So idiots were out protesting today at the entrance of the parking lot saying to release the Orcas. Why do people not research what they are protesting and realize releasing these creatures into the wild is a death sentence to them? People need to wise up and stop trying to destroy Seaworld.
Damn, since when was the Sentinel able to crank out these good reads. This is what an actual paper prints.

But ya got to give him credit. The dude can right a persuasive piece.You know the guy who wrote that was a whale trainer at seaworld for 10 years and still does contract work with the whales for them, right?
So.. they stop having whales and he doesnt have a business.

I get that. You've made it clear he's biased in a previous post.Which is why he was hired as a anti-Blackfish speaker for the company..

So I take it you would be against releasing the Orcas Seaworld has? You just wanted to stop them breeding? Would you be against them taking in rescue orcas?
Since releasing them pretty much means death - yes.
I don't think they should breed orcas. Substantial changes in the quality of life would be needed to justify a breeding program. Blue World was the start of that, but everything I've heard says Blue World won't be happening because they aren't going to continue the breeding program. That sucks.
And the main thing I wanted to end was the circus style shows. A large enough enclosure with natural elements (imagine looking at white tank walls all day) and plenty of stimulus would be an acceptable compromise. Doing behavioral research that has been vetted for its ethics while presenting it to an audience for education would also be acceptable.
SeaWorld always claimed the the whales were ambassadors for education and conservation... But then they're paraded around doing frivolous tricks for entertainment while nearly no educational information is presented. The idea of an animal ambassador isn't bad, but claiming somethjng is an ambassador while it behaves like a circus is not the same.
Imagine if Ringling Bros was in charge of an actual embassy. "I hear all Americans can tightrope walk!" "Don't start a war with them! They're cute when they dress up as clowns!"
It's a charade and it's gone on way too long.
They're trying to please the families that are saying "yes" or "no" to going..I think this 'announcement' is a smart move for them...us theme park nerds are already going to come for Mako, minus Epcyclopedia because he will be at The Seas at Epcot..Again, we have 30 years left with the Orcas and it wouldn't surprise me if the breeding just so happened to start up again after a bit of time..At this point, SeaWorld is in damned if they do, damned if they don't territory. So I guess they can just try to play the line to best of their ability. They're never going to please everybody.
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if the breeding didn't start again under a future park controlling owner and when they get some time distance from the Blackfish/Peta/Trainer death events. It's all been a good publicity/marketing spin thus far.They're trying to please the families that are saying "yes" or "no" to going..I think this 'announcement' is a smart move for them...us theme park nerds are already going to come for Mako, minus Epcyclopedia because he will be at The Seas at Epcot..Again, we have 30 years left with the Orcas and it wouldn't surprise me if the breeding just so happened to start up again after a bit of time..
