..I don't fully understand this because they seem to replacing one kind of killer whale show with another, so still keeping the whales in captivity..only possibly having them more in direct contact with the public while they're so unpredictable because of the cruel conditions they're kept in..?...


In addition to ending its breeding program, SeaWorld is phasing out its signature killer whale theatrical stunt shows and will replace them with "new, inspiring, natural orca encounters" that will focus on "orca enrichment, exercise, and overall health," the group said in a statement. The change will be implemented in its San Diego theme park in 2017 and in its parks in San Antonio and Orlando throughout the next two years. SeaWorld had announced its San Diego plans last year.
