Ep. 71: Orcas Part 3: Captivity and Attack Stories

We're back... This week we finish off our series on orcas by looking at them in captivity.  We learn about Shamu as well as a few other famous individual orcas.  Then we look into how orcas are captured and the long lasting mental stresses affect them.  We also look into some orca attack stories that have happened in captivity and talk about the famous orca, Tilikum.  Tilikum was the subject of the 2013 documentary, Blackfish.  Tilikum is responsible for the deaths of three people, which we go over.  We also learn a bit about SeaWorld.  Orcas are some of the most interesting animals we have covered on the show.    If you would like to give a donation you can on PayPal at either [email protected] or simply forceofnaturepod On Venmo is my personal account at Matthew-Hamilton-51  We would appreciate any donations very much and we will give shout outs to anyone that does.
