BLACKFISH: Your Calls & Thoughts with Christopher Reburn

Published: June 10, 2014, 4 p.m.

b"In January 2014 I did a show about Blackfish, the eye-opening documentary that uncovered and exposed SeaWorld for\\xa0decades of animal abuse, neglect and kidnapping baby orca whales from their beloved families in the world's oceans. This was a very powerful 'first\\xa0show of the year' that touched so many of you.\\xa0\\n\\n\\nSince it's release and continued airings on CNN, Blackfish\\xa0has been causing major\\xa0waves at SeaWorld, including rapid declines in attendance and ticket sales and collective debates as to whether or not orca's belong in captivity.\\xa0Millions of people from around the world have got onboard The Blackfish Effect, and continue to spread the world about the documentary in hopes of one day shutting\\xa0down SeaWorld and releasing the orca's back into their natural environment.\\n\\n\\nFormer SeaWorld trainer Samantha Berg (who was featured in the Blackfish movie)\\xa0talks with us about her thoughts on Blackfish, SeaWorld and what will likely be the future for the beloved Tilikum. Samantha was most generous with her time and spent nearly 20 minutes with us when we were only scheduled for 3-5 minutes! Thanks again Samantha! For a remainder of the show, we'll opened up the phone lines to hear from you, and your thoughts about Blackfish & SeaWorld. Oh yes, and my Mother makes an appearance....\\n\\nOfficial Website http://www.blackfishmovie.com\\n\\nVisit Blackfish's Facebook page at\\xa0https://www.facebook.com/BlackfishFilm\\n\\nBuy Blackfish on Amazon at\\xa0http://www.amazon.com/Blackfish-Tilikum/dp/B00EL6AAEU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1401100569\\n\\nBlackfish is also on Netflix and airs regularly on CNN.
