The point I am trying to make is in no world is it feasible for them to do it. I don’t personally care about their bottom line but it’s stupid to assume they are going to do something that is going to lose them a ton of money right now when they are already losing it.

I’m not saying the trainers can’t find other jobs,…

“Instead, a woman who lived with the pair found them, and both were hospitalized.”

There was another woman living with them while this happened? What the fuck?

Because they’ve only ever lived in captivity, in a smallish tank, under a very strict and specific schedule. Put them out in the middle of the ocean having never been there and it will be a quick, miserable death for them.

“Unfeasible”. Meaning unfeasible for them. Like yeah you can shit on them all you want for putting them in this position to begin with, but it’s expensive to house them and there are dozens of jobs set up around the shows and the income that comes from them. They’re already hurting for money (not that I especially…

They can’t just release them into the wild. And it’s unfeasible and probably worse to just let them sit in a tank. They aren’t breeding any new orcas, so basically they are doing this while these last captive ones are around.
