Dedicated to the memory of Dawn Brancheau . This is the previous SeaWorld Shamu show called "Believe" filmed in San Diego, California on March 3, 2009., On February 24, 2010 at SeaWorld Orlando the orca "Tilikum" drowned Dawn - an experienced female trainer as at least two dozen tourists looked on from above a whale tank and from an underwater viewing area. Following this event, trainers no longer go into the water with the orcas at SeaWorld parks shows. - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
my heart hurts for them. although they are magnificent and are absolutely beautiful to watch, everytime i think of how they spend their entire lives stuck in that tiny pool of water, training and performing so humans can earn money and derive joy from watching them, it just breaks my heart. they deserve to be free in the wild.
i agree they deserve to be free in the wild. but if they've lived longer in captivity, they can't just be released into the wild. remember what happened to Keiko the Orca.
But they look like there having fun when doing it but at the same time I am so sad on them
This is so true. When you watch the show I’m in awe of how talented these magnificent creatures of The FATHER CREATOR are, but when I think about they are trapped as an Slave without freedom to be their intended to be and live, it then becomes very sad. They should be free in the ocean!
same
I work at seaworld and they are ok
I understand that people love to see them. They are powerful, intelligent, beautiful and majestic. You immediately fall in love with them.
But you don’t see what happens
after the show…Orcas are not made for living in these small pools!! They are born for living in the biggest oceans on earth.
The polluted, dangerous ocean.
А вы не думали что им тоже это нравится. ❤Они тоже хотят познать мир людей, это нормально, они чувствуют это, вот и отвечают взаимностью😊
@@tessdurberville711they are tortured in tiny cement pools, and die much younger than in their natural habitat.
I highly recommend the book Beneath the Surface, by John Hargrove.
@@tessdurberville711humans are responsible for all their problems. The oceans are polluted from humans and then humans take them out of their homes and ship them to tanks. It doesn't really matter what you or I think. The are meant to be in the Oceans and that is where they should be. It is barbaric that humans thought this was a good idea in the first place but when money is involved that is all they see
@@user-gu3hy7it2b vous êtes complètement à côté de la plaque. Vous faites partie de ces ignorants qui ne savent pas que les orques sont des animaux très très intelligents et qu'une petite baignoire comme ça ne les suffisent pas, ils font des centaines de kilomètres par jour. ils ne tirent pas la langue, ils ne font pas coucou avec leur nageoire, dans la nature aussi il ne nage pas sur le dos... Ouvrez les yeux bon sang
Tilikum and other orcas you ll be always in my heart
Poor babies :( I can only hope one day there will be a world where humans stop exploiting animals
How about humans exploiting other humans?
Humans will never stop doing it we’re too primitive
@@medusa8617Well in the US it will end. This is the last generation of them in captivity at their 3 parks. There is no other place that holds them in captivity in the states.
get off your high horse. you're here watching the video thus supporting it. enough already.
@@sarahfoster3288 this isn't SeaWorld'S channel nor is this channel associated or have any connection to SeaWorld so No, no one here is supporting them regardless of what they say
Theses are beautiful creatures, and they are even more beautiful in there natural habitat.

I agree there a lot more free in the wild

Are you Orca?
This is so sad. Those animals belong in the ocean. Not as entertainment.
Like Keiko, the "Free Willy" orca?

@@MrJm323 they shouldn't have been taken in captivity in the first place
MrJm323
Should have never been in a tank to begin with.
@@binacake7467 They are here in Seaworld because they were kidnapped from their families in the ocean. How do you ascertain that the whales are happy?
I remember watching this as a kid in-person and thinking HOW COOL the orca show was. It was the biggest thing at SeaWorld: these ginormous beautiful creatures doing tricks. They made it seem like orcas had the intelligence/temperment of dogs. Then Blackfish came out and revealed the truth these poor slaves had to endure.
yeah, I saw this show in 2006 when I was still a little kid and it won my heart. for years, I wouldn't even refer to orcas as orcas or killer whales, they were just "shamus". I watched blackfish for the first time in my senior year of high school a few years back and it destroyed me. you start to feel guilty for even seeing them at some point, whether it was in your control or not. I spend a lot of my time now looking into more information. if anyone can stomach more hard truth, they should check out john hargrove's interviews. he was a trainer at many seaworlds and marineland for about 14 years and his insight is...harrowing.
Seriously. You worded it perfectly. They made them seem like dogs and in fact they have the human intelligence equivalent of a 15-16 year old but just don't speak English or have apposable thumbs. That and that they feel emotional hurt far more than we humans can even understand. :(
Hola buenas noches
@@hurricanelem gracias a la información
Bc a documentary is never biased. I can't take my kids to anything cool from when I was kid. Well, this show and the circus. Poor children of today.
