Would you like to be kidnapped by your family and locked in a bathtub to live out the rest of your days and be used as a source of entertainment? This is exactly what happens when an orca is captured, which is disgusting and pure evil. Gabriela Cowperthwaite's documentary Blackfish helps describe the horrors orcas face in captivity and reveals the ugly, hidden side of SeaWorld. Blackfish does a great job of showing what SeaWorld has hidden and really makes you hate it. Blackfish's main focus is on an orca named Tilikum who was captured off the eastern region of Iceland when he was two years old. Tilikum was first sent to Sealand where he was constantly attacked by the other orcas, which made him very special. Tilikum was left in a concrete tank for a year in Iceland before being transferred to Sealand. While held captive, all he did was swim in circles and float on the surface, which was nowhere near enough exercise for an animal that typically swam 100 miles a day. Tilikum was eventually transferred to Sealand, British Columbia, where he was tortured by two female orcas, Haida and Nootka. Tilikum became very stressed and unhappy being forced to preform and being attacked by the other whales. When a Sealand trainer fell into the water, Tilikum is said to have dragged her to the bottom of the enclosure and then tossed her around with the other whales, eventually killing her. Soon after his death Sealand closed for good and decided to sell Tilikum, when SeaWorld learned that they had quickly purchased it. Tilikum is the largest whale in captivity, and SeaWorld has used it for mating purposes to build its own orca population. The captivity had a huge impact on Tilikum and made him very stressed at SeaWorld. One night, after closing, a man decided to sneak into his tub and Tilikum is believed to have killed him because he was found naked on top of him. SeaWorld lied and said the man drowned on him and that Tilikum was simply playing with his body afterward even though there were visible bite marks and the man's scrotum had been bitten off. In 2010, trainer Dawn Brancheau came across orcas that are destined to live in the wild and swim about 100 miles a day. Instead SeaWorld decided to capture them and use them solely for entertainment purposes. Orcas in captivity do not behave at all like those in the wild and this is due to the fact that the living conditions in captivity are not suitable for keeping such an active animal healthy. Tilikum is a great example of what happens to an orca when it is kept in a tank against its will. Tilikum ended up killing 3 people, not because he was actively trying to kill them, but because the unnecessary stress on him made him more and more irritated and he decided to take it out on the cause of his stress. If the orcas had not been held captive none of these tragedies would have occurred. SeaWorld is a horrible place and needs to be shut down permanently to stop torturing these immensely intelligent people
