Killer whales, also known as orcas, are some of the most intelligent mammals on this planet.

Let's stop this cruel and ridiculous practice of confining these exquisite animals in tiny pools for public display and entertainment.
Why is this important?
After seeing "Blackfish" and reading "Death at Sea World" and "Beneath the Surface", and doing my own research on killer whales, I strongly believe in this mission.