Everyone coming here should be supporting the conservation of these amazing animals, so that we have them for all of our future generations.
animals should not be preserved, we deprive them of their freedom
@@MaWo329 Wildlife preservation is the act of keeping them alive in the wild. Wildlife conservation aims to protect plant and animal species as the human population encroaches on their resources. See here for more information: www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/wildlife-conservation/
@@vinceruffolo1887 I don't know if killer whales, penguins and even land animals are happy to live in a confined space. Ever heard of Tilly's story? even though she was not in the wild they still kept her alive, but she was not at all friendly in many situations
They're suffering.
@@MaWo329 *He
It's cringe how the music makes people think it's some sort of "special moment" but turn the music off for a second and it will help u see what's really going on.
I love
You so right its soooo sickly. And i bet the orcas hate it. What with their sensitive hearing. Must be torture listening to this crap day in day out
Kim Joonie ikr
That's why they had to stop going in the water....the whales were attacking them!!
lmao, it's pretty over-the-top
sounds more fitting for The Hobbit or something lol
I’m crying watching this video Tilikum and all are the orcas who are not alive anymore. We think of you poor babies! in the wild world they could be still alive Tilikum we remember you we think of you. We love you
Tilikum are the one who did all of the attacks wtf are wrong with yu ppl do yu remember what he did to Dawn??? He killed her and she was not the first this gose back to when he was at sea land he killed someone there omg
Dawn should’ve known her place. Poor Tilikum.
@@waynerogers8136Right!? I can't get over how people defend him. The other orcas wouldn't have done that to their trainers. They shared such trust and respect
Because he shouldn’t have been In a cage to begin with he is a wild creature you would go crazy in a two by two cage compared to your life free also! So close minded of she loved them she should fight for their freedom I don’t condone the deaths but he thought he was playing he was losing his mind many vets kept saying that
@@mollycurrie_radiancePeople defend him because he shouldn't have ever been taken from his family and the ocean in the first place. Watch Blackfish. None of these Orca's belong in tanks. They are the Apex predators of the Oceans. You can't be mad at them when humans are the reason they are there in the first place. It was not a wild orca that killed it was a sad Orca
So beautiful, so special... but so sad.
So sad ?
@@sweetswirl they are abused and denied their natural habitats these wild animals need to roam the oceans not tiny pools
@Noor Fatima Shahid
If you look you can see that some of the orcas dorsal fins are curved. Curved fins on orcas means they don’t have the right diet and could be given bad fish, it’s also from sadness (yes they can actually be sad orcas actually have emotions just like dolphins etc.) it’s also from not enough swimming space. It’s not just a cute “Aw look at his fin it’s curved!” no. It’s a bad thing. And most people already know that SeaWorld abuses their animals and other places too. Some other places might be nice to them, but none of it is healthy for the orcas at all. They need a lot more water than the small pools. They live in the ocean with much more freedom. At SeaWorld the only reasons they do these shows is for food, otherwise they might not get fed...
So sad give me a break. As long as theirs sin nothing will be perfect
Not sad
I lived in Hawaii by the ocean. I used to make bread & do dishes near to my kitchen window upstairs. This is where I got a SPECTACULAR view of the dolphins & whales playing outside in the water. They never belonged in a tiny pool of water such as this, it's a shame; & should be OUTLAWED! Just people makung money off the pain of animals for others to behold.

@@littlesister7021 noo!!
I know they don’t belong in captivity but watching this show so many years later it feels so magical, like walking into Disney world. Brought a tear to my eye. They are magnificent and I’m so glad we have this video. I now would love these orcas to live out their lives in the best way possible, wherever that may be (sea pen).
HUELES A PENE
You have these poor animals suffering and you feel Magical??
People like you that's why they suffer ...
How are you going to feel when you are in captivity 😮 because it's coming
@@jonahlogan7234 ???? Weirdo
This is almost exactly how I felt! They are truly just such magical creatures but it's the fact that they're so majestic that they should have never been put into captivity in the first place. It's just so sad that the very best they could hope for is still a pen.
this is so beautiful and so heartbreaking at the same time.
Only animal lovers can understand that because we dream of interacting with such beautiful creatures😂.... But the fact that they are captivated and starving (you can see their crazy desires to be fed) is heartbreaking....
I see no beauty in this .... if they turned the music off and no one was there you would feel differently. The power of music can make anything beautiful but it's a mask .... Orca's do not belong in tanks with humans riding them. It's actually ridiculous when you really think about it.
This was absolutely amazing to see when I was little, but now I cant watch it with enjoyment. The top apex predator that travels over 100 miles everyday in the ocean is trapped in a tiny tank being fed tiny fish.
Incredible presentation with so emotions and that dark side of captivity.
There IS no "dark side of captivity" regarding ANIMALS.
Stop anthropomorphizing animals!
