Is this real?The orcas dorsal fin is upright not curved over like normal orcas in captivity Would it be this chill if it was newly captured?
ImVeryDisturbedByThis
Not all captive killer whales have curved dorsal fins.

That's heartbreaking.

Thanks, Debbie!
......so like he drowned?
His tank filled with filthy flood water, and it took Marineland far too long to filter it. He died of twisted intestines, likely caused 1/2

2/2 by stress and the loss of his mother a few months earlier.
Here come the waterworks

People questioning the flood clearly doesn't know what's in flood water and where orcas naturally live.

Thanks, I was itching for some sadness today.

flooding?
3dartwork
Since a jackass replied, the floodwater was both non-salt and very filthy. Couldn't be filtered in time.
AlyssaHostetter
Geez. You are basically asking for a response when you "comment" on something.
SimpleFlips
Why does not understanding something make you a jackass?
prepbatman
yeah; easy friend.
I actually said "since a jackass replied" as meaning another person replied to his question with a jackass/sarcastic answer.
Oh I misunderstood! Sorry!
CarrionXR
Asking questions is how you become not a jackass. I think he was referring to the sarcastic poster from 2 hours previous to his post.
You are correct.

Did cavemen domesticate Killer Whales? I missed that... Strange
Thank you. Just like you may have missed the circumstances of this particular whale's captivity. Not all animals are fit for release.
And not all species are suitable for captivity.
Whales born in captivity would rapidly seek out humans and
Not all *individuals* of a species are capable of life in the wild. SeaWorld has not collected a wild whale in four decades.
lowbudgetburger
Housemen are working on it.
This whale would be dead in the open ocean.
Just sayin these magnificent creatures deserve freedom to be in their natural habitat
Free a captive animal and see how well it does in the wild. Chances are, it won't last a week.
I'm not a P.E.D.A member or psycho animal activist. I cringe at animals in cages.
ppl ASSume PETA or a vegan i am neither-go Bacon!
I hate the name "killer whale".
Why? it fits. They literally kill just about everything. Including larger whales.
You don't know much about Orcas.
Virtually every thing that is naturally found in the ocean is on their menu and they kill for fun as well as for food.
OGCurious
Fun fact: killer whales (orcas) are actually not whales at all but a type of dolphin.
WarmGlowingWarmingGlow
Also, its suspected they got their name by a mistake in the translation of "whale killer".
WOODINGER
Since dolphins are a type of whale and orcas are a type of dolphin, they are actually both.
Dolphins arent whales, Skates arent rays, and hares arent rabbits.

Of course it's biased. Like a critique from Sea World is biased too. And they're still treating these animals pretty shitty. Bottom line.
By all means please explain how you believe the animals are being treated "shitty"
In 140 characters? Impossible. First off, I'm not a fan of animals in captivity for breeding (commercial) and entertainment purposes. (1/?)

Orcas' intelligence is not unique among captive animals. Why does their size make them special targets for anticaptivity?
zoomtothemoon
Hazarding a guess it's because huge animals need way more room to be healthy/happy, probably more than we can give them.
