I do see Wellington's point. Obviously parts of Black Fish were manipulated, and faked, but the question of Sea World's honesty is still a valid one. However, I still believe in innocent until proven guilty. Sure, marine parks such as Sea World do have dark pasts, and when they screw up I don't blame them for sweeping stuff under the rug. I think the good Sea World has done still out weighs the bad, and Black Fish hasn't done much good. If anything, that program only made things worse by widening the divide.
There's a group out there that sees any thing with walls as a prison. Many animal activists fall in to this group. When it comes to animals, its very easy to play on someone's emotions.
Also @Tom . The reason ( I think) "no one seems to want to do anything about it" is because of sensationalism. Like I said above about playing on people's emotions. There's nothing sensational about animals NOT suffering. You'd have to go in a round-about way which removes the shock factor. Essentially "whale's aren't suffering, but black fish did x,y,and z, only to cause this effect. Starts to sound like a conspiracy theory. Most people lose interest at this point, and many arrive at the question @wellington asked. Sometimes its hard to know who to listen to and they just give up.
