It centers on the battle with the multimillion-dollar marine park industry over the controversial and even lethal ramifications of keeping killer whales in captivity. Following the story of marine biologist and animal advocate at the Humane Society of the United States, Naomi Rose, the author tells the story of the two-decade fight against public relations-savvy SeaWorld, which came to a head with the tragic death of trainer Dawn Brancheau in 2010. The author puts that horrific animal-on-human attack in context. Brancheau's death was the most publicized among several brutal attacks that have occurred at SeaWorld and other marine mammal theme parks. This book introduces real people taking part in this debate, from former trainers turned animal rights activists to the men and women that champion SeaWorld and the captivity of whales. In section two the orcas act out. And as the story progresses and orca attacks on trainers become increasingly violent, the warnings of Naomi Rose and other scientists fall on deaf ears, only to be realized with the death of Dawn Brancheau. Finally the book covers the media backlash, the eyewitnesses who come forward to challenge SeaWorld's glossy image, and the groundbreaking OSHA case that challenges the very idea of keeping killer whales in captivity and may spell the end of having trainers in the water with the ocean's top predators. 650 0 $a Killer whale $x Behavior. 650 0 $a Captive marine mammals $x Behavior. 650 0 $a Killer whale $z Orlando. $z Orlando. 650 0 $a Animal attacks $z Orlando. $z Orlando. 600 10 $a Brancheau, Dawn, $d 1969-2010 $x Death and burial. 610 20 $a Sea World. 650 0 $a Aquatic animal welfare $x Moral and ethical aspects $z United States. 600 10 $a Rose, Naomi A. 650 0 $a Marine biologists $z United States $v Biography. 610 20 $a Humane Society of the United States. 941 $a 21 952 $l SFPH074 $d 20240314033826.0 952 $l PQAX094 $d 20231214040134.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20220728013517.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220706021432.0 952 $l YCPD572 $d 20220518014212.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722032822.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20200829012739.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200528060014.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006064557.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418090810.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20150926015358.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20150507015330.0 952 $l DHPB993 $d 20150409021809.0 952 $l EBPE325 $d 20150227022449.0 952 $l OPAX566 $d 20141006190745.0 $m 599.536 K58d 952 $l XWPC787 $d 20140321014030.0 952 $l YSPD232 $d 20130323010837.0 952 $l VFPB334 $d 20121211010754.0 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20121102011910.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20120915010234.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20120816012218.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F7A64932CBE611E196CF108C6AFF544E 994 $a C0 $b IW9Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
