These Are The Last Orcas To Ever Live In SeaWorld Tanks

UPDATE 3/17/2016: SeaWorld has announced it will no longer breed orcas. Read more here.

SeaWorld announced Thursday that it will never again breed another orca.

The end of this era at SeaWorld parks is a major victory for animal advocates seeking an end to keeping intelligent marine animals captive. And SeaWorld's executive decision comes after years of controversy, since the 2013 film "Blackfish" allowed former employees to speak out against how orcas were being treated, and public outcry followed.

"This is a first, massive step forward toward a more humane future for SeaWorld," Dr. Naomi Rose, marine mammal scientist at the Animal Welfare Institute, said in the press release. "I welcome these commitments from Joel Manby. He has given SeaWorld a new lease on life."

Sadly, the orcas still in tanks at SeaWorld - well, their lives have pretty much stayed the same. Here is every single orca still in a SeaWorld tank.
