Did this movie help killer whales?


In a sense it got a lot of them freed from captivity?

reply

It brought attention to the terrible living conditions of Keiko (Willy) and made it possible for Keiko to be moved, nursed back to health, and eventually rehabilitated and released into the wild. It also brought awareness to the idea that keeping orcas in captivity is wrong.

reply

I just read that orcas who live in captivity have a shorter lifespan. Why keep them captive just to entertain humans.

Because people are selfish and put their desire for 20 minutes of entertainment over the whales quality of life.
