[post_page_title]Large Whale, Small Tank [/post_page_title]
As advertised on their website, Tilikum was a record-breaking 12,000 pounds when he lived at SeaWorld. Why is this so disturbing? Because the average tank size at SeaWorld that holds the performing orcas are about 350 feet long or, one seventh of a mile. The stifling size of the tank eliminates nearly half of the swimming activity an orca could complete in the wild, which is essential to their health. In comparison to the ocean, the tanks at SeaWorld were the size of kiddie’s swimming pool to Tilikum.
