LPN Picks: Death at Sea World: Shamu and the Dark Side of Killer Whales in Captivity
This week's pick comes from the one and only Edward Larson!
David Kirby did an amazing job laying out all the events surrounding Tillikum the killer, killer whale. The book details how Tillikum was captured in Iceland, brought to Canada, and then sold off to Sea World, while he was abused every step of the way. The book is not only about Tillikum though, it also explains in great detail every other whale that Sea World has abused over the years, and details the proof of what makes Orcas such amazing, intelligent creatures that do not deserve the life of a performer in a tiny water prison.
