Imprisoning them in the stressful environment of a small pool made to preform for dead fish when they have high intelligence language and culture is extreme cruelty.
I suggest people go look at some videos on Orcas on You Tube or to read something about them. This creature is our counterpart in the waters in many ways. We really should treat them better.

I feel bad (sort of) for those who may lose jobs at Seaworld but the whales need to be freed and no more taken into captivity.

They can create many events that don't include orcas and other captive animals. It could be amazing. Or they can go out of business.
