The Truth Behind Sea WorldWhen people think of Sea World, they think of a fun and exciting park where they can see various aquatic animals. They think of the very large manatees swimming behind the glass. People think of the hilarious dolphin and seal shows. More than anything, people associate Sea World with Shamu. The incredible Shamu show which is a must-see when visiting the park. They think of the happy trainers and the fun they are having with the orcas. All of this makes Sea World a multi-billion dollar company. When we think of Sea World, people don't wonder what happens when the crowd isn't watching. They are not curious about how orcas are treated. They see the coaches and assume no one ever gets hurt. However, with research it is very easy to discover that Sea World is not only a terrible company, but also a disgrace to our society. The fact is that Sea World abuses its killer whales. It is very easy to see if a person knows what to look for regarding the welfare of the whale. Another truth about Sea World is that its trainers are put in danger every day. No amount of training can prepare a person for real action with a twenty-two thousand pound abused whale. The Sea World corporation is as corrupt as the politicians in Illinois. It's not a joke. They intentionally harm their whales and put their trainers in danger. When questioned in court, they hire very good lawyers to lie and help them avoid charges by presenting false and misleading evidence. They accomplish all this while cutting a very large salary. Sea World must be closed and the public must be made aware of the atrocities that have occurred and are still occurring.
