There’s a scene from the CNN documentary “Blackfish” that begins with a haunting 911 call.

“We need a … response at SeaWorld,” a voice says. “A whale has eaten one of the trainers.”

The 2013 documentary suggests the theme park’s treatment of orcas, also called killer whales, prompted gruesome attacks. Since its release last year, it has evoked backlash from animal rights advocates, corporations and lawmakers. It has moved legislators to attempt to ban their captivity, companies to pull out of partnerships and researchers to study large ocean animals.

Now, SeaWorld is paying the price.

I watched it yesterday and just wow...

Watched it a few months ago... yeah, there's a lot to it you'd never consider.

It was on the TV at Okada while I was eating sushi the other night. I couldn't help but a little.

I'm sorry

After watching the documentary yesterday, the part I couldn’t get out of my head were the two guys who were tasked with “retrieving” the killer whale semen. I do believe I'd have used a sick day.

All drains lead to the ocean.

Pretty eye opening. I don't remember Sea World using TV commercials prior to this documentary. The early stories of how whales were corralled and caught was pretty bad.
