“SeaWorld still has 18 orcas in its three US parks, and offers a variety of experiences with them. In 2016, SeaWorld announced that it would end its orca breeding program and phase out orca shows in response to the death of orca trainer Dawn Brancheau in 2010 and the 2013 documentary Blackfish.”
I thought Sea World got rid of all the Orcas after the bad publicity from the movie Blackfish.

I assume they can’t just get rid of the orcas they have, they wouldn’t do well in the wild anymore.