Even the more intelligent mammals (like chimps, orangutans, dolphins, orcas, etc.) do not plan out and pursue careers, accumulate cultural knowledge and transmit it to future generations, carry out any long-term projects, etc.. They all lack the uniquely human characteristic of the CONCEPTUAL level of cognition (which involves a sophisticated level of mental abstraction and integration of perceptual impressions). They are not people!
...These mammals live in annual cycles of hunting and eating, migrating, mating, rinse-and-repeat, year-in and year-out.
In captivity, they are relieved of the burden of satisfying one powerful need: the pursuit of food. Their intelligence (which they'd normally use in coordinated hunting and capturing of food) is used in learning the tricks that their trainers teach them and interacting with their human handlers in other ways.
...And, why is it that you "free the orcas!" types always omit to recall that there WAS the freeing of a captive orca: the 'Free Willy' orca, Keiko? He was a big story back in the late '90s and early 2000s. Now, he is largely forgotten.
Keiko was successfully taught (by his rehabilitators) how to hunt for his food. What he wouldn't do was integrate into a pod of orcas (which would have made his survival better, since they often coordinate to hunt for their food). ...The scientists who rehabilitated Keiko KNEW that he could survive and hunt enough food, because he was of sufficient weight after his journey from Iceland (where he was freed) to Norway, where they found him hanging around the fishing village in a Norwegian fjiord. He was able to eat enough on his ocean journey. However, he was back among humans within a couple of months of being "freed". He preferred human companionship over joining any pod of wild orcas.
And, that's all that would happen if you were to free THESE orcas. (They'd just come into harbors and hang around with humans. ...They would actually be safer in those tanks in random harbors.)
@@MrJm323 Dark side of captivity, i mean that depression, anger which very intelligent mammals have .. so like orcas. So its dark side of captivity because they are more often in that wrong mind state and they can kill you easily. No word about setting them free" from my side. We should avoid to catch these mammals in terms of joy and earning money.
Ну почему же плена? Касатки умные мощнейшие создания Бога, если бы они не чувствовали доброту людей, человеку бы никогда бы не удалось приучить их. Им это тоже нравится, и они тоже хотят познать человеческий мир😊
I saw this when I was little girl always wanted to be trainer love orcas..... I do not want to be a trainer anymore n these beautiful smart animals should not anywhere but the wild
cheryl herd I mean also it would only give you work for like 20 years because these are the last planned generation of them
❤❤❤❤
Glad you understand now! ❤
70% of this planet covered with water. Imagine this wild creature which supposed to live in that 70% have to live in that tiny lil pool.
It's not even that. Because they won't explore even 99% of that water during their lifetime. The cruel part is that they mostly swim very deep in the ocean yet here they are confined to relatively shallow pools.
It is absolutely insane that they thought it was a good idea to have trainers in the water doing stunts like riding a KILLER whale lol
We loved seeing Shamu at the Believe show years back. We all loved it!
Shamu didn't
It was magnificent, wasn't it? ❤❤
don't think that the orca are doing this for any other reason than food
icecool1616 😂
If your stuck in a small pool and the only way to get food is to do tricks for the trainers, they r going to do tricks. They r doing it just for the food they have no other option.
Yes and no ... It is also treats. Indicating that they did well or correctly. Same as how we give treats to dogs
Of course thats that OR NOTHING

God they’re so beautiful. I’m so upset that they’re treated so badly. Would love to see one out in the wild, but there’s not a big chance of that happening. I want a place where all the conditions are good and it’s actually healthy for them...
Theres been talks of securing 200 acres of ocean around a small island for whales in captivity. But that will be very expensive and has other ethical concerns.
The Japanese give as much love and concern for health as good food! Many medical tests! There everyone is relatively happy
How are they treated badly?
@@creativevisiongaming omg...

its not "normal" for their dorsal fin to be like that, search it up.
I know it means there depressed 😔
ooga booga I- no. it means there sick because they starve them.
The broken dorsal fin breaks by heart!
It is normal because a males dorsal's fin grows up to 6feet and it keeps growing and the fine has no bone so it flips over but I do not agree with captivity but I'm saying is that either way they're fins are going to flop over because they hav no bone and it can be caused by depression and pressure and maybe anxiety or PTSD but I do feel bad for the whales
So true 😖
They have not changed this show in 10 years.....remember seeing all this in 2009....the exact video,same tricks.....feel bad for the whales though
sherin samuel this was filmed in 2009. But as far as I know, they no longer make the Killer Whales do these shows nor breed them.
