SeaWorld to phase out theatrical Orca whale shows

SeaWorld announced plans on Monday (9 November) to phase out the signature orca whale show at its San Diego park next year, after long-running criticism of its treatment of the captive marine mammals. The move, which follows a vote by the California Coastal Commission last month barring the park from continuing to breed killer whales, or orcas, in captivity, was announced during a webcast company presentation to investors and the media.

California: SeaWorld clashes with Peta as Orca tanks approved

Animal rights activists and Sea World supporters faced off at the California Coastal Commission meeting on 8 October in Long Beach, California, where the Commission decided to allow SeaWorld San Diego to expand its killer whale tanks. The California Coastal Commission approved the $100m (£65.07m) expansion of the tanks, but it banned breeding of the captive orcas that would live in them. Oct 9, 2015
