In the CNN film Blackfish, Director Gabriela Cowperthwaite exposes the exploitation of killer whales by Sea World Inc. and other companies. Having been to Sea World as a kid, I was shocked to learn about the cover-ups, misinformation and history that lead to both the terrible treatment of these animals and ultimate tragic results of some of their trainers. Captured in the wild and taken from their mothers at an early age, orcas have been traumatized and mistreated for decades. Despite attempts to conceal events, no public relations campaign can undo the sins of the past. For more information, see the Blackflash documentary and YouTube interview with the director:
