<br/><br/> "Four decades ago, hunters off the coast of Washington found the perfect young killer whale specimen swimming with its mother. They fired a harpoon, hoping to attach a buoy to the bigger animal that would make trailing them easier. But the spear went in deep and the mother whale drowned. The crew made a deal for the young whale with SeaWorld. The company today [2004] says it did not know about the capture but it did calculate correctly that crowds would come to its San Diego park for the chance to see a killer whale up close. The modern marine park industry began with the killing of Shamu's mother." (SUN-SENTINEL) This article examines marine parks and discusses how they make money as some of the animals suffer and die.
