3 Orcas Have Died at SeaWorld in 1 Year – Demand Whales Get Retired to Sanctuaries!
Imagine spending every single day in a tiny room. Imagine being stolen from your family and everything that you love. Imagine that people paid to see your captivity. This is the sad reality for the animals at SeaWorld. Despite SeaWorld’s many claims throughout the years, captivity is not, nor will it ever be real entertainment. It’s an outdated social norm that is, slowly but surely, fading in the 21st-century.
Although Seaworld pledged to not keep orca whales in captivity after their current ones die, this does little to nothing for the orcas currently trapped in their “abusement parks.” This pledge was hardly inspired by compassion but is more the result of negative press following the 2013 documentary, Blackfish. A Care2 Petition demanding that the orca whales be retired to a sanctuary very much piggybacks off the documentary, boldly declaring all of Seaworld’s wrongs.
The petition is very clear: “After the recent death of Kasatka (euthanized after 33 years in captivity), 3 orcas have died in SeaWorld’s tanks this year alone.” It continues, “NOW is the time for SeaWorld to do what is right for their animals, and release them all to sea pens, transitioning them to the wild as soon as possible.”
Captivity is not fun for animals, SeaWorld is incapable of providing a natural, safe life to the animals in their care, and there are significantly better ways to enjoy nature than trapping animals in cages and tanks. There really isn’t much else to say. If you’re inspired to take action, sign the petition and take action. Don’t buy tickets to SeaWorld (ever)! Speak out against SeaWorld on social media. Send emails to SeaWorld. Join protests. And, most importantly, share this with others. In order to rid our society of abusement parks like SeaWorld, we must share the knowledge with others. We won’t win this fight unless we come together.

Forty-one orcas, along with hundreds of whales, dolphins, seals, walruses and other animals, have died on SeaWorld’s watch . Yet, SeaWorld still ignores what its grim body count couldn’t make clearer: captivity kills. Families that care about animals don\’t set foot near SeaWorld or any other marine park.
SEA WORLD IS BAD FOR THIS NOW. FREE THEM NOW.
My world was falling apart. My mind, for some reason, wont let go of the memory of My Wife. I had a very big problem with my wife few months ago, that lead to her leaving me. All efforts to get her back proved abortive. one day while going through the internet i saw so many testimony of this great man called Dr.Goodluck and how he helped people with all kinds of problem, his advert was everywhere,. Although I never believed in spell casting, but I had no choice than to give him a try so i contacted Him, I was so desperate to have my wife back with me once again. So I did all he told me to do. He told me that my wife will come back to me in the next 17hours after the spell is completed. I was skeptical. He casted the spell for me and i was so anxious waiting to see or hear from her, it was just 14hours after the spell was done my wife called and said she was coming HOME and she was asking for forgiveness for her ever hurting me before…..It was a dream come through for me!!! that was how my family and relationship was save and our relationship is now stronger than ever.my advice to you out there facing same problem or even worst then mine cry no more and contact this great man called Dr Goodluck He is capable of handling any kind of problem.