Orcas are not whales they are dolphins
They have, people are no longer allowed in the water with the whales. (Doesnt make it any less barbaric)
awwww
The only shows Seaworld is doing with their orcas now is Orca Encounter, which is just as horrible. But the whales kind of need the exercise
People can say so many things but this is in every way wrong They are so Smart animals they know more then we human I get tears in my eyes to see this
I have save money to see this beautifull creatures In there own Habibtat When i see them under my Kayak I just cry from happines how amazing that was and then we see this Its really sad its breaks my heart Hope on one day all the tanks are empty
YES me too!
They do not know more "then we human".
The way they are so organized, smart and on point.. i am teary eyed watching this.. holy
your teary eyes shud come from how they r not living in freedom, not from the torture show. holy
This breaks my heart
😢
para sa pagkain no choice ang orca kundi sumunod 😣
If Tilikum was still with his family, Dawn would still be with hers.
Well said.
Galadrhiell Pagsuyuin yup😣 Tilikum was and still is (even tho he isn’t alive anymore) my favorite orca!
Yea he was a true killer whale
I could never sit there and watch. I'm crying like a baby watching on my screen. My heart is broken for them.
I really love this one ❤
10:04 the lyrics: "Every creature, dancing the oceans.." Irony, anyone?
Raph Ael very ironic
And yes that's the act of innocence of nature that we pay to watch and feed our satisfaction and entertainment all together where we really suppose to keep them safe and stop polluting their home in anyway possible
Orcas are beautiful and amazing animals.
Vdd
Yes that belong in the in the sea not in a park for people's enjoyment
Yes let me finish your sentence ...... that belong in their natural environment, the oceans.
This was the best part of my trip to sea world in tomlin middle school and with my family. I lived in plant city florida. And i likely was at this very show
One fateful day Tilikum did the show HIS way.
The fact that I won't able to see these beautiful creatures because I am against these shows breaks my heart...
Support a conservation eco tour and see them in the wild
@@erinjean2695 - yeah I find it so much cooler to spot one in the wild.
though apparently sometimes some tours are highly distruptive to certain marine animals. so we need to watch out for that too.
Ive seen them on a boat trip in norway.Its possible
I really enjoyed watching the show thank you for sharing ..
SeaWorld old Shamu show look amazing PLACE and beautiful show
Thanks for great sharing
This breaks my heart. This isn't entertainment. This is exploitation and complete disregard and lack of respect for these Orcas. I have seen Orcas in the wild and they are beautiful and amazing which makes shows like this even more cringeworthy. Wish they would permanently shut down places like this.
i dont see the whale complaining lol but in all seriousness its like having a dog dude if u treat it right they cool with u and as u can see and as far as i can see they cool with it lol
Idk much about this show, but most of the shows fund many scientific research that’s essential for the conservation of these animals.... and some animals are rescued animals or not ready for their natural habitat due to various reasons, these shows are essential to keep these organizations running.....
Nothing like having a dog, watch blackfish the documentary
Nah im good
@@Pasinduhs There are better ways to fund research.
I love these magnificent creatures of the sea 🐬
theyre so much happier in the sea though, its so sad how theyre trapped in captivity for most their lifes if not all :(
@@ashdenn06, I couldn't have agreed with you any more. Honestly.
Seriously, just think about it for a minute and realize how harsh that is. It's not like you're keeping a hyperactive dog indoors. It's an animal that lives in the vastness of the ocean and moves around in a way that humans can't imagine, and an aquarium of that size is the human equivalent of being locked in a one-square-foot cell for the rest of your life.
At least 170 orcas have died in captivity, not including 30 miscarried or still-born calves. SeaWorld holds 19 orcas in its three parks in the United States. At least forty-three orcas have died at SeaWorld.
😡!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And how many die daily in the wild?
Now they have 18 and when the 18 are gone there will be no more capitive Orcas in the United States!
it's sad that we make these powerful animals perform for us
Why we humans are so greedy? Why we can’t let other species live in their own way? No other species come to force us to entertain them. Can’t we make money without spoiling other’s life? Please let them live where they should belong. Why Hollywood makes movies about FREEDOM using captivity? These countries are belong to first world and 100% literacy. Once human freedom was under control and now animals are the targets...i was watching these videos and really feeling sad for these poor species...God please save them.
keep supporting Hollywood
op mo
this breaks my heart💔
For what 🙄
Geez blackfish dummies
I don’t see why
War erst Vorort, da ist Freude und zugleich Leid!
Die Trainer gehen nicht mehr ins Wasser...
Schon zuviel passiert!
Ich habe nur die Hoffnung, dass die Menschen sensibilisiert werden solch wunderbare Geschöpfe zu schützen!!
I remember as a kid going to SeaWorld Orlando & wanting to work with the animals. I'm a photographer at SeaWorld's Discovery Cove resort now & I get to be in the water with our dolphins almost every day. 1 step closer to achieving my goal (wildlife rescue).
Federal law states that any animal born in captivity must remain in human care. Wild animals that are rescued must be quarantined during their rehab. After rehab they must be evaluated by NOAA upon release.
