Should we really be keeping orcas in captivity?

"Blackfish" documentary raises controversy

A new documentary titled "Blackfish" investigates Sea World's orca policies (particularly with regards to Tillikum, the orca who has been involved in three trainer deaths so far - but who continues to work in public), as well as our own culpability for the imprisonment of orcas. It's a complicated issue, and Sea World has raked in a lot of money over the years. But maybe it's time to stop imprisoning these huge, sentient beings for our own amusement, maybe?
