They are called killer whales!
God I hate these people.
I went to Sea World Orlando in April and noticed that too.
The most cruel thing Sea World has ever done to a whale was making them live in Cleveland. And they have not done that for quite awhile now.
“The most cruel thing Sea World has ever done to a whale was making them live in Cleveland.”
C’mon, it’s not like they made them live on the economy and commute to work...did they?
But hey they’ve got LeBron and Johnny Football now.