I wonder if I've ever seen you. I remember one lady who I've seen each time I've been who takes photos and is so lovely I've never forgotten her

omg this was emotional to watch ❤️ rest in peace sweet babies
I remember seeing this show.
I can truly say I have never had a desire to see this sort of show. Even as a child we never would go to attractions like this. Flash forward a few decades and my husband and I had an opportunity to take a boat ride down to San Juan island off the coast of Vancouver. There we got to witness the real life of ocras in the wild. Everyone needs to see this and they would stop giving these parks their money.
Not everyone is as RICH as you and your husband.
LOWER middle class people (and middle class people with young children in tow) will want to go to these marine parks, zoos, and circuses to see the exotic animals which the smug rich go on safaris and boat excursions to see. They have a limited amount of time and money and this is where they can go. (...And, they will see far more of the orcas than you will, out at sea, anyway. They have viewing windows into the tanks when they go below.)
@@MrJm323 you can still see them on TV if you are curious.
@@MrJm323 Ridiculous. I don’t have money to take my kids on a expensive boat trip to watch orcas but taking them to SeaWorld would never cross my mind. This is not the way to teach children about animal conservation. This only teaches them that magnificent and highly intelligent creatures like orcas can be treated merely as pets to entertain people. Children should respect wildlife and the only way to teach them the values of conservation is by doing it in the respectful way. It’s stupid to think everyone “deserves” to see orcas so Seaworld should keep torturing them cause I don’t have the money to see them in the wild?!? Ridiculous. Take your kids to the forest and watch the wild birds, snorkel with them next time when at the beach to sea the beautiful underwater world, show them David’s Attenborough movies. This has more value than a visit to Seaworld and allows children to learn and experience wild animals and beauty of nature. Tickets to Seaworld are extremely expensive by the way. For the same price, when at the seaside, you can go for a short boat trip to watch animals like dolphins in their natural environment.
@@MartikaScotland shut up,poor people need the parks,if you don't want it keep quiet
@@MrJm323i’m middle class and you’ll never ever catch me or my family at one of these shows. Even if i never get the chance to see them in person, i’m completely fine with that because i rather not see them instead of supporting an organization that abuses and starves animals for profit and entertainment. you’re sick

The Shamu show hasn’t been the same since they don’t let people ride on Shamu anymore.
There's a good reason why they don't go in the waters
Beautiful videos
I'm honestly baffled trainers were allowed to swim in the tanks with the Whales in the first place, it's a huge recipe for disaster and really scary
I remember these shows :,(
David López aw. I miss them too. Bring them back.
After watching documentary blackfish, I was crying all night long, didn’t sleep well, because I still think of them
So sad they have no clue that there's a huge sea out there that they could swim in and investigate
Soooo sad
Seaworld swears that kids are born destined to be orca trainers that clip with that kid in the beginning is so extra 🤣🤣
I swearrr
I remember when I was in kindergarten, my parents took me and my brother to Orlando for summer vacation. the day we went to seaworld, it was sickenly hot. at the time I couldn't pronounce shamu so I ended up saying shampoo. I remember how special I felt when I was picked by one of the trainers to stand on that blue platform on the stage with them and meet the orcas. my little mind was too pure and young to understand what was really happening. I was lucky. I got to meet a handsome large male whose name I can't remember. I so simply called him shamu. I can still remember how his shiny black and white head felt when I related my hand on it. it felt wet and cool in the cruel heat. when I put my hand on his head, I felt safe and at home. when I had arrived at the show with my family, I had looked through the glass walls of the case and cried out in fear when I saw the huge orcas in the deep tank. I was so small at the time, just learning to swim, and the thought of the deep tank with huge creatures lurking within frightened me. but after I met shamu, I was no longer afraid. when I left the stage, my dad scooped me up, for he had stood nearby, waiting for me. I was so happy. my dad bought me a shamu plushiest and a shamu Lego set before we went to our hotel room. those were such happy moments. I am 13 now, and I am wiser. what were once happy memories of Orlando are now tinted with the harsh reality that my joy in that moment was only helping shame's misery. I sometimes dream of being in the seaworld tank,swimming with tilikum and dawn brancheau, one hand holding onto tilikum dorsal fin, the other holding dawn's hand. I always look at dawn and see a smile on her face. and when I look away from her face, I am no longer in seaworld, yet I am still holding onto dawn and her beloved tilikum. and then I realize that we are in the ocean.surrounded by every orca from seaworld. suddenly I let go and begin crying. dawn hugs me and she starts to tell me something, that's when I always wake up. its my favorite dream
Ahsoka Tano When I was like 4 I went to sea world, I loved it sooooo much and even wanted to work there! But now I am older I understand what's happening and the cruel reality about how these animals are treated.
