Most everyone missed the true message of “BlackFish” .
Dont go to SeaWorld not because of their treatment of the Killer Whales but because of the treatment of the “trainers” who were lied to and deceived about the true risks in dealing with those animals, and the resultant loss of human lives.
But alas, in this crazy mixed up world , most everyone is emotional about the animals and neglect the foremost issue.
Sea World is not the few idiots who should be in jail for lying about the obvious danger involved when canoodling with KILLER whales, Sea World is much bigger than that and its positives far outweigh its negatives.. IMHO.
Actually, that was my take away, too ... mostly. The other thing was that this was a whale who obviously had a violent history and wasn’t particularly fond of human beings. But he kept on getting gigs and kept on being excused for his actions; kind of like Hurricane Carter.
What deception? You’re working with an animal that has its weight described in tons instead of pounds and actually has the word “killer” as a part of its name! Because of those facts I believe it is incumbent upon you to be honest to yourself and others about what that animal is capable of. If not you are lying to yourself and everybody else. They are fascinating creatures. But be aware they are still wild creatures and they are carnivores. And the last time I checked, humans are made out of meat. The problems start when some of the people who work with these animals start to think of them as human and start projecting feelings and emotions onto them. That is a mistake, sometimes a fatal one.
