SeaWorld Is Done Breeding Orcas, Phasing Out Killer Whale Shows

FUSE TV - SeaWorld Is Done Breeding Orcas, Phasing Out Killer Whale Shows

After years of controversy, SeaWorld Park is officially halting its killer whale breeding program, as well as phasing out the theatrical orca shows that have served as a staple attraction.

In an op-ed for the L.A. Times, SeaWorld president and CEO Joel Manby explained that he has heard the moral objections to keeping orcas in manmade captivity, crystallized in the popular documentary Blackfish, loud and clear. 

“We are proud of contributing to the evolving understanding of one of the world's largest marine mammals,” Manby writes. “Now we need to respond to the attitudinal change that we helped to create — which is why SeaWorld is announcing several historic changes. This year we will end all orca breeding programs — and because SeaWorld hasn't collected an orca from the wild in almost four decades, this will be the last generation of orcas in SeaWorld's care. We are also phasing out our theatrical orca whale shows.”
