0 Comments

 
Captive orca have been all over the news the last two years, since the death of SeaWorld trainer Dawn Brancheau by Icelandic captive Tilikum. 

Orca Aware have published a new blog report (author, anon.)  which explores captivity and the educational value of displaying orca in marine entertainment facilities. 

The report includes a literature search for killer whale studies published by marine entertainment giant SeaWorld. The document for the search result listings can be downloaded here: 

Result Listings from Google Scholar SeaWorld Orca Literature Search. 

It also includes quotes from a 2006 email correspondence with the SeaWorld "Ask Shamu Team". The full email can be read here:

Email Correspondence, SeaWorld Ask Shamu Team (2006). 

You can now read "Captive Orca: Behind the Scenes or Behind Bars?"
