Ten years ago, the movie Blackfish rocked SeaWorld and the entire marine park entertainment industry with its revelations about the extreme stress captive whales experience living in concrete tanks.
With vivid and disturbing evidence, the documentary brought to light how captive orcas are forced to perform and to breed and how these stressors lead to aggression toward other orcas and humans.
In this webinar, three experts on orcas review the far-reaching changes that have already occurred. And then they discuss the challenges to be met before all whales and dolphins can be retired to sanctuaries and no cetaceans remain at entertainment facilities.
* Dr. Lori Marino, the foremost expert on the brains of whales and dolphins, is joined by:
* Tim Zimmerman, the journalist who wrote the feature article The Killer in the Pool, and:
* Dr. Jeffrey Ventre, a former orca trainer at SeaWorld.
All three were involved in the making of the movie.
