Michael Parfit and Suzanne Chisholm, experts in the whale community and the filmmakers behind the upcoming documentary “The Whale” have issued a statement in regards to the Osha trial this week in Orlando. The trial concerns the death of a SeaWorld trainer last year, and Chisholm and Parfit believe that captive orcas will eventually show atypical behavior to that of non-captive orcas. Here’s the statement: “The Osha hearings on trainer safety at SeaWorld have sparked a discussion about the effects of captivity on orcas and the dangers they pose to humans in those situations. Our film, The Whale, shows the gentleness and apparent friendliness of a wild orca toward humans. »
