totally cruel ! they should be in the ocean free and wild, not in a pond in captivity- to stop this, people need to stop going to these type of shows! - this is my personal opinion..

Yeah. I think they've stopped whale capture altogether haven't they?
It's a shame she's been in that tank for over 40 years. However releasing her into the wild just isn't possible. She'd probably die by herself if released.
I hope that the whales now in captivity are the last ones. And these sorts of shows will go away. But it is impressive to see them performing. And how they are smart enough to work together with people. Makes you wonder how smart they really are.
agree she wouldn't survive now unfortunately - its a catch 22 situation - if everyone stopped going, which i think should, then what happens to the whales then? food care vet etc , but by going its supporting what these companies are doing, but the whales are still fed and cared for in a warped way. I hate these shows, circuses anything that makes an animal 'perform' something that is unnatural to them - The training given to these creatures is not about them being smart, its can be quite cruel and they are known to suffer mentally. However like you said hopefully these are the last to go through this totutre. People should, in my opinion, go on a whale excursion and see them perform naturally in the wild...
