    Keiko for example he was trained in that film free willy and was set free but when they let him go for real he didn't survive so that is proof

    I think what happend to that woma was a sad story but on the other hand she knew killer whales are dangerous but she really lovedd them. Keeping orcas in captivity and traing them are wrong because if they decide later that they are going to let them free they may not have tha abilitys to hunt for them selfs because in captivity they were fed by humans but humans wont be there 4 them in the wild and the animal threfore will die of hunger. on the other hand i think it is right to keep them in captivity because they will go extict and wil be never seen geain. baically they should keep orcas in captivity but not train them because if they do they wont know there own abilitys.

    I believe if the animal is in need of our help, then we help. It is wrong on our part as humans to capture animals and keep them captive, its not right. The people that have those dream jobs should follow those dreams in a little different way, like helping the animals in need. Would it be right for us to hold people in captive, Absolutely NOT. My heart does go out to the family of Trainer Dawn, its was a very unfortunate accident and I'm sure a great lose.

    This guys seems to be a bit of a problem, but you can't turn him loose. They tried that with Keiko.

    Maybe they don't need to catch any more wild ones and bring them in. They have enough captive raised.

    Animals are dangerous to work with, she knew that, she still loved them and still wanted to work with them.

    Of course they shouldn't be kept in captivity so SeaWorld can financially benefit and trainers can have their dream jobs. She knew the dangers and chose to continue on..Sad for her. Sad for the whale. The whale is probably losing it's sanity living like that.....
