Dear SeaWorld,
I am writing you in concern of the orcas that you have. I'm curious as to why you would be willing and able to spend 400 millon dollars on expanding 4 orca enclosure, but can't put that money to good use and build a beautiful sanctuary for the orcas?
This may not agree with some activists but I'm not one of them.
Think about the money you could bring in to let your guests visit this sanctuary and see these highly entellgent beings where they belong. Just think about it and what you could do!! You can have a info center and a place where people can learn about these beings!! You could also attach GoPros to them and do real study on how orcas behave in their real environment. You can also give live feeds for other to view from home.
I don't think Keiko was a failure at all, he lived for 5 years in a sanctuary and he was taught to follow a boat for his sea walks!! If you don't see where I'm going with this, then picture this, paying visitors could go out with trained orcas on sea walks!!! People would pay big money for an experience like that! I know I would. You would also need to build an underwater viewing for the people to see them, and a cool nature walk that people can take to walk around the enclosed bay!!
SeaWorld you are really not looking at the big picture here!! Orcas would get their own stimulation from a somewhat wild enclosure!! You could also include real stimulation for these beings like catching their own fish and finely getting use of echo location!!
I'm a reasonable human being and I know that they can never be returned to the wild but they can live in happiness for the rest of their lives in a beautiful SeaWorld built sanctuary!!
Best regards
Orca Keepsakes
