The fact that the man, who most likely weighs more than her, is standing on the baby somehow makes this even more disgusting.

Let me start off by saying I do t condone this in any way whatsoever. That being said this pic is possible fake. The fact that the man is standing on the baby without killing tipped me off to it possibly being faked. He's too heavy and would have killed that baby instantly. I copied the photo and googled it. Only 3 things popped up. A Reddit post. A Facebook post in Spanish and an Italian article with several pics of how they medically looked after them where the photo was included. The Facebook post stated the whale she is standing on was Tilikum and the article stated the whale was one called Taima. The article also question if the pic was faked. Do with that info what you will. In my mind there's a 50/50 chance it is fake. Due to the nature of the pic I'd like to think that if it is indeed real it would have way more hits than just 3. Oh. The woman in the pic is Dawn Brancheau.

There should be no places like Seaworld, and that includes zoos. All animals should be living free.

WOW. Too bad the fish don't turn around and bite them. NO MORE CAPTIVE ANIMALS other than rescues by these places. Horrible picture.

I heard about people complaining about Seaworld but I didn’t know/look into why. I didn’t know they allowed things like THIS.

This makes me want to cry.

Seaworld should be BANNED and these people deserve to be ARRESTED

Poor orcas. Sometimes I cringe of us humans.

OMG I HATE THESE PEOPLE!!!!!

Its so weird seeing the assholes in these photos smile

At least some countries started banning those practices (Canada in the articles linked), and I think some countries in Europe and Oceania did it too. Did some states of the US started banning those barbaric practices ? https://www.npr.org/2019/06/11/731570415/canada-bans-keeping-whales-and-dolphins-in-captivity

What did these animals do to you to deserve this 😔 😟

f*****s

They are smiling. While standing on sick, dying dolphins. Smart, sweet creatures. Who knows, maybe they'll smile while burning in hell.

M******RF****S

I feel bad for the baby to be holding that guy

This is so vile I wish I could give it 1000 up-votes!

I hope Karma gets them. Plus, don't go to seaworld.

Yea, big ol guy topping a tiny killer whale.

Shoot them both.

I agree particularly for THIS IMAGE with Eva the Egg! Interviewing an actual trainer from Florida's park, she claimed they were NEVER cruel to these sentient beings! She is NOT pictured here!!!

NOOOO THOSE POOR ORCAS..(I think?)😣

Animal cruelty is not acceptable😭😭😭

Disgusting.

Is that a—a baby whale?!?! THAT’S JUST DAM WRONG

Not being able to migrate causes the mental health of these beautiful animals to deteriorate.

Are those the trainers that 1 got killed and one nearly killed ? Why are they doing that to the poor animals

How can this even be allowed? and the stupid people who go to watch them are just as cruel

It's bad enough that she's doing it to the adult, but pretty much drowning the baby is one of the worst things I've ever seen. I cannot stand the idea of wild animals in captivity. I'd be fine seeing these two locked up.

This literally just made me sick to my stomach. Why is anyone standing on a living creature? But why is a man standing on a tiny baby whale!?!

this is why they attack us

One, don’t stand on the animals. Two, THAT IS LIKE A FOOT DEEP-

On a @#$%ing baby?!?!

These people need shooting