LUCKY i wasnt old enough to even go to seaworld
All these lies you're telling 😂 smh
Nice story
My man just wrote a little book
Stolen from their families separated from their mothers, leaving in the small pool for the small account of fish is that all they deserve? Poor babies because they could be still alive in the wild world, but they are not rest in peace, beautiful souls.
Thanks 👍
The show is spectacular and what these orcas (the largest dolphins I just learned and not actually whale's) and trainers can do is phenomenal. But just because something can be done doesn't mean it should be done. It's actually heartbreaking to see these magnificent, superior beings doing these tricks and stunts for a meager handful of dead fish. They have no choice but to be there, but they deserve to be free and in their natural habitat, as do all wild animals. The psychological damage caused by captivity is unethical and unacceptable.
I don't see any psychological damage done to these whales. Have you seen any behind the scenes footage, ever? They're completely fine, unlike many other orcas at aquariums that couldn't care less about them. Also, they don't do tricks for fish. They will get fed regardless of their perfomance. Also, considering what happened to the last captive orca that was released... it's a very, VERY bad idea to release them. Sorry, I don't want to see them dead or actually stressed out
@メKawaiiYanderleeメ yes I saw footage on Inside the Tanks, Voiceless and Blackfish about the suffering. It stands to reason that they wouldn't be happy. They are confined to a space equivalent to a drop in the ocean, the place they should be. They are not with their pods, who, ordinarily, they would spend their entire lives with. They are highly social and intelligent and have their own cultures and languages. They are apex predators. Doing tricks for dead food day after day, year after year, being separated from their young, being placed in unnatural 'pods' etc would be depressing. And they don't get fed when they perform 'badly' or incorrectly. The day DB died Tilikum had incorrectly swum twice around the tank instead of once and food was withheld. I did see what happened with Keiko, but what is very, VERY BAD is capturing them in the first place for people's entertainment or financial gain etc

Unfortunately it does not interest any of these webmasters what matters to them is a few thousand dollars more in their pocket
There are no beings superior to humans but God alone...but I do BELIEVE what SeaWorld has done and is doing is very unethical and should be shut down completely
You can't blame the workers at SeaWorld. It was just a job for them. Blame the people who captured them.
And those who pay to watch these amazing creatures in captivity
But they contribute by working there! How naive do you have to be to think THIS is better than the wild? So they are all brainwashed by SeaWorld into thinking they’re helping these whales?! Gimme a break. Disgusting and anyone who goes there, works there, owns it, etc. is contributing to this nonsense. They aren’t here for our entertainment.
@@sugaredviolets2085 trainers are also their caregivers. Do you honestly believe that if trainers just got up and left one day, Sea Worl would release the Orcas into the wild? No. They will find new trainers. These Orcas have spent the majority of their lives in captivity now, it would be very risky to release them. The least they could do is stop all breeding programs and gradually close all Orcas shows. But on the other hand, that would make them too expensive to keep and properly cared for. Where money and business are present it is always ugly.
The only one captured in seaworld san diego was corky but that was back in the 90s
I feel like crying watching this because in 2010 their show was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen in my life. These memories of their people to orca interactions will stay with me forver. A little girl enchanted and amazed by these beauties and the connections they share with their trainers ❤
Incredible
It breaks my heart 😥
I agree that these orcas should be in the wild, but regardless, it's amazing how SeaWorld's trainers are able to make such a show out of these beautiful creatures!
But what a price...
At a deniable price, the death of innocent creatures.
Just the 'show's music' itself is inhumane. I'm so glad my parents never took me to see this!
Sea world isn’t good- but the trainers ARENT abusive. They love the animals with all they got. And if the orcas don’t do these shows they simply don’t get enough exercise in their small tanks
Have to agree with you there. The trainers try everything they can to keep the orca's healthy and they take care of them with everything they've got. It's Seaworld who's got control of these animals and they aren't treating them right. The trainer's aren't the problem.
Also, people don't even realise that a lot of the behaviours they do in the show are things they do in nature as well. The number of people who have extremely strong opinions on orca captivity while not knowing much about them at all is ridiculous.
Collapsed dorsal fins means that the orca is extremely stressed.
hong honk and unhealthy
no you believe a lie there is no bone in teh fin
@@badmingtonsunset1386 haha big dumb
BadmingtonSunset no. Your wrong do you know anything about these orcas in captivity??
