Did the film cause you to change your opinion of Seaworld or this industry in general?


Would you go as far as to boycott SeaWorld?

i wouldn't have gone before... The flick was pretty one-sided, not nearly as impactful as The Cove, or many others. But, the conditions these relatively social and intelligent animals live in are fucking awful... Imagine your dog, in a kennel that's just big enough to turn around in. For hours everyday. In the dark.

Saw it. Found it pretty sad, especially given how intelligent and social Killer Whales seem to be. Seems that the conditions have lead some of them to psychotic breaks.

^^^^^^
This...
Seems pretty godam obvious that certain mammals/animals just aren't fit for this type of shit...

Is it wrong... yes... how many companies out there do wrong stuff or shady stuff you know nothing about? All of them...
DISNEY and all of the theme parks... The walmarts.. All of them have a dark side....

Kindof hard to spit in the face of sea world with all of the good that they do...

I live in Orlando and work with special needs kids in a group home and whenever we ask around for discounts or freebies for local theme parks to take our kids for outings since they have basically nothing ( not naming names but I'm sure you can guess what parks Im referring to since its Orlando) we basically get told "sorry , no discounts" too bad. But Seaworld has always bent over backward at least a few times a year to give us free days or help whenever they can and go to a lot of troube to make sure we are taken care of when they have us out and we are never able to give them anything in return for that charity. I've always respected them for that. I thought the film was thought provoking and probably had a lot of tru-isms there but I also thought it was biased and did not show both sides of the story.

Seems to me that they treat those Orcas pretty well. May not be the same as the open ocean, but they get a free meal everyday and like it when they entertain the public!@

SeaWorld should be shut down and no parks on the planet should be able to keep these amazing animals in captivity. Period.

They'd much rather be out in the open and having to find their own food.

How would you like to live life in a 10x10 room?

You cant be serious. As others have said - do you want a free meal and to be in a cell all day? Get to go out once or twice a day to parade around in front of other people and be separated from your family? But hey.....that free meal!!!!

Using your gay marriage analogy as an example, animals being kept in captivity has no impact on your life so why do you even care?

For the exact same reason I am for equality.

I care about the well being of other living things outside of myself.


Bad post.

Won't ever go there before or after the movie. Humans need to stop fucking with animals.
