...report that they live much much longer than Orcas live in captivity... putting the lie to all of Sea World's claims. Seeing their corporate ads on TV is sickening, proof that if you have to pay to say it on TV, its probably a lie.

Their commercials are so sincere, all about how they love their Orcas... but the fact is captivity is cruel. They are wild.
