I was just there with my daughter and we did the behind the scenes tour, and the love that everyone there has for those animals makes me happy...I love all of the information we got there and I love the interaction that my daughter at 6 was able to learn and experience that without places like Sea World would not be able to. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but thankfully, not everyone has the same one. Very well put.

I loved going to seaworl, but after I watched disneys oceans and saw that dolphins and whales were being killed , it made me really sad and I started learning more about why this was happening. When I found out that places like sea word paid dolphin killers lots of money to get the best dolphins and pretty much put them in jail, I decided I can go there anymore and had my dad help me make a website, <a href="http://www.savetheseaanimals.com" rel="nofollow">www.savetheseaanimals.com</a> so that even though I am still young I can do what little I can to get the word out about what is going on I am 8 .

And while the trainers do care for the animals, and treat them "nicely", they should be doing more to end captivity, rather than make a profit from it. Watch "The Cove" and you will see what I mean.

They are crazy about their animals. They love them half to death. SeaWorld is the world's best marine mammal facility, hands down. I have been back behind the scenes of SeaWorld's orca tanks. The tanks, besides being massive with a total of seven, are clean, and the animals are as well cared for as they can get. Unless you have actually seen these people working with their animals not in shows, you cannot know just how much they care for them. Also, on my recent visit to SeaWorld Florida, I saw Tilikum playing with another whale in a 7-million-gallon tank. He is not isolated or mistreated. Get over it.

I felt the same way when I was a kid and went to SW. I know a few people that would love to see this video for "educational" purposes. Can you post it on youtube and then share the video? Here is a video on how it all started.<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2_-lJILmO4" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2_-lJILmO4</a> Lisa – Thank you for sharing this story.

This will only stop when the world population stands by animal rights and marches against the confinement of these innocent, wild animals who only deserve to be back in the wild in their beloved oceans.