Lmao y’all, the collapse dorsal fin means nothing, it doesn’t affect the whales health or mental health, y’all calling sunset dumb when you guys really are
Mir blutet mein Herz,wenn ich solch Königstiere in so kleinen Basins seh... Nach Kaiko sollte man eigentlich gelernt haben,dass sie ins offene Meer gehören und nicht unter Stress und Druck in solche Shows...😭😭😭😭
Richtig. Nie welche in einem Aquarium gesehen aber dafür im Meer in Norwegen und war sogar mit ihnen im Wasser. Da gehören sie hin. :)
Subhannallah, very beautiful. May Allah help them to live their live to the fullest ❤
they born to be in the open ocean not in a cage
Horses too but yet here we humans are at the horse races gambling to see which horse runs the fastest after being whipped
Could you imagine the emontions the trainer feels?...I guess its the mother in me,,,We raise Train, and guide or little ones they grow we catch feelings and they are in the big bad world we live in..Life is amazing..Be blessed
This is the most sad thing they need to be in the ocean not in a little pool for like 50 years
Yes 😢😢😖😭😭.
50 years?! They'll be lucky. Ask anyone at SeaWorld how long a whale lives in captivity and they'll openly tell you that it is LONGER than they live in the Wild due to the healthcare they receive etc. The reality is that they are lucky to make it to 40 in captivity, anything from 80-100 in the Wild.
This is sad. Orcas are not meant to be in these tanks.
The movie BLACK FISH was one of the best eye openers.
Wonderful show of sea creatures.❤❤❤very entertaining show..
The shows are SOOOOO much different now . I was able to see it like this and just went last week. Beautiful animals but honestly after watching the documentary it’s not my fav place to go anymore just makes me sad
Djk34💘💝😘🥰 are you single how old you are
Then why go *last week* !
If you‘ve seen the documentary, WHY in the world go there ever again????
@Rubi Sanchez !!! You state that you have watched the video, and then state that you went there last week !!! You need to go and tell your mother that you have been using her computer, you are obviously a small child, or a complete idiot !!
@@loveisalongdog I have kids duh they have no idea
I'm sad watching this video. Orcas should be in the wild living their lives.
I'm like amaya and ulises jump together
Yes. But in the ocean they would have a lot of percentage that they could die at least they take care of them
@@kyatd.s.3503 They don’t take care of them, and also, Orcas are apex predators meaning they literally have no threats besides humans. They have a MUCH higher chance of dying in captivity, and they have much shorter lives. Orcas have a similar life span to humans, but in captivity, they live about TEN YEARS. TEN.
@@kyatd.s.3503 dude stfu and stop spreading bullshit, if you knew anything orcas are apex predators
@@young23D dude this orca is in this zoo for years, they don't know how to survive wild ocean,and orca is living with packs, this orca's doest know how to socialize with other orca in the wild
Amazing
glad you posted this. for those sick few remaining if there are any that just NEED to see an orca in captivity, just watch this instead of trying to go somewhere, pay tickets, etc.
Does anyone know the orcas names that participated in the show? I saw Ulises during the Shamu splash segment 😊 & corky came out at the very end for the fast swim with the man surfing 🏄♂️ on her.
I pretty sure Makani is the tiny one considering the age of this video and knowing amaya would've been 6 now and makani is 10 now so in this he'd be about a year if not almost. Keet was also present i recognized his fluke
@@kiaramangos3354keet is easy to recognize now his flukes are completely curled and his dorsal fin is curved on his back. Sometimes him and Ike are hard to recognize when there together from far away until I see Keets flukes than I can tell them apart. I just left sea world orlando today I met miss Katina 😊
I haven't cried so hard in my life than I have seeing them being held against their will just to profit their pockets,This breaks my heart so bad for these whales.STOP AND LET THEM GO THIS IS CRUEL
If you release those Orcas into the wild, many of whom have been in captivity since birth, would have no earthly idea what to do in the wild, how to hunt, etc. Furthermore, the males suffer from collapsed dorsal fins and are integral to a Orca's survival in the wild. They would be as useful as your dog in the wild. What a shame though
YEs indeed. These magnificent animals deserve to live where they belong, not for human entertainment. They live lives of depression anxiety and suffering in captivity. Watch the movie BLACKFISH
@@vtjake3761 Agreed, the theory would be a sea pen where they at least have some more room, but honestly, they are too intelligent to not get mental stimulation like from the shows. Its a shame that generations of orcas will never get to live the way they are supposed to because of people :(
What about pets? Is it not cruel to have pets? What about that chicken dinner you had last night, how you think k that got on your plate? What about the innocent insects you have killed throughout your life, do they not matter?
@@05DonnieBoh my God I found a vegan Karen! Woooww! The difference is that chickens are food, and it isn't live a life in misery as the orcas (who are way smarter than chickens) are. These orcas are pretty much slaves. And you are complaining about dogs and cats, who are DOMESTICATED unlike orcas who are wild animals.
Very nice video! We love SeaWorld! Just visited SeaWorld, Orlando, Florida and watched Killer whales, sea lions and dolphin shows! Thank you for you video!
