I wonder if anyone has bothered researching the changes, if any, that ending waterwork with the killer whales across the SeaWorld parks had for the relationship between the whales and trainers. Killer whale trainers have said that they work to be the most significant positive reinforcement and enrichment for the whales. Not just big robust toys or buckets of ice, but the daily attention and interaction with trainers. I don’t know any scientific study related to that (if you do, let me know), but I would not be surprised if ending the waterwork with the whales had some impact on that relationship. Again, I’m not saying it did, but it seems plausible.
Katina has always been so classy and professional.
