Review of Blackfish (2013) by Crusader . — 21 Dec 2013
After watching this excellent documentary, it is clear that SeaWorld is definitely the 5,000-pound blackfish in the room!
Blackfish boldly goes where no man has gone before and makes a universal argument for humanity instead of corporate profits. It also educates people who literally have no clue about the dangers to people and animals/mammals when we use them for entertainment in the manner that SeaWorld uses them.
Not surprisingly, SeaWorld refused requests by the filmmaker to be interviewed for the documentary, and their silence speaks mouthfuls!
Now that there is a huge and successful campaign against SeaWorld and their evil ways, they are fighting back with a million-dollar newspaper ad campaign, but I hope they fail and more people need to tell SeaWorld (and similar entertainment venues) enough is enough!
Keep an open mind: read the SeaWorld ads and statements to the media, watch the film, and see if you don't come to the same conclusion I did more than a decade ago about SeaWorld.
