To ALL of the people that say they wouldn't go because they "mistreat" the animals... I say there is nothing farther from the truth!!! Today we were able to talk to one of Lolita's (the killer whale) trainers. She was explaining how Lolita is a diva and they even have to cut and take the guts out of her salmon before she will even eat it. She would not survive in the wild... I wish uneducated people would stop saying to free Lolita. She seems to be healthy and happy. She is 50 years old...the oldest whale in human care. If one wants to pretend they know what they are talking about, they would KNOW that whales do NOT have to breathe...if she is unhappy she had 50 years to get out of it...at the very least!! My daughter is studying to be a marine biologist. Since age 5 she began researching every whale in human care, their ancestry, their likes and dislikes...and has met all/studied all of them in the US. If I have to have one complaint I have would have to say that the facility upkeep of the public areas of show seating...needs a little TLC.
