Book Synopsis Death at SeaWorld by : David Kirby

Download or read book Death at SeaWorld written by David Kirby. This book was released on 2012-07-17. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author of Evidence of Harm and Animal Factory—a groundbreaking scientific thriller that exposes the dark side of SeaWorld, America's most beloved marine mammal park Death at SeaWorld centers on the battle with the multimillion-dollar marine park industry over the controversial and even lethal ramifications of keeping killer whales in captivity. Following the story of marine biologist and animal advocate at the Humane Society of the US, Naomi Rose, Kirby tells the gripping story of the two-decade fight against PR-savvy SeaWorld, which came to a head with the tragic death of trainer Dawn Brancheau in 2010. Kirby puts that horrific animal-on-human attack in context. Brancheau's death was the most publicized among several brutal attacks that have occurred at Sea World and other marine mammal theme parks. Death at SeaWorld introduces real people taking part in this debate, from former trainers turned animal rights activists to the men and women that champion SeaWorld and the captivity of whales. In section two the orcas act out. And as the story progresses and orca attacks on trainers become increasingly violent, the warnings of Naomi Rose and other scientists fall on deaf ears, only to be realized with the death of Dawn Brancheau. Finally he covers the media backlash, the eyewitnesses who come forward to challenge SeaWorld's glossy image, and the groundbreaking OSHA case that challenges the very idea of keeping killer whales in captivity and may spell the end of having trainers in the water with the ocean's top predators.

Book Synopsis SeaWorld Absolved by : Corine Sutherland

Download or read book SeaWorld Absolved written by Corine Sutherland. This book was released on 2016-01-21. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theory presented in this writing, "SeaWorld Absolved," about the death of SeaWorld trainer, Dawn Brancheau, is in contrast to the theory presented in the film, "Blackfish," which states that the reason for the attack on Mrs. Brancheau by the orca, Tilikum, was due to Tilikum's hard, long, life in captivity that turned him into a "killer" whale. Instead, the theory of this writing holds that the attack on Dawn Brancheau was due to a behavior unknown at the time of the attack, a behavior to be called "teeth baring," that orcas use as a call for their territorial privacy, a warning that they are being pushed to a point that they are demanding their privacy. It is this teeth baring behavior that Tilikum does at Mrs. Brancheau just prior to his attack on her, and Mrs. Brancheau accidentally aggravating this otherwise behavior of warning, due to her absence of knowledge about this display, into the next level of aggression for the whale, which resulted in Mrs. Brancheau's death. As this behavior was unknown until the time of this writing, then this lack of knowledge not only explains how the death of Mrs. Brancheau occurred, but this same lack of knowledge about this behavior also, necessarily, absolves SeaWorld, releases SeaWorld, from any condemnation related to this whale's attack on their trainer, Dawn Brancheau.
