moracco, he comes out during the show with a dress on as dorky in the alter ego dorothy in a dress with the sea lion, the coward sea lion walking along with a basket. i thought i will never ever do that, you know. two months later, hi, i m dorky. walking out on stage with the sea lion. i was overwhelmed and i was so excited. i mean, just seeing a killer whale is breathtaking. i was just in awe. it s shocking to see how large they are and how beautiful they are. being, you know, in the presence of the killer whales was just inspiring and amazing and i remember seeing them for the first time, not just being able to believe how huge they were.
works sequences went off great. i was really excited just to be capturing this because it was kind of turning out to be a great show. a show that s kind of complete, it doesn t it probably only only happens a few times a week. at the very end of the show, liz was working tilikum and apparently tilikum lunged out of the water at her. and i had captured tilikum coming out of the water kind of turning sideways and appeared to me to try to grab liz, and at that moment, the tape became unusable. i was just kind of basically instructed to get rid of the tape. wanting to kind of preserve the tape, i actually used the editing equipment and snipped out that little half second or second when he did that and stitched it back together so it just kind of looked like a glitch in the tape. and i m like look at this, and it s like, no, this is no longer
trainers who a lot of them had never been around orcas before. nothing was ready. the venue wasn t ready. it wasn t ready for the orcas. it wasn t ready for a show. the owner of the park didn t want to lose revenue by shutting down the pools and repairing them. so for three years the animals ate the pools and they had problems with their teeth and stomachs. so that s why the animals are enduring the endoscope procedures. those are still seaworld s animals, and they are responsible for those animals. loro parque doesn t have a good reputation. people that work in the business know the reputation of places. and loro parque didn t have a good reputation. they didn t spend the same amount of time as the seaworld
gosh, do i love coming out here every day and having the audience just love what we re doing with the animals. how do i make this an million as beautiful as they are, having people walk away loving this animal. and they re touched and moved. and i feel like i made a difference to them. i left in january of 2010, a month before dawn passed away. she was, like, a safety guru. i mean, she was always double checking and making sure that everyone was doing the right thing. so i remember she would record every show that she did and she would watch it and critique herself. and she was constantly trying to be better. when i found out it was dawn, i was shocked. that could have been me. i could have been the spotter. what if i was there and i could have saved her?
four young orcas to a park off the west coast of africa with trainers who a lot of them had never been around orcas before. nothing was ready. the venue wasn t ready. it wasn t ready for the orcas. it wasn t ready for a show. the owner didn t want to lose revenue by shutting down the pools and repairing them. so for three years the animals ate the pools and they had problems with their teeth and stomachs. this is why they re in endoscope procedures. those are still seaworld s animals, and they are responsible for those animals. what if a park doesn t have a good reputation? people that work in the business know the reputations of place.
