Sea World was asked repeatedly to participate in the documentary but refused.
The documentary includes interviews with several former Sea World trainers who share their opinions and offer commentary.
If to some it appears "one-sided" it could be because Sea World declined to participate.
Otherwise it is an eye-opening piece.
I didn't realize Orca's natural life expectancy in the wild was similar to humans. Except of course for those in captivity - where it drops to about 35 years.
Did you know that Sea World in their "infinite wisdom" separated on more than one occasion a mother and calf.....even though in the wild they never part from each other....just to reduce the distraction for their "performances"? The mother whales didn't know what was happening....their children were taken away.....and they shutdown....and cried and cried.
Ever hear a whale cry? It's one of the saddest sounds you will ever hear.
Only when primitive-thinking, immoral, and greedy humans get involved.
