This is the story of one of my SeaWorld camps and when I was able to take the trainer test. The specific day was Thursday July, 24th. It started off as a very dreary day. The afternoon was hot and muggy, and then the skies began to darken. We were all seated at the Clyde and Seymour “Take Pirate Island” show when the skies opened up. After the show, we were scheduled to do our trainer test in the Blue Horizons show pool, but before the rain had even stopped coming down they cancelled the show.…
have left animals to rot in their cramped cages when they die; left animals unfed, untreated for wounds; or left in areas so minuscule they cause psychological trauma. Seaworld has some of the worst cases of animal cruelty on documentation. One of the most notorious cases of animal cruelty in Seaworld is their care of orcas. Seaworld keeps orcas in containers inadequate for their size. At night, the orcas are placed in a cramped shelter barely big enough for one orca, the next day many orcas are…
Blackfish released on July 19, 2013 by the producer Gabriela Cowperthwaite. The film shows orcas being trapped in SeaWorld for human entertainment. They are trapped in small swimming pools where they have no place to hide or no place where they can be away from the rest of the orcas. The argument it makes is that orcas should be free and not in pools. The trainers at SeaWorld believe that SeaWorld should close and let all the killer whales live their rest of their life in the ocean where they…
Prejudice Against SeaWorld Do you know what a vaquita is? If you don’t, I’ll explain it later. As the next generation, we should not condemn SeaWorld for the caretaking of captive orcas. This organization never broke the law in obtaining what few wild orcas they own. Most of the orcas in SeaWorld have been born using their groundbreaking breeding program and have never experienced the ocean, pollution, or hunger. The orcas in captivity receive the best medical attention in the world and help…

SeaWorld is a billion dollar entertainment industry and rehabilitation center for injured and orphaned animals. “Blackfish” a film by Gabriela Cowperthwaite is inspired mainly by the events surrounding Tilikum, a bull orca weighing over 12,000 pounds currently owned by Seaworld. The purpose of the film is to expose the wrongful captivity of Orcas at SeaWorld. In the beginning of the film, trainers share the way they came to the industry. Their love and respect for the beauty of whales inspired…
The article titled: After SeaWorld, A “Blackfish” Effect On The Circuses and Zoos?, was written about how Seaworld is going to stop housing Killer Whales. In the introductory paragraph(s) Senior Vice President of PETA Lisa Lange spoke about how SeaWorld is deciding to stop housing Orca whales. Lange mentioned this change was due inpart to the incident in 2010, when trainer Dawn Brancheau was pulled under by an Orca. Lange went on to talk about the cruel treatment of animals in other countries.…
Lost At SeaWorld My first field trip was supposed to be a riveting one. I was about four years old, addicted to chocolate milk, and had a constant rush of energy. The day of the field trip all of the tiny chil-dren were about to explode because most of us have never been to SeaWorld, let alone know what it was. Our tiny brains couldn’t comprehend what SeaWorld had to offer besides the enor-mous black and white whale on the permission slip we gave our parents to sign. The bus ride to SeaWorld…
Universal, the park’s tickets will be competitive to draw in budget-conscious tourists. So, the park’s tickets will be more comparable to SeaWorld Orlando’s ticket pricing. SeaWorld is currently under a lot of scrutiny due to alleged animal abuse; so, they sell their one-day tickets at $79. However, despite the low pricing in comparison to their competition, SeaWorld still has been seeing decreased attendance over the past few years. Tune Lagoon could potentially take even more of SeaWorld’s…
