Answer 1

The activists are wrong. Trainers and orcas have worked together countless times with very few incidents. We should not overreact to this case, no matter how tragic.

Answer 2

The activists are right. These creatures should be free, not kept in tanks and trained to perform tricks.

Answer 3

The activists have a point. But the animals at SeaWorld live in luxury compared with creatures in the wild, and they perform a valuable service by increasing our knowledge and appreciation of orcas.
