Telling everyone their animals are taken care of... Their Orcas are never caught in the wild, and live just as long in captivity...

Damn we live in some really crazy times right now... Will it ever end...?

Considering they've lost around 25.4 million after that Blackfish documentary, they're probably thinking a little damage control wouldn't hurt.

What's funny is that the Seaworld PR freakout made me aware of this documentary in the first place.

They're just trying to counteract the bad publicity from CNN's "Blackfish" documentary. They know that most TV watchers will believe most anything they see on TV.

They play it like 15 times an hour on CNN. It's kinda creepy.

It's a creepy commercial and isn't convincing. They need to try again.

When the man says, "we love them," his voice changes like he doesn't believe it.

I've only seen bits and pieces, but it's not much of a reach to imagine that keeping wild animals in captivity can result in some negative consequences. Especially animals of that size that are used to oceans, not tanks. People just typically choose to look the other way when animals are the source of their entertainment.

Even if sensationalized, Blackfish just put that on blast. Unfortunately for SeaWorld, they were the subject of it.

The year after Blackfish they beat out Comcast as the most hated company in America. I'd be running commercials too.
