As many know in 2013 documentary called "Blackish" was released to show the public how the people at Sea World treat their animals. People were shocked to find out the cruel ways in which the trainers at sea world really treat the creatures they train. In time following groups of people began to boycott Sea World and their publicity took a turn for the worst. This poor publicity had a massive economic effect on the park as a whole and they finally decided to fix it.
According to an article in Time's Magazine, in response to everything that has happened to Sea World they have decided to no longer have live whale shows in the future. Instead, starting in 2017, Sea World is creating a "more natural setting" for the Orcas. Sea World's CEO discusses the effect the film had on Sea World's attendance and how their new attraction will provide a more natural looking and feeling environment for both the animals and visitors of the park.
