Orcas · 1:27am Sep 8th, 2020
I recently watched a documentary called Blackfish and saw how Seaworld basiclly captured orca calves from their mothers and raised them to do stupid tricks. And how these orcas were treated little more then property and how this mistreatment caused many of the orcas to start becoming aggressive and caused people to be injuried or killed. Its insane that years ago I thought that Seaworld was a place I always wanted to visit but never gotten the chance too. But now Im glad Ive never gone I can't believe the horrible things we did to those orcas and how Seaworld tried to blame the deaths of the trainers on them and not provide the trainers with the full history of the orcas they worked with. Anyways just really hit me hard seeing that orca mom crying out for her baby when the seperated them. That was heartbreaking.
I'm sorry.
I know the documentary.
This was before the EPA laws that many countries have today.
Humans swarmed their boats and made artificial lagoons. You know, like the scene in Free Willy where the "bad guys" pulled dropnets.
They had interviews with both local residents who were witnesses and workers who performed the deeds - they all had nightmares of crying orcas.
