If SeaWorld really believed that they needed to capture these animals in order to study them up close in captivity then they wouldn't need to commercialise the study into some Disney-esque circus. Even in zoos animals aren't force to learn tricks to impress the posting visitors. SeaWorld is a travesty. Or they could just be honest, and about that they are just a Disney-Sea-Circus and the science is just an excuse to keep the dollars rolling in. No more of these animals should be born into captivity, and if possible, we should at least try to release as many of them as possible back into the wild, possibly as their own pod.
