Seaworld Trainers Still Riding Orcas Despite Legal Ruling

SeaWorld's orca tanks haven't actually been people-free since trainers were ordered out of them. A video, uploaded last October but recently picked up by Cetacean News Network, shows one trainer riding around and surfing atop the back of a 12-year-old male orca whale at SeaWorld San Diego. Wearing a protective "emergency vest," the trainer even swims around with the whale in the pool.
