Anyone with common sense knows that SeaWorld is a dreadful place. It’s a place where majestic, intelligent orcas—who are meant to swim 100 miles a day in the ocean—are imprisoned in tiny tanks where they can only swim in small circles. Ignoring the abuse has become both unpopular and outdated. With help from the widespread success of Blackfish, many celebrities have publicly voiced their opinion against SeaWorld and taken a stand for captive orcas.
Aaron Paul: In the middle of the epic final season of Breaking Bad, the man who brought Jesse Pinkman to life took the time to blast SeaWorld.
Dear @SeaWorld, You are terrible. Sincerely, Everyone who actually cares about living creatures. Release your slaves.

Jessica Biel: The gorgeous actor demanded respect for animals.
Just watched @blackfishmovie & am appalled. Wild animals should be respected not imprisoned. Hope this movie inspires change. #Blackfish

And let’s not forget these gems from 2013 after the initial release of Blackfish and the beginning of SeaWorld’s continuing demise:
Russell Brand: He’s a comedian, an activist, a movie reviewer—and a SeaWorld hater.
Do watch "Black Fish". Don't go to SeaWorld, a stain upon humanity posing as entertainment. #liftedfromanearlyreviewofmine
