Came across this article which highlights a report submitted that discusses Orca captivity and its many problems it poses to them.
Keto and Tilikum Express the Stress of Orca Captivity - PDF Version of the report.
I haven't finished reading it but I always thought it was pretty obvious that the "tanks" the Orcas are held in are very inadequate in comparison to the size of the cetaceans. I've been to the 6-Flags place in Vallejo California a few times and have also felt the same way for the Dolphins. I just... wondered why it has taken so long for such a report to come out... I mean, I'm no scientist but I can clearly see that the tanks the Orcas are held in look pathetic and that the whales probably don't like them.
