"Imagine the world you live in, the space you suck, the sudden freedom you play is robbed from you." (Free Willie) A killer whale is the biggest member of a dolphin family. Killer whale is a very curious animal and likes to jump over the sky. These social animals live in the sheath and live together. They are very family oriented, sleep together in a narrow circle, and can breathe synchronously.

Captive orcaes may develop physical lesions, such as crushed dorsal findings in 80-90% of captive men. The captured environment is very similar to their wild habitats, and the social group with killer whales is not familiar with wildlife. Critics claim that artificial life is under pressure with small tanks, wrong social groups and chemically modified water. A cradle believes that this is the result of stress observing that captured orcases themselves take aggressive actions against other orca or humans
