just thought about it because my friend has just been on holiday and saw a dolphin show... I don't like it - at all, its not i don't like conservation, zoos and aquariums are great but thats not the issue its the stupid shows. And i bet most have us have seen a sea lion, dolphin or killer whale show at some point, i have seen a se lion one and i didn't like it, it is just un-natural to make a wild animal perform tricks, not to mention the amount of trainer injured or killed, i just think you can't keep animals from the HUGE sea in a small tank and expect them to perform tricks, especially killer whales, they are predators, they have been known to kill great white sharks which are the lions of the sea but yet we expect them to be cute and compliable because of films like free willy. I wish people would realise sooner or later they will react on the instinct they were born with... What do others think? And this woman returned to train again i mean if that isn't a message in its most non suttle form that they aren't there to be paraded about i don't know what is...

oh yeah wait... there was other stronger messages... some trainers didn't get away! i also hate in this vid the size of the isolation tank they put the orca in its like they are punishing it for acting naturally

and a orca in the wild... i also find it interesting they won't captivate great whites because they are too dangerous and people will only dive with them with a cage between them but we ride on the backs of the things that can kill them easily... common sense?!
