Stopping the orca shows at SeaWorld was allegedly a challenge

For many, prohibiting trainers from swimming with orcas was a significant step forward. Regrettably, the rule may have been more difficult to apply than it appeared on the surface. Those in control of SeaWorld allegedly put up a lot of resistance because they wanted the orca displays to continue.
