Is This Whale Trying To Commit Suicide? Yes? How Is Sea World Still Open?

This orca named Morgan was filmed lying motionless for more than ten minutes  at Loro Parque in Spain’s Canary Islands.  Onlookers were worried that the animal was trying to ‘commit suicide’.
The video, which was taken at Loro Parque in Spain’s Canary Islands, has attracted a massively negative reaction online with renewed calls for the killer whales to be released back into the wild.
Morgan – who is being held captive at Loro Parque with five other orcas owned by SeaWorld – can be seen lying next to her tank as tourists leave the stadium.

Most of us have seen the 2013 documentary Blackfish, right? It amazes me that SeaWorld is still breathing after the release of that movie. As stated in the film, if a killer whale is beached for too long, the weight of their own body can crush their internal organs and muscles. Maybe most disturbingly, footage of Morgan shot just weeks earlier appeared to show her repeatedly banging her head against a metal gate in an effort to escape.
Honestly, f*ck SeaWorld, man.
