Oh my gosh I am obsessed with this book.
Beneath the Surfaceis the account of a former Sea World orca trainer.
It's the second week of school and I have stayed up way past my bedtime reading this every night this week. It also references an academic article, which I found and read as well. People kept asking me if the book was making me sad. No. This book makes me angry. I've only been to Sea World once, when I was little. But I feel terrible about it. I feel terrible that this is still happening, and nothing is really being done to stop or change the way of life for these orcas.
Maybe I need to channel my inner Free Willyand kidnap a whale and put him on a trailer and take him back to the ocean.... (I'm kidding. I've read enough to know these orcas can't be returned back to the ocean like that.) Sea pens!
