What's Killing the Killer Whales??

Mystery in Seaworld

A killer whale died unexpectedly at Seaworld. This is the third pre-matured death of a killer whale in the last four months. Marine Biologists are at the scene right now trying to figure out what has happened. What they think happened to these animals is boredom and stress of captivity which then leads to depression then tragically to death. Since 1985 24 Killer Whales have died in captivity, roughly one whale per year. Now, three have died in the past four months alone. Not a single one of them over 30 years. On average, Killer Whales live in captivity for about 30 years, in the wild they life more than 40 years. The ones that died this year weren't even middle aged. Even though this is not a current event, I thought it was a very interesting topic that I wanted to share.
