I was sent this map without a source but I thought it was impressive nonetheless. It shows the SeaWorld parking lot in yellow. The green dot is where Orcas spend their lives.

It’s awful how they keep them in captivity.
For anyone who hasn’t seen it, I recommend watching the Blackfish documentary.
I have strong feelings about the animals in the Sea World exhibits, particularly the Orcas and Dolphins. However, I contracted for Sea World Orlando for 5 years as an entertainer and often had to be “back-stage” or “back-area.” I watched Blackfish and it did NOT represent the experience that I, or any other team member I worked/talked with had. It felt very sensationalist and not grounded in reality (or at least, the reality I witnessed for 5 years). If you watch it, I’d just approach it with some scrutiny, because it really didn’t come off as a “documentary” to me.
Like “Drive to Survive” for animal care, if I understand it correctly?
I’m unfamiliar with Drive to Survive
And do you think they represent Orcas realistically?
Blackfish or Sea World in general?

Blackfish is the animal version of Supersize Me. While it genuinely does a good job showing the conditions and plausibility of the topic, it does it at such a sensationalized and over complicated fashion it takes everything away from the message.
Haven’t seen it, but that sounds about right
