I think that Lauren Edwards should stop this horrific crime. My suggestion? If she farts all of the orcas in captivity will break free. NICE

People need to get their facts straight. First, Orca’s don’t eat sea horses. There have been no orca attacks that have ever occurred by orca’s in the wild, the only orca attacks that have occurred have been when the orca was in captivity and even then there have only been 6 deaths by orca. Third,over 5.4 million people are killed each year by smoking worldwide and I don’t think their have been any deaths by randy pigeons!!! Get your facts straight. Oh and another thing, orcas by are supposed to have 48 foot tanks and that are at least 12 feet deep. The average orca is about 24 feet long. The orcas take up half the length of the tank that they are supposed to live in and people think that’s fair. Well personally, I think it’s perfectly fine to rehabilitate animals and keep them in captivity until they are capable to be out in the ocean again, but I believe that every marine mammal that is taken out of the ocean should be returned. The same goes for sharks, turtles,and really all other wild animals. Humans have taken over the world, and the animals are getting pissed, hence all the attacks. Sooner or later, they’re gonna try and take it back.

if it was up to me all orcas would be in captivity. they are a menace in the ocean and need to be stopped. did you know that one killer whale can consume over 3000 sea horses an hour! Unbelievable!! They also kill more people per year than smoking and randy pigeons. The buggers!

It’s so wrong. It is amazing that people can visit these places and enjoy themselves when they are simply passing by the suffering of killer whales and, in fact, all sorts of marine animals. You can not underestimate what they are capable of and you need to think that if you had to live the way they have for as long as they have you would be angry too. I’m never going to change the way I feel about this and I hope none of you do either.

on the PRO SIDE. few kids who watched shamu will fall in love with animal n grow up to be a vet., biologist, scientist to help their cost for whole species. we have better understanding and appreciation for animals because of zoos and seaworld. its not like these companies beat these animals like the circus

I think it should be deemed illegal to captivate all Dolphin mammals including Orcas. Sea World should be required to rehabilitate all their Orcas to prepare them for a return to the wild. They should all go together so they can form their own Pod. We know from Keikos story that although he socialized with other orcas, he did not bond to a Pod. So they must give the Orcas a Pod by freeing them together since they already know one another. Otherwise, they may become lonely and confused and become ill from stress then
kill themselves like Keiko did beaching himself.
They MUST be released together to improve their chances of survival. Both the Orcas and the other Dolphins.

I didn’t know there are about 40 Orcas (killer whales) held in captivity.

yeah, the cherokee and tuscarora in me tells me it is wrong. i don’t spend money on animal captivity and feel hurt in my heart empathizing with them when i see this. my spirit pulls against it like the whale did, needing to follow instinct Creator put in us all. Why the wasichus have never understood that the earth is not a thing to be tortured for their appetites, i have never understood, i am just glad i was given a spirit that i answer to that makes me speak and act in behalf of the earth. I feel it is a message from Creator from our brothers the two and four legged and the finned, to make the world listen. I tell you what I beLIEve, seaworld, that your cash cow has just jumped the corral and these places will be shut down. The people will rise up and stop this obscenity against nature.
