"My name is Lori Marino and I had the distinct honor of being interviewed in the film [Blackfish]. I’ve been studying dolphins and whales now for over 20 years. I’m a faculty member at Emory. I’ve studied dolphin and whale intelligence as well as self-awareness and had a chance to see killer...

The past does not equal the future... More than a movie, Blackfish is a movement that will fundamentally change SeaWorld forever....

“We do not separate killer whale moms and calves. SeaWorld recognizes the important bond between mother and calf. On the rare occasion that a mother killer whale cannot care for the calf herself, we have successfully hand raised and reintroduced the calf. Whales are only moved to maintain a...

This morning I sent a letter to the principal of the Point Dume Marine Science Elementary School commending her and her students for cancelling their annual field trip to SeaWorld. Cheers to them..... I expect that other school groups will follow in their example and cancel similar trips...

Now, that is funny. :happy:

@JPatton let me as you a question. When was the last time you went outside to a beach and helped stranded Dolphins? Not near the beach. I write checks. Or make an donation to the organizations who do those activities? Yesterday. I am going to assume never. You assumed wrong. Who will be...

Voxel, you may sacrifice yourself for the good of others if you choose to, but please leave the animals out of it.

I've got an idea. Let's capture and deprive even MORE whales and dolphins so we can do even MORE good for the world's oceans and marine mammals. Do you see how crazy that is? Anybody?

I strongly disagree with your statement. We have got to get our heads on straight about this. We do not need to mistreat anything or anybody at SeaWorld for the good of anything or anybody else. That is a sick and twisted idea that has been sold to you by the marine park industry. Man, this...

Whoever heard of elementary school students saying ‘no’ to a field trip? Willie Nelson and Cheap Trick aren’t the only ones cancelling their trips to SeaWorld after watching Blackfish. Administrators at Point Dume Marine Science Elementary School in California cancelled an annual spring field...

No---wm49ers---she didn’t offer to let them make the movie for her. She decided to make it herself. Four people had been killed by captive, performing orcas. She had an important story to tell. One that needed to be told. SeaWorld had dominated the conversation for 50 years. Gabriela...

Not only that, but Ms. Cowperthwaite has said that she even offered to give SeaWorld her questions in advance. That is something that documentary filmmakers NEVER do. She bent over backwards to accommodate SeaWorld. SeaWorld is on the wrong side of this issue. They are on the wrong side of...

Gabriela Cowperthwaite did not set out to make a film about the "ethical issue of animals in captivity." A performing orca killed its trainer. She simply asked, "Why?" The subject of sharks in aquariums is a different movie that someone else can make.

Yes, we'll have zoos and aquariums in 50 years. We will not have captive orcas on display in the United States in 50 years.

"Most of what they tell people about killer whales is wrong. We’ve been studying these animals now for about 50 years in the wild in a lot of different places. In all of those many thousands of hours of observation we’ve never seen one killer whale kill another. Whereas in captivity these...

So what do you think of the BLACKFISH Movement now? It’s getting interesting, yes? Thank you, Willie Nelson Martina McBride .38 Special Barenaked Ladies REO Speedwagon Trisha Yearwood Cheap Trick Ann and Nancy Wilson For canceling your concerts at SeaWorld Orlando and for sending the message...

Some would ask us to consider that captivity and display in a zoo or aquarium is experienced differently by terrestrial animals (elephants) than it is by ocean-dwelling marine mammals (orcas).

Okay....but your number doesn't include future generations of orcas who would be born in captivity. It doesn't include future orcas like Morgan (Loro Parque) who would be "rescued" from the wild, put on display, and not returned to the wild.

I agree. It's a terrible idea. I'm not advocating that at all. Imagine something in between.
