No matter how you feel about captive animals being used for entertainment (and we do have mixed feelings in this household!) there are very few animal shows as spectacular and stirring as the one in Sea World's Shamu stadium. Since the sad event some months ago when a trainer was killed, it appears that the human performers no longer swim in the tank with these magnificent giants. But, the show is just as wonderful. We (wisely) avoided the "soak section" in the first sixteen rows of the stadium - preferring to keep ourselves and the camera dry so that we could share these.
