  John just won't be silent. Massive respect to this man. He's done so much to lead the fight against this cruelty.

  I’ve been sitting here hating the trainers, which is SO wrong. That’s like blaming a fry cook for canceling the McRib every year. It’s all corporate greed. I guarantee these trainers care and love these animals to the best of their ability with the sources they’re giving. They probably think, ‘if I don’t comply I’m getting fired.”, then sit and wonder who the next person might be <br>And all they want to do is protect them. I’m so happy I watched this.

  That 2.5 year old died because she needed her mother she was in shock! They age in human type years, imagine a 2 year old child taken from it&apos;s mother. &nbsp;These poor animals.

  This gentleman is very sincere, &nbsp;knowledgeable, articulate and intelligent ... everyone who plans on going to Sea World should view this first, &nbsp;then take their kids somewhere else.

  This is a sad story. I never understood the draw of Sea World. Never even considered it. I am surprised at how many facilities there are. If you want to see Orcas visit the waters of the Pacific Northwest both Washington and Canada. Please respect these animals because that are a threatened species.

  If everyone stopped going and paying to see these &quot;educational parks&quot; this would not STILL be happening. Fair play to him for speaking out, hope more do.

  Loved his response to the breeding question. &nbsp;Hope as time goes on, more seaworld employees come forward.

  I&apos;ve never been comfortable at the shows I&apos;ve been to. I&apos;ve attended Orlando SeaWorld and Marineland near Niagra Falls Canada. Both occasions I&apos;ve been in awe of their magesty but within minutes end up in tears. Blackfish and all these interviews have really put to light the feeling of wrong I&apos;ve always had for this industry. I hope a world wide change can occur soon
