    Did anyone see it? It is available on bluray. Very impressive documentary. These giant orcas live in small pools and that has a huge psychological effect on them. In the wild an orca has never attacked a human being but at parks there have been more than 70 attacks. In the wild females can reach the age of 100 but in parks they don't get older than 30.

    Funny how all of those former employees had no problem cashing Sea World's checks. Every single person who goes to watch shows or works there knows that it can't be good to keep an orca captive. I mean, no shit Sherlock.

    yeh, it's not really the same thing though...it's about the Japanese killing animals for food, which is what we all do

    That's not all it's about. They also talk a great deal about finding dolphins for places like sea world.

    I found it heartbreaking when Sea world seperated a mother Orca from her child. The mother was constantly crying and screaming in the corner of the pool. These are intelligent animals and in the wild an orca lives his entire life with mother.
