John, you are a superstar. Thanks for writing an incredible book, which I have read 4 times. What an exciting past you have had, but thanks for making the decision to help these beautiful ocean animals get back to where they belong, in their own environment.
Here are some good nonfiction books about orcas : Death at Seaworld: Shamu and the Dark Side of Killer Whales in Captivity by David Kirby, Into Great Silence: A Memoir of Discovery and Loss among Vanishing Orcas by Eva Saulitis, Beneath the Surface: Killer Whales, SeaWorld, and the Truth Beyond Blackfish by John Hargrove, Killer in the Pool by Tim Zimmermann, Swimming with Orca: My Life with New Zealand's Killer Whales by Ingrid Visser, Listening to Whales: What the Orcas Have Taught Us by Alexandra Morton.

I cant believe SeaWorld is still functioning.
I can’t believe people took Blackfish seriously.
People, please read his book "Beyond the surface" - it is amazing and it tells so much more than blackfish. Don't get me wrong, blackfish was very, very good, but in the book you get so much information about the orca's, their characters and how they love in their natural habit. It is available in aidiobook form, too. Just go to Amazon or use audioable. And to get this straight : I don't know John, I am from Europe and I finished the book 2 days ago. I am writing this because I want to and I really hope he will write more of them. My respect for this man is very, very high. He fought pain medication with opioids and I know that fight. I saw these big macho men crying like babies when they didn't have their medication and John got it. He has so many injuries, I wonder how he can live with them without that pills. 2) to leave the whales he loved to much and spoke out shows a strong character. I hope we will hear more from him. Best wishes from Austria 😀👍👍🇦🇹
Well done, John! Though I already read the part in your book, you had me in tears speaking about apologizing to Takara while she was being inseminated by the vet. Having those close, almost spiritual connections with killer whales is so very special & I'm grateful that Takara had you.

@@AnaHallie Thanks! I've read most of those & will check out the rest.
I have a great deal of respect for John Hargrove. He is doing a lot of publicity to get conditions changed for the benefit of the Orca in captivity.
GREAT interview & BLACKFISH is an amazing documentary. And BENEATH THE SURFACE is a must get, must read book ..... thanks for the truths that so need to be continuously heard.
Will have to watch Blackfish. Although they are not black fish.
They are Orca killer whales.
Sue Williams blackfish is. Reference to the ancient Native American name for the highly regarded orca or (blackfish)

thank you for speaking up
What great man gave up his dream job he worked his whole life for because he loved them that much amen to that
Just found this in 2019...why did ya end talking about this? Why is sea world still existing? Pls do not stop talking about this! Bring this subject back to life...since it is still going on just now! Pls go on telling people...don t let this lose it s voice....the whales are still suffering....
I agree. A trainer leaked a photo 2 years ago of a whales fin cut in half and infected. Gate fell on the whale. But SeaWorld said no big deal he is OK. Lolita over 50 years old in a round backyard swimming pool that is so small. SeaWorld has been fined for it. And she is alone. They left her in the pool during the last big hurricane. They promised to make her pool bigger but instead bought roller-coasters. Google her pool. Celebrities are speaking out against SeaWorld and want to donate money for sea pens where they can retire in the ocean with the trainers taking care of them. Baltimore Aquarium sent their dolphins to a sea sanctuary. About time and a few other aquariums have to. Trip Advisor dropped SeaWorld from their package deals and celebrities refuse to play there. They tell the fans at concerts stay away from SeaWorld. Watch the captain tell his story on catching the babies whales for SeaWorld on UA-cam . It's graphic. It's his biggest regret. Hearing the mom's crying for their babies and vice versa had me sobbing. He said they shot the mother"s and put rocks in them to sink them. That's SeaWorld. Yeah they help animals but they also keep ones that are supposed to be released. Sorry this is long but it's still going on with Lolita over 50 years old in a small pool. I can't even imagine her life. So wrong.
@Sarah Arshad VIII-C-A YES I was..
@Sarah Arshad VIII-C-A I know it's 💔. I do care. SeaWorld blocked me on Instagram. Lol. I pointed out how small the pools are. Especially Lolita. Nice to see you care as well. And, celebrities speaking out against SeaWorld. And Trip Advisors won't sell tickets anymore either.
@Sarah Arshad VIII-C-A China are horrible to the animals. Dog meat farms. Unbelievable what they eat and do to animals. Luckily Dog meat festival where they cook dogs alive are being saved every year. Celebrities go there and offer lots of money and buy the dogs and brought back thousands of dogs to adopt. They steal people's pets to cook them. It's so horrible to see. They laugh to. China is not a good place obviously.

