What has been proven to be true according to participants involved in capturing orcas, they provided testimony when the baby whale Takara was seperated from her mom, because they want him to shift in Florida, they pulled Takara out of the pool, shifted in the truck and while moring on the way to the airport, Karsaka the mom of Takara was just left along there, starting screaming, searching for her babe and crying. The trainers there have never heard anything like that before. The senior analyzer analysed those vocals that Karsaka made, they were long-range vocals. She was trying sth to look for Takara. "That is heartbreaking." "How can anyone look at that and think that is morally acceptable?" "NO, IT'S NOT!"
Speaking of the case of senior trainer Dawn B. who were attacked by Tilikum at work, this was a blunt force injuries of the head and neck, contusion, lacerations and abrasion. An absolute tragedy at SeaWorld. Ridiculously and ironically, their first saying to the media is that Dawn slipped and felled and drown, due to more witness provided information, their second rebuttal was that Tilikum pull the woman into the water, she did not fall into the tank, "He grabbed her ponytail." According to John Jett , the former trainer at SW, this is a subtle way of placing the blame on Dawn's shoulders, she should not have had a long pony tail, even she had, she should have make it a bun." But how dare SW blame her, this is disrespect when she's not even alive to defend herself. SW is good at telling such bold-faced lie.

(You might be able to detect the fallacies easily in what they claim on they are doing "Caring"?
"Scientific research for educational purposes?" What a lie and an omission of the explanation on the accidence.)
Orcas are born to be wild, not encaged in glass tanks to satisfy a multi-billion dollar corporation that makes money through the exploitation of orcas to entertain people in the theme park. All whales in captivity have a bad life, collapsing dorsal, drilled teeth and rake marks. They are trapped in a pool like a grey stingy little box, when they should be swimming 100 miles a day in the wide blue ocean, what we could expect them to be? If you were in a bathtub for 25 years, don't you think you'd get a little psychotic? Like Tilikum, captive killer whales are all emotionally destroyed. They are all psychologically traumatise. These creatures are wild, intelligent, extremely so, its been proven. Killer whales do not need veterinarians to get them vitamins,they are more than capable to survive and reproduce calves much more healthier than that treatment in an artificial environment.
According to the most respectful orca expert researcher Howard Garrett, "...they are extremely friendly in the wild. Orcas live in this big family and they have life span that very similar to human's. The females can live to 100 years or even more , males about 50-60 years. Neuroscientist Lori Marino has given facts on orcas, that the orca brain has extended out, right adjacent to their limbic system, this paralimbic cleft processes emotions. This inferences have a sense of self, a send of social bonding, that taken them to another level, much more stronger and complex than any other mammals, including humans.
In SeaWorld, Orcas are being collected from different parts of the ocean, while they suppose to be living with their own social bondings, they stand together in the wild. These animals in the wild show absolutely no violence toward human. I watched Blackfish, it tells the truth and is really sad but it opens your eyes.
Final Concludes with a quote
They're an animal that possesses great spiritual and emotional power. They are not to be messed with."
- David Duffus, Orca Expert

Q&A in the film. Let us think in our daily life.
"What happens when you take a ten ton whale that's meant to travel as far as 75 miles in a day, and confine it in a tiny tank for years, deprive it of companionship and food, and force it to perform on cue day in and day out?"
The answer: Extreme psychological pressure that probably led Tilikum to become psychotic. The miracle to me after watching the film is that more orcas don't kill their trainers.
In turn chilling and fascinating, Blackfish asks important questions.
- What are we teaching our children about nature when we confine a whale to a tank, starve it, and coerce it into performing tricks for us?
- Do we have the right to take a whale, a highly social animal, separate it from its clan, separate mothers from babies,and essentially torture an animal for our own entertainment?
