Did you know the orcas in SeaWorld are starved, have anxiety, are inbred, have teeth problems, and never get to see the ocean. SeaWorld lies to people by saying the normal life expectancy of orca whales are 25-35 years but in the wild they can live from 50 - 80 years on average and some can be up to 100! Also SeaWorld says the flopped over dorsal fins are normal and happen to male orcas in the wild as well. Well that's a lie. Flopped over dorsal fins mean the orca is unhealthy and as you can see it happens basically all the orcas in SeaWorld captivity. Flopped over dorsal fins are rare in orcas in the wild.

Well here we go:
1. They are not starved, they are fed the full amount of fish throughout the day. It's not just a reward.
2. Do you have any proof that they have anxiety? What have they talked to a therapist?
3. They have a few family trees and try to keep inbreeding from happening.
4. Teeth problems only because they break at times.
5. Yes, they were born in captivity, they can't be released. And those who were wild have passed or were too young and are now too captive to leave.
That's the wild life expectancy. Besides, Corky is nearly 50 years old and Katina is getting up there with her. Tilikum died at 36.
The flopped over dorsal fin has nothing to do with health. It is seen sometimes in the wild, look it up. Sure its rare but it can happen. Because its cartilage. There is no muscle or bone. And its like rubber, it flops from gravity and heat. But otherwise its nothing wrong.
Please get your facts straight before making an argument.
