SeaWorld to end orca shows at San Diego park in 2017
SeaWorld will stop orca performances at its San Diego park starting in 2017 as visitors reportedly prefer natural behavior over tricks. CEO Joel Manby said the park will shift to a more natural orca experience, while activists call the move a marketing gimmick and push for broader captivity phaseout. The company has faced revenue declines since the 2013 Blackfish documentary.
