As a trainer, I feel that Sea world is lying to us. They have told us that it is safe for us to get in the water with these whales and that any incidents are rare and most often the trainer's fault. This is simply not true. They are dangerous animals and thankfully other trainers are not allowed in the water with the whales anymore. We trainers just want to know the truth about the whales that we spend all of our days with and take care of. It is unethical for management to keep the truth away from the trainers and have them get into a life threatening situation. Trainers have a passion for the whales. We develop a bond with these animals and want to keep them healthy. If we knew how they were acquired by Sea World, or how our treatment of them actually takes years off of their lives, I guarantee that many of my colleagues would quit. We want good treatment for both us and the whales, and we want Sea World to be honest and respectful with its employees.
