Were you aware of how SeaWorld gets a hold of their orcas? Well let me tell you. SeaWorld from the very beginning has not had compassion towards these helpless animals feelings. When SeaWorld first started they would sent out group hunters to search and capture baby orcas. They would separate the baby orcas from their families to put them in captivity and use them for amusement. On the right of this post there is a youtube video called, "Orca Kidnapping (Blackfish)" it's a small clip from the documentary Blackfish. This clip has interviews with the ones responsible for capturing these creatures and sending them to SeaWorld. One of the orcas in captivity that is well known is Tilikum, when he was just two years old he was kidnapped and sent to Sealand. Then eventually put into SeaWorld and has spent his whole life in captivity.
