Our Final Thoughts

Blackfish is an emotional rollercoaster; much like the rollercoasters featured at SeaWorld but with less fun and more crying. As we watched the documentary and researched it, we realized how important this documentary was to changing the way SeaWorld treated their orcas. Even though SeaWorld still has many, many steps that need to be taken to improve the conditions of their sea creature’s habitats and care, they have changed some of their policies because of the mass media and news coverage surrounding their park. This would not have become such a prevalent issue if it weren’t for the release of Blackfish.
