Orcas‚ also known as killer whales‚ have been in captivity for over fifty years. The magnificent stunts the animals are trained to do is jaw dropping. Killer whales‚ on the other hand‚ do not seem to feel the same positive regard. Infact‚ they have killed or injured more than one-hundred people during their stay in captivity.
