Sea World has been the center of controversy ever since the 2013 documentary Black Fish was released.  Ever since then it has opened up a discussion about orcas and whether or not we should be keeping them in captivity.  Ever since the Sea World has suffered huge consequences, but today they made a HUGE announcement that might change everything! 

 

Black Fish was a documentary that came out in 2013 that exposed to dark side to keeping orcas in captivity.  They had some very compelling arguments, and facts backing up the claim that captivity is not what's best for the animal.  If you haven't seen Black Fish, I recommend checking it out! It's really a very well done documentary.

While I'm not an animal expert, nor do I claim to be, I am a human who has compassion for animals.  I can see both sides of the arguments.  I see a side where I truly believe Sea World does do a lot of good for marine life, they do a lot of research and actively promote education about oceans and marine life preservation.   But I also see where sometimes there are animals that humans just aren't meant to contain, and I do believe orcas are one of them.   However today's HUGE announcement from Sea World, might just change everything!

Always stand up for what you believe in, because you never know when your voice can turn into 10 voices, then turn into thousands of voices. That's exactly what happened here, and a change is actively being made.
