Orca and dolphin shows may seem magical but not without a price. These animals were built for large bodies of water because in order for them to thrive and survive the, almost every day must swim vast distances in a straight line, not endless circles. imagine needing to go somewhere and not be able to do so because you're trapped in a small area for the rest of your lives. You would become frustrated, depressed and bored. These animals don't feel any different. Wild animals don't do well in captivity. For one, there's no space for swimming or diving, two, they are fed improper diets, where they typically eat marine life like seals, walrus, sharks, etc. The only thing that they are fed here is thawed out dead fish, and are only fed if they perform the tricks correctly. Orcas are extremally intelligent and social animals with emotions similar to ours, and we should not keep them in confided areas for entertainment. It's cruel and uncalled for. We have no right robbing them of their lives. This is is to them is a death sentence and will die well before their life expectancy of 100. They usually die around the age of 20, maybe a bit more. Please do not buy a ticket, It only promotes their suffering. These animals are capable of mourning their dead and committing suicide. Two have.
