I'm starting this petition to raise awareness about the inhumane practices SeaWorld partakes in, including but not limited to capturing endangered Orca Whales from their families, keeping them in confined spaces, and punishing the wild animals for not cooperating with the trainers. These animals were not meant to be ridden on and to perform tricks, they are tremendously large animals that need thousands of miles of water to happily survive. Orcas have an extension in their brains that humans do not have which enables them to have a much more emotional lifetime. These creatures are extraordinarily interesting. They're attentive, they breathe both water and air, they connect with other animals, and they're absolutely friendly. The allegations I've collected about SeaWorld come directly from former SeaWorld trainers, documentaries, and online research. SeaWorld is slowly killing off the endangered species and everyone is batting a blind eye about it. It's time the Orcas obtain the freedom they so richly deserve.
