During a live show at Blue Horizon marine park, beloved orca Neptune shocked the audience by suddenly attacking its trainer mid-performance. What started as a routine display quickly turned into a terrifying scene as the crowd watched in horror and staff scrambled to help.
This incident isn’t unique. Similar attacks by captive orcas have happened around the world, raising serious concerns about the safety of these shows and the impact of captivity on the animals’ mental health.
Neptune’s outburst has reignited debates about whether it’s ethical—or safe—to keep orcas in captivity for entertainment.
