As Ron White says, some things are called exactly what they are.

PETA should focus on the slant eyed Jap' bastard mofos who still believe it's OK to hunt whales and say it's for research.

All the fish he can eat, plus the occasional trainer? It's like SNAP for killer whales, errr other than the fact they have to work for it

I've heard about this documentary and heard it's outstanding. Because it's kind of an "indie" film, it was almost impossible to find a theater showcasing it. I found one out here in SoCal and wanted to go to see it, but never found the time to do so. Figured I would cross my fingers and hope that Netflix picks it up and I could catch it there.

Anyone know where I can catch it? I see Gblock provided the official YouTube trailer. Gblock... where'd you see it?

On the one hand... I realize places like Sea World are "wrong," but on the other hand, I "enjoy" places like Sea World and seeing Shamu.

I was at SeaWorld last weekend. Kind of a boring show since the trainers don't get in the water anymore with the whales, still crazy how well trained they are, but not quite as exciting.

Yeah, they don't get in the water anymore with the whales. They still do with the dolphins and everything, but ever since that trainer was killed however many years ago it was, they stopped doing that. We went to Sea World last year and the show was cool and all, but no one in the water with the whales.

NASCAR still kills people regularly filling the niche "gotta see me some death today" entertainment market.

It may be a reason Anheuser-Busch sold Sea World..... Bad publicity!!! But I have to believe that Sea World had to know what happened and tried to hide the facts. I recorded Blackfish (had to rewind to the beginning) and still haven't watched the whole recording. I'd love to see 60 Minutes interview some of the "upper level management" or put them in the tank with TILIKUM (sp)!!! Its sad to see people who devoted a lot of time and care to care for these animals be hurt or killed because of poor info!!!

Sea World, your move!!!! If you can't do any better, get out of the way.... Listen to your trainers... Seriously doubt if we will EVER be back to Sea World if health and safety conditions aren't changed for the people who work with the animals. (plus the animals they take care of).

By the way, I'm NOT a PETA fan... Just hate poor management that causes deaths.

Holy Cow ill bet the Rednecks are figuring on a banner year of multiple deaths anytime soon now just by the law of averages! What's the O/U for the 2014 season?

Probably equal or less than the same amount of drunk driving convictions you have in 2014.
