Shamu is the performing name for a group of whales known as “killer whales”, Orcinus orca. They are considered the top predator of the ocean whereas their food in nature mostly consist of fishes, squids, seabirds (including penguins), and marine mammals.
The performing “Shamu” was captured in December 1969 near Vancouver Island, Canada and is known to be the oldest captive orca in the world.
The Animal rights group believes that captured animals such as Shamu are desperate and forced to jump, do tricks, splash water and salute the audience and that is why they demand all time to set animals free.