Thank you unconditionally!
I only just watched Blackfish recently. It's so important to keep spreading the message that whales do not belong in captivity.
@Sarah Arshad VIII-C-Aagree 100%!!
Finally getting around to reading the book right now. It isn't a writing masterpiece, but oh my goodness, the stories this amazing man has to tell! I was hooked by the third sentence. The book is vulnerable and really dives into the delusions we have about the natural world and wildlife around us and our fascination and desire to control those aspects. It's a great read so far, can't put it down.
also I genuinely did not intentionally use so many nautical puns
I read his book. Very good and telling.
I ordered it. Can't wait to read it.
@@valmacclinchy It is a sad read at times but definitely wakes you up to how horrible their life is. Watch Blackfish to.
@Sarah Arshad VIII-C-A I watched that and read the trainers book. Nothing is right about a whale in captivity in a backyard pool. Nothing!
@Sarah Arshad VIII-C-A Yes. If you can watch the Captain on here tell his story of taking the baby Orcas for SeaWorld from the mom's. The mom's followed the boats as the babies cried. Then they shot the mom's and stuffed rocks in to them to sink them. I was crying. Captain said it's his biggest regret. How a person can do that I will never understand. You will like the book. Eye opening 💯. Both trainers books are good. Have a great day.
Need to fix the sound next time. The audience was way too loud and John's voice was way too quiet.
I, too, miss flights a lot! Funny... ☺️💖✈️
"Nineteen calves taken from their mother's"...amongst many other atrocities like food deprivation, small containment "cells", ect...and SeaWorld is still in business. Let that soak in 💔
great man
He's hot
What made me start realy crying is fact that kasaka was left by her one who she love she must of ben so sade and abandoned when he left these anmals are just to smart its sade
Я люблю тебя, Джон..
Thank you for the education. Repect
❤😂спасиба вам за прекрасные кадры
Being “hot” is in the mind of the beholder...😎
He’s single
He looks so much younger than his age! Wow! So hot too!
He's a RASICT piece of garbage! There's a video SeaWorld put out of him making RASICT comments about people of color!
@Sarah Arshad VIII-C-A doesn't matter. I drunk mind is an honor mind! He's trash! As far as I'm concerned. SeaWorld is better without him
He was fired from SeaWorld idoit. Loo. Do your homework. Now all of a sudden after he fired he wants to play whistle blower. Lol!! Sounds like a bitter pig that lost his job. He's garbage. End of discussion
@@antoniogarrett4888 Why was he promoted to senior one then? You're a hypocrite
@@antoniogarrett4888you work for seaworld?? Why the anger towards him?
I'm not defending seaworld or anything that John alledges happened but has no one asked the question that if seaworld is so bad why did he return after quitting the first time?
Jordan maybe you should read his book and you would know the answer to that question
The simple answer is brainwashing. Do a little research or read his book and he explains it very well. He really makes u understand how it can happen.
the real answer is hargrove is a megalomaniac. He has to be the star. He has claimed he was the star of Shamu Stadium. He would only do the movie if he was given a star credit. Do you think it was a coincident that he decided to leave SeaWorld the second time just before the movie came out. In this interview alone he states that he can not believe that he had to compete with other people in his career at SeaWorld. Do you think he doesn't like being in these interviews and traveling on someone else's dime?
And why are all the other former trainers doing all this for attention to???
He really loved his whale. His book was very good.
Corky was not in that movie.
He never said Corky was in Blackfish. It was Tilikum.. Corky was the orca used for the movie "Orca"
I sea word started a realease sea peen they could make money chaging money to watch whales in rehibilitation
this sucked! I wish you would have given him more time!
Yuk, animal torturer. I don't care if he's reformed. He advocated animal cruelty
I don’t buy his good intentions at all. he’s a disgruntled ex employee and wants to make money. I’m sure some things he says are true but I just don’t buy into him at all.and is he gay or straight
