Orcas are of the most highly social and intelligent creatures on the earth. In the wild they live w/their families and will have a special dialect between different families (pods). Captive orcas can become highly aggresive. The only 4 human "kills" by orcas have happened in captivity and one specific orca "Tilikum"; killed 3 out of the four. Yet, SeaWorld, knowing this orca had killed twice before, but SeaWorld still put him in the show and what is equivalent to that of a backyard pool. Tilikum now lives in a bathtub and SeaWorld is disobeying court order to no longer keep the handlers out of the water.
We cannot simply return orcas to the wild the other families will usually kill it or it does not have the social skills needed to survive in the water. Killer Whale sanctuaries are available. Orcas are at the top in the ocean just as we are on land; how is socially responsable to keep them in pools for human entertainment? It is not. WE NEED to Boycott SeaWorld and let them go back to being the wonderful park it was.
