Wow SeaWorld is one giant douche bag of a corporation.

26. On the other hand, I had always thought trainers were people with experience.

When you watch the interviews with men and women who had never been around animals... When they confess they know everything there is to know about "training" killer whales but nothing about killer whales themselves, when you see the widow of the man killed in Tenerife say that he took the job thinking he would be working on the sound systems...this is when you begin to realize what SeaWorld is..which is not something that should be seen.

When you see actual clips inside the park. Where the public is "learning" that killer whales live longer in captivity (which is a lie), you realize it is a sham.

As a child and young adult, I had always assumed that the people I was watching with these whales were marine biologists. I was wrong. I believed that 35 was the average age a killer whale lived to. Again I was wrong. The average life of a killer whale in the wild is on average with human beings.

This is why we have those willing to work with animals in the wild to learn more about them. To observe without tampering. We don't need to get "up close" or watch waving whales on a Jumbotron to be educated.

After watching this program, I will never visit the parks again. I am also grateful that my daughter didn't recently get the job she put in for at SeaWorld Orlando.
