Sea World San Diego to end Orca Shows

[Catherine]

I just heard on the news that sea World San Diego is going to give up its killer Whale shows. 
After the release of the movie Blackfish there have been many protests and Sea World is responding by making plans to close the show.

They plan to show the Orcas they have in a more natural setting.  They are trying to be sensitive to the attitudes  of the public.
Performing animals shows may have been acceptable years ago, but times have changed.  There is more respect for the Orcas.
We don't even call them killer whales anymore. We recognize Orcas as wonderfully complex and social animals.

I don't know how good a job Sea World will do with regards to the Orcas and the other sea mammals in their care. That is something only time will tell.
They say they are moving towards a more conservation oriented message. If they do, then they could do some good.

One thing is clear:  PROTESTING WORKS!
