My favorite part of the coverage of BLACKFISH on HLN and CNN happened last night when Ms. Cowperthwaite told CNN’s Martin Savage that current SeaWorld trainers are in communication with her and are talking to her about injuries.
The clown Jack Hannah---looking sharp in his little Jungle Cruise outfit---almost flipped his wig when he heard that. I think he rose from his chair an inch or two.
Yes. Gabriela served it up nicely. I think you are going to see more SeaWorld trainers and handlers leave the company and turn on SeaWorld. (I have always thought that---now I think it more so.)
Jane Velez-Mitchell said on her show that we’ve come to a time where the people are beginning to take animal rights issues seriously. I agree. I said back in the summer that SeaWorld is now operating in a new era.
The following quote doesn’t come from the movie, but I’d like to add it here. It’s from the book "Lifting the Veil of Duality" by Andreas Moritz. He wrote:
“None of the species on this Earth is meant to act in a superior manner toward any other. Exploitation in any form may bring short-term benefits but result in long-term losses. Exploiting humans or animals reflects loss of power and freedom for both the exploiter and the exploited. We have entered a time when every action not serving the highest interest of all involved, and that includes every person and animal on this planet, is backfiring without delay. What I am saying is that we may need to watch out for the opportunities for change, opportunities that correspond to a new level of energy awaiting to be discovered and utilized for the betterment of all living creatures on Earth.”
