about your personality and character. What a joke you have made yourself out to be.

'Political correctness is unnecessary in 2015'

You are unnecessary in 2015.

Freedom of Speech is necessary in 2015. There you go.

I find your post quite insulting and harmful. I KNOW people who work at these organisations and they never lie to me as they are experts.

At least those whales are being looked after properly and aren't being poached or hunted by some idiots. I'd rather see animals in captivity than being poached or hunted.

PETA are scumbags and they always have been. They're just a bunch of vegan tree-huggers who think that even touching an animal is wrong.

:dog: :flower:

Steve-O is going to kick your arse Reg-Holdsworth-troll. We already know he's willing to go to jail for his whale brethren.

I think their care workers honestly do believe they are being kind and I'm sure they do love the animals they care for but the truth is, its not kind to incarcerate animals that normally swim up to a hundred miles a day into small four walled tanks.

Dolphins are another example. A wild dolphin can live up to 90 years but captive dolphins have a life expectancy of around ten.

Both whales and dolphins rely on sonar for navigation but because their sonar signals bounce and echo off enclosed walls, it confuses these animals up to the point of some becoming insane.

Another thing is, they live and breath in chlorinated water which can affect their eyes, their breathing holes and their skin. All captive sea life that swim around in chlorinated water have a continual problem from skin ulcers.
