RIP Kalina. Fourth Sea World Orca in four months dies

[Cetacea]

Wake up, Sea World. They need to be with their friends and families. Swimming nearly nonstop over great distances..."talking" like crazy with one another. Having sex.


Sad but ultimately optimistic video combining Beethoven with Cove theme and wild Orca convos.

1. Sad news.

It is just not right to try to keep these beings in captivity. Slave performers.

3. True.

And there must be some heavy emotional/psychological scarring going on, considering that they are separated from their mothers, whom they typically never leave.

2. I do not know why this is happening but they should be shut down now.

5. Breathing is voluntary in dolphins/orcas.

They may have just stopped breathing, just as Cathy of Flipper fame did after the show and crew packed it in.

4. Sad, so sad.
