Good news for my favourite park, one of the major and most understandable reasons people could boycott it and not other places with animals is now removed. Glad to see they are taking a common sense route, whatever the reasons. Hopefully people will now turn their attention to focusing on smaller and often overlooked parks where animals don't always get the care they need, and seaworld will continue to improve their facilities.
Now I hope their attendances start heading up a little to demonstrate that if they do the right thing for the animals it's not just a moral or PR but a real terms improvement for their company as well as the animals themselves.

Ouch Without getting into a cat fight I choose not to go because hate seeing animals being forced to perform , and kept in small containers it upsets me and my family and that's it. I've never even noticed dolphins at Epcot must of missed that bit .

Just read this wasn't planning to go this year but will now buy tickets to see the shows before the cancel them.
I realise it's not very PC these days to like the shows but I have fond memories of Shamu shows throughout the years. |

Whilst I maybe can see why the killer whales might be forced to perform and I'm glad they won't be in the future, I've never seen someone hit, threaten or cajole an animal at seaworld during a show.
Take the sealion show for example. They've been a little ornery, and sometimes made mistakes in the shows, but the trainer has always laughed (along with the audience) and given them a fish anyway. There was one incident with a giant condor that did NOT want to play, he screeched once and turned round in his box, the trainer shrugged and smiled, and the announcer said that he clearly wasn't in the best of moods today so they'd better give him some rest today. He got some food and was left alone thereafter. I genuinely think the animals enjoy the shows, or at the least do them without resistance or force.

This move has been on the cards for a while now. It is obviously a good thing and will hopefully allow Seaworld to continue its research and conservation work. DD wanted to visit last time, but we couldn't squeeze it in. Maybe next year?

I've been to Seaworld countless times since 1996 and always loved watching the Shamu show(still do) Even on my first visit I knew in an ideal world they would be in the ocean,I can never understand how some people used to think it was ok to visit Seaworld and then all of a sudden decided it was wrong,I do think it's hypocritical to be hauled about by a dolphin in DC then slate SW.I'll still enjoy watching Shamu,even if it's just going to be an educational show.
