I'm right there with you on this one Baz.
Orca's simply do not need to be in captivity.....for any reason.
No matter what Sea World may publicly state, an Orca's only purpose in their facilities is to generate money.
Anything they may spout off about conservation is a bunch of lies and BS.

Cutting an Orca's life in half is just not OK for the sake of our entertainment and making Sea World a buck.
And for one, I do believe some animals do have emotions of some sort.
Perhaps nothing we could recognize as human, but that doesn't make their type of feelings any less valid.
They are known to be extremely intelligent mammals.
They travel in pods, communicate with each other, etc, etc.
We understand so little about them....how can we know what is best for them?
There are times that the cruelty, selfishness, arrogance, greed and callousness of humans is quite startling.
We do it constantly to our own species....to our own children at times.
Sick that we do it do other species who can't fight back.
I think that Sea World does have something to hide.
In my experience with our beloved Federal government, lack of transparency ALWAYS means something bad is taking place behind the scenes.
Same here....
Crazy world man....
