CNN will air Blackfish tomorrow (3/19/2016) at 10pm ET. Blackfish is also on Netflix.

Dr. Ingrid Visser (a marine biologist known for studying killer whales) & John Hargrove (former SeaWorld trainer) got kicked out of SeaWorld. It's too bad because SeaWorld could learn a lot by talking to an actual killer whale researcher who studies them in the wild. The footage Dr. Visser got...

California bans captive breeding of SeaWorld killer whales. :loveyou: "The last-minute amendment would ban breeding of captive orcas, including through artificial insemination, at the California park but not at SeaWorld facilities in other states. It also prohibits the sale, trade or...

It appears SeaWorld will be involved with two orcas stolen from the sea in Russia. The tragic life of Tilikum is being repeated all over again. The translation from Russian to English is a little rough but here goes: "According to Yulia Frolova, orcas have already started learning the tricks...

Hmm, I wonder where the wild orcas and belugas captured off the east coast of Russia will end up. SeaWorld is taking their brand of abuse to Pan-Asia, India, and Russia. :tears: "Turning to our international efforts, we continue to make significant progress in our plans to expand our theme...

The new addition is only 1.5 acres. My yard is a little bigger than that and I can't imagine spending the rest of my life in my own yard with concrete walls around me. It sickens me to think SeaWorld will use this additional space for more breeding. I hope AB-2140 passes and shuts down the...

Confessions of a killer whale (Tilikum's) trainer: "If I loved and appreciated these magnificent animals so much; why would I lie, especially to myself? Why? The answer is quite simple; once I was honest with myself. Ego and selfishness [got in the way]. How many in the world can say...

I will never understand why some feel this is entertainment. Tilikum still in a pathetic state, June 26, 2014: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=eso2118M8vA

Spread the word, not just about SeaWorld but any business that displays cetaceans. I just learned the Mirage in Las Vegas has dolphins. See video below. If I go back to Las Vegas I definitely won't stay there. Profit is the bottom line driving this abuse. When paying customers go elsewhere...

"Former orca trainer and “Blackfish” contributor John Hargrove has signed a book deal with Macmillan Publishing. Entitled "Beneath the Surface,” the memoir will chronicle his 14 years at SeaWorld as an orca trainer and sets out to tell the stories of the...

Blackfish will air again tonight on CNN at 9PM EST. It's also available on Netflix. The National Aquariam in Baltimore, MD announced that it may retire its eight bottlenose dolphins-possibly to a seaside sanctuary. They also suspended their breeding program. Quote from the CEO of the...

John Hargrove (former SeaWorld trainer) testified in support of AB-2140 (aka the Blackfish Bill) yesterday. His testimony was a tearjerker. A few snippets: "We witnessed sterotypic and obsessive compulsive behavior such as banging their faces and heads against the pool walls and floor"...

News conference regarding the bill. Dr. Naomi Rose (marine mammal scientist who participated in A Death at SeaWorld) @ :36 Carol Ray (former SeaWorld trainer featured in blackfish tells more heart breaking stories from her days at SeaWorld) @ 4:38 John Hargrove (former Seaworld trainer in...

It's really sad what people will do for money. The Irwins will not allow any questions about Blackfish or orcas during their interviews so they know exactly what they are supporting. imo “Team Irwin told Good Morning America if they wanted to have the family on the show to make the...

A SeaWorld trainer spewing the same old propaganda. http://www.10news.com/news/blackfish-director-responds-to-seaworld-trainer-interview-021214

I don't think safety was an issue. It wouldn't have worked anyway considering Dawn was dismembered. I pulled some info from an article titled 'Keto and Tilikum Express the Stress of Captivity': "It is common for separated whales to bite down on the horizontal metal bars, or to “jaw-pop”...

SeaWorld claimed they had no association with Loro Parque (see clip in Blackfish Sunday night). :liar: Both trainers in the pic below were killed by SeaWorld orcas within one month of each other. https://twitter.com/jeffrey_ventre/status/431190635417051136/photo/1/large
