I agree with their decision. Why do they need to be breeding orcas in the park? It's not like they are endangered species.

Thus is what the first para says. Pretty compelling argument I think
Americans' attitudes about orcas have changed dramatically. When the first SeaWorld Park opened in 1964, orcas, or killer whales, were not universally loved, to put it mildly. Instead, they were feared, hated and even hunted. Half a century later, orcas are among the most popular marine mammals on the planet. One reason: People came to SeaWorld and learned about orcas up close.
