Black Fish or Black Spot?

We are big on documentaries at our house.  Last night we watched Black Fish, a documentary on Tilikum, the bull Orca whale kept at Sea World in Orlando.  To say we were disgusted after watching this film is an understatement.  After living in the Pacific NW and seeing Orca whales swim alongside our own boat, watching the account of a whale in captivity filled us both with great sadness.  I am revolted that I, yes I, many years ago went to Sea World and was "entertained" by all that the trainers got the whales to do.  Today, older and wiser, I would gladly stand outside this facility and hold a placard denouncing the treatment of these amazing creatures and encouraging others to boycott this spectacle.  The film is well done with testimonials of former trainers and a horrific look of how whales were harvested for this entertainment industry.   After a number of trainer deaths, training practices no longer allow the in water antics with the whales.  I, today, did some on line research to see what the status is today for Tilikum.  Nothing has changed and he leads a cramped, lethargic life that breaks my heart.   Hopefully the film will continue to educate the masses.  Everyone, from teenagers on up should see this film.  There are a lot of evils in this world but this blight on the preservation of one of our most magnificent earthly creatures is quite simply a big black spot on our civilized society.
