Kirby, David, 1960-
Death at SeaWorld : Shamu and the dark side of killer whales in captivity / David Kirby - 1st ed.
Killer whales are among the most intelligent, social, and ecologically complex animals on earth. Is keeping them in captivity for entertainment purposes justifiable? In Death at SeaWorld, award-winning investigative journalist David Kirby explored this question with a shocking dramatic narrative that goes behind the carefully managed façade of SeaWorld theme parks to tell the story of these remarkable creatures. From their mysterious lives in the wild, where orcas live in familial groups that remin intact for decades, to their shorter, solitary, and often tragic lives performing for our amusement, Kirby reveals every side of these magnificent creatures, the scientists who study them, and the people who risk their lives to train them.
