SeaWorld
In recent years, the controversial use of killer whales in shows and performances at SeaWorld parks has been the topic of public debate. In February 2010, a captive killer whale located at the SeaWorld park in Florida killed its trainer during a show. That year, the park reported a decline in visitor numbers. Declining visitor numbers at the SeaWorld theme park in California were also reported during the same year.
