Zoos are influential in preserving endangered species. Sea World is exploiting the killer whales for monetary gain. This was a very disturbing documentary. The lengths that Sea World goes to to capture baby dolphins (smaller and cheaper to transport), separating them from their mothers, was horrendous. And after the northwest coast of the US kicked them out of their area for their horrible practices, they just went to other places in other countries not so concerned with preservation.
I would never have gone to Sea World, nor any of the places where one can swim with the captured dolphins.
CNN has nothing to do with it, IMO.
