If someone was in a bathtub for more than half of their life and they were half the size of the tub, they are bound to get little irritated and even maybe a little psychotic. It would be very uncomfortable and very cruel. SeaWorld is doing just that to their Killer Whales. In recent years the topic of SeaWorld holding Orcas captive for entertainment purposes has been very controversial. Orcas being captured needs to be ceased. Going back to 1970, Puget Sound, WA was when they captured the first whales for Sealand. John Crowe was the driver of the boat, according to him the way they caught them was by aircraft, spotters, speedboats and they actually had bombs that they would throw into the water to harm the Orcas.

The most sickening part was when John Crowe said there were 3 dead whales after they were captured.

They claimed that Tarkara, a calf, was really twelve years old. Also, Kalina, a four and a half year old, was taken away from her mother. No matter what age they still took a baby away from their mother. SeaWorld said they do not separate the mothers and calves. They counterclaim that the film, Blackfish used former trainers who had little experience so it was unfair for them to bash SeaWorld. Also, they used animal rights activists instead of scientist who obviously going to say that it is inhumane. In addition, they made the film focused on Dawn Brancheau 's death. The opening of the film, it 's the sound of a 911 call but never specified that it was Brancheau 's case. Besides, the film has created the image of Tilikum being psychotic and aggressive when he really isn 't. “Since the body was found on Tilikum’s back, it’s unlikely the whale was behaving aggressively…….The
