Blackfish: Orca in captivity blamed for three deaths
Does captivity amount to torture?
The documentary, "Blackfish" makes its television premier.
The film argues that keeping Orcas in captivity is wrong - it makes them aggressive and deadly.
The film tells the story of Tilicum, an Orca that killed a handler in Florida. But that wasn't the first incident with this Killer Whale.
Martin Savidge is OutFront with the Orca's troubled history.

Does captivity amount to torture? You should see, some of the photos of the orcas on the web. I saw one photo, where one of the trained orcas had their skin, flesh rotted (a hole), ( an opened wound, right to their bone) from doing tricks on the concrete hard surfaces of the pool area. It was horrible looking.
Perhaps this film will change more things at Sea World and the orcas can be free!
There's nothing wrong with the whale.
