SeaWorld's Unusual Retort To A Critical Documentary + The Rebuttal

22/7/2013

'Death at SeaWorld' author David Kirby rebuts SeaWorld's attempt at criticising 'Blackfish', a documentary about the life of a captive orca known as Tiliku. You can read David's response, entitled 'SeaWorld's Clumsy Attack on "Blackfish"' here: http://deathatseaworld.com/?p=687

The New York Times writes about SeaWorld's unusual retort to the documentary:
"In an unusual pre-emptive strike on the documentary “Blackfish,” set for release on Friday in New York and Los Angeles by Magnolia Pictures, SeaWorld Entertainment startled the film world last weekend by sending a detailed critique of the movie to about 50 critics who were presumably about to review it. It was among the first steps in an aggressive public pushback against the film, which makes the case, sometimes with disturbing film, that orca whales in captivity suffer physical and mental distress because of confinement."
