Legislations aim to stop orcas from being kept in captivity
People have been campaigning against SeaWorld and the practice of keeping orcas in captivity for many years. The death of Dawn Brancheau did nothing more than hasten the process and bring the concerns of an unprecedented number of individuals to light. One of the many new developments that occurred was the passing of legislation that sought to put an end to the practice of keeping whales in captivity. One of the many things that they planned to accomplish was to restore the orcas’ quality of life and prevent any additional tragedy from occurring at SeaWorld. SeaWorld claims that they have not captured a wild orca in over three decades to demonstrate their concern for the public. Is it too late to try now? If we take into account the fact that people still go to SeaWorld, we might deduce that the park may nevertheless have some potential.

The park pledged it would no longer breed orcas in captivity in 2016
Where do orcas originate from if SeaWorld does not capture them in the wild? That would be the park’s breeding program. Nonetheless, losing Dawn Brancheau in such tragic circumstances meant that the park needed to act quickly to demonstrate to the world that they care about the treatment of its whales. In 2016, one of those times occurred. SeaWorld declared in 2016 that it will no longer breed whales in captivity and would instead allow them to live out their natural lives before euthanizing them. Tilikum was one of the most popular shires at SeaWorld, having fathered at least 21 orcas during his tenure in captivity.
