Environmental documentary inspires California to ban concerts of orcas
Inspired by the controversial documentary River Blackfish, which explores the history of orcas in captivity and death of a handler of Seaworld, in 2010, the Democrat Richard Bloom has proposed legislation to ban the shows of orcas in California â€" specifically, at SeaWorld San Diego.The proposed law, which was known on Friday, also proposes a ban on the import and export of orcas, according to UT San Diego."There is no justification for the continued maintenance of orcas in captivity, for the sake of entertainment," explained Bloom. "These beautiful creatures are too big and clever to stay confined in small cement tanks throughout their lives," he continued.The draft law will allow all orcas withdrawals continue to be visited by people, but not for entertainment activities, defined as "all the public views with timetables and that are characterized by music or other sound effects, with choreography or training, or even unprotected contact between humans and orcas".Whenever possible, keep the document, orcas should be drawn to the sea. The proposal needs a simple majority to pass, but this should not be easy, said the UT San Diego.Since the release of the film River Blackfish, which was first seen at Sundance festival, the Sea World has already been boycotted by musicians and other artists.
