There is no humaneness in keeping whales in captivity for our entertainment. That is one boycott I believe in (any water park with Orcas). Free Willy !!! Free Tillikum !!!

All Orca in the Wild swim with a straight up dorsal fin.

An Orca in captivity always swim with its dorsal fin flopping to one side or the other.

When I saw “Blackfish”, I thought this was a racist thread. My bad.

saw this blackfish on CNN. A very good documentary. CNN should do more of these documentaries. I saw the nuclear documentary and the Michael Morton 25 years in prison documentary.
