Kayleigh Smerud Period 1-SeaWorld challenges ban limiting interaction between whale and trainer


Summary: SeaWorld challenges ban limiting interaction between whale and trainer. They believe that they are abusing the killer whales. They think they are doing wrong because the whales are not in their natural habitat and that’s wrong. They need to be in their home in the sea. "SeaWorld created this business but cannot create their own safety standard," Tryon said. The governmental agency said the company had violated the general duty clause of the Occupational Safety and Health Act, saying it exposed its workers to a known hazard in the workplace. The theme park was known until 2010 for its famous Shamu shows, which featured amazing demonstrations of trainers surfing on orcas or being catapulted high into the air. Now they are being accused of abusing them.\
Analysis:Since the release of a highly critical documentary last year, SeaWorld Entertainment has been condemned by animal rights activists distressed over the condition of its killer whales. But annual survival rates for some of the most common marine mammals, including killer whales, at SeaWorld’s three parks are near the top of all U.S. parks and aquariums.
