Heather's Reviews > Death at SeaWorld: Shamu and the Dark Side of Killer Whales in Captivity

I went to SeaWorld as a kid, thinking I was learning about marine mammals, but I didn't learn anything about the way orcas and dolphins behave in the wild by watching them do silly tricks in captivity. After learning about all the death and exploitation, I never want to go back.

I'm not through the book yet--in fact I just started--but I can already tell that it's a factual, compelling read. And the title alone should be enough to convince everyone that SeaWorld is no fun for captive whales. I'm glad the message is getting out and I hope more people will finally take notice.
