Please no. Blackfish woefully exaggerates the how "bad" the conditions the animals are kept in are. Most REPUTABLE sealife parks (Seaworld and the like) actually take very good care of them. Orcas and dolphins in them live as long or longer than in the wild, and have plenty of room to live in. Its the ones like the park in Mexico (that the orca from Free Willy was in) that give them a bad rep. The media loves to spin things for scandal and outrage, so of course that is the stuff people hear about. But if you've ever been to one, it is pretty obvious they are well cared for and happy.
