    Whales in captivity are hurting others as well as themselves; for example, they have been seen and recorded performing acts of self-harming, smacking their heads against the sides of the pool repeatedly. Whales in captivity swim in trance-like states, forced to perform tricks for food, working endlessly for the pure entertainment of humans.

Blackfish not only presents this emotional story, but also illustrates that some of these whales who grow up in strained environments, (such as Tilikum) even resort to killing those it interacts with.
