Concerning Orcas: Support is getting slim

Major companies, partners, stockholders, and large portions of the public have voiced their concerns over SeaWorld's orcas. Now add three MORE former SeaWorld trainers. Having seen first hand what this business forces these cetaceans to go through, has now made them important activists against it. Reports from people directly in the industry, such as this, make me stand more firmly in my support against captive orcas. At its current state, this industry is evidently not helping these animals in any way. Whilst, certain zoos, you can argue, are redeemed by conservation efforts (sometimes, many times over), captive orcas in SeaWorld, are reaping little in terms of benefit.

They say that they've expanded research on orcas. In Blackfish, it was revealed that much of that 'research' is misleading, and tampered with to better fit their story. Such as the age of killer whales, which is actually considerably higher in wild populations.

I've got to say SeaWorld, the evidence is pretty incriminating.
