I just watched Gabriela Cowperthwait’s excellent documentary: Blackfish. The film explores the problems that have occurred when Orcas are kept in captivity, and how accidents are bound to happen when these magnificent animals’ frustrations are eventually vented and “trainers” are tragically hurt or killed. It’s hard to see how anyone can justify keeping cetaceans in concrete tanks after seeing this film.
If you can’t see the movie in your local cinema you can buy or rent it on iTunes.