Dawn was the absolute BEST! She had grace and perfect timing. She was flawless in her dance with these magnificent creatures. It's unfortunate what happened to her but she left this earth doing what she loved and with so much passion. It was literally palpable! Rest In Peace Beautiful Lady!
Would be so much better if she has never done this thing in the first place and just lived. She would find a different passion to fill her life. These parks should never exist in the first place. No animals would suffer, no people would end up injured or dead. They have been created for one reason only: out of greed, to make money on imprisoned and tortured animals. People working there often were lied to, their lives has been in danger for the sake of making profits. There is no difference between this or animal circuses that long have been banned in civilised world.
You do know this is seaworld san diego right? She trained in orlando and died there. Tilikum wasnt at seaworld san diego for long either when they did have him.
@@kiaramangos3354 What does that matter? I don't understand your comment! I wasn't stating anything about location. I was talking about Dawn specifically and how much passion she exuded in her work with these whales.
@@LearnGrowThrive1
She reaped what she sowed.
I was here and it was really hard for me to watch these animals. I think they should be in the ocean.
Exactly a decade ago, I thought it was cute (I'm an animal lover and the fact of seing whales so close is amazing). But now, I felt my heart breaking while watching this 😭 We hate the obligation of being in quarantine but we do it for our good. However, these beautiful creatures are captivated, not being able to swim with freedom... all because of a show...
Also, I was a kid by that time and didn't know nor noticed they starve them 💔
Hillary C. I was also a kid so I didn't know what they were doing to them.🥺
I was lucky enough go to this exact show as a kid with my parents. I didn't know how cruel it was back then, but the memory of seeing an orca live doing tricks is great.
Daran ist nichts toll, diese Tiere gehören in Freiheit und nicht mit fremden ihrer Artgenossen eingesperrt. Sie können teils nicht untereinander kommunizieren aufgrund der Dialekte und Sprachen.
Absolutely. The only Orca shows that should exist are in whale watching tours. What's hilarious is that many of these whale watching tours will have orcas who will volunteer to be part "the show". They stay in the area where the boats come and will do funny stuff like leaping out of the water, and splashing the boats with their tails. They do it for fun and most importantly BY CHOICE.
Son preciosos Dios lad bendiga ❤mi slma alaba al Srñor por esas criaturas.Es lindo para mi las amo.Tambien felucidades a esa personad que con dedicacoon paciencia y amor las enseñaron.Saludos dese Mexico❤
Excellent ❤
The saddest thing is that people who literally buy tickets to watch this show think this gigantic creature is treated nicely and humanely. And parents bring children and thought it’s actually very educational. That is really shameful.
Um, it’s actually quite shameful of you to think that. Don’t have stereotypes of all the sanctuaries just because one place may treat them badly. Many places treat them really well, so I’m just saying; have an open mind :)
It might be true that those animals can be treated well and got fed in other Sea World or ocean park. The thing is cetaceans are supposed to live in the ocean freely. Locking them up in a park and train them to perform for people so that the ocean park can make a profit out of it. You call it this is being open-minded? Speechless…
@@nicolelee7947 you know, some of them were born in captivity, and can’t survive in the wild. I get what you’re saying, and I totally agree, just wanted to provide a different perspective 🙂
@@colbstar7389 I think we both are animal lovers so we can have the discussion here. I hope in reality, you are right and I am wrong. So the cetaceans are not suffering and more and more people are aware of importance of protecting this intelligent creature. :)
@@nicolelee7947 I am an animal lover indeed lol. Thank you for being so kind and not like everybody else on UA-cam 🙄😅
It’s not @InformationalVideos fault the animals are not in their natural habitat don’t let your anger out on them
UA-cam recommended me after 10 years 🤣
E lindo o espetáculo que eles proporciona encantado vida marítima com suas belezas
As a Puget Sound resident, it is heartbreaking that this still goes on.
The whales are well cared for there. I think it’s great.
The whales have a WAY better life then a wrongful convicted prisoner in a 5 x 5 cell 23 hrs a day. Wouldn't you say?
@@peanutbutterandjellyy I'd agree if that were true, but it's most certainly not. Seaworld in controversial for their care of the orcas
@@brittanybradford9239horrible comparison. Orcas are 30 feet long and swim hundreds of miles every day. Humans are on average 5-6 feet tall and are fine with not moving around much
@@peanutbutterandjellyythen why do they die so early, why do their calves get taken from them, why do they attack and kill their trainers? They don't do that in the wild. They are treated horribly
did anyone else get emotional?
andy tambling how?
Yeah :( they’re innocent animals but so smart too
Yeah emotial about the poor animals who are abused for stupid shows
Me
Yeah I felt the emotion anger. Whales don't belong in captivity and seaworld is known to hunt and kidnap young whales. How are your emotions now?
I started balling my eyes out when i saw that little boy!😭
Right!? ❤❤
Very amazing
