Every year, millions of visitors flock to SeaWorld to see incredible performances by dolphins and killer whales. But what looks like harmless family fun on the surface has a dark side. Now, one brave ex-trainer is exposing the reality of being repeatedly and systematically splashed. Former trainer Jeff Rodriguez has gone public with his story in the hopes that he can stop SeaWorlds cycle of exploitation. They prey on young people who have dreams of working with animals, Jeff said. At first, its just a light mist, then its Shamu splashing these huge waves right into your face. They keep upping it, and before you know it, you are getting splashed very hard. Jeff had to endure large, wet splashessometimes right in his eyeson a daily basis for four years. Horrifying. The splashing might seem fun from the safety of the bleachers, but imagine that big splash blasting right into your face, said Jeff. For the audience, its just a few quick splashes and then they head back to their hotels, but for us, we get wetlike, real wet. Some days, were in the water with these animals for eight or nine hours, Jeff added. Were getting splashed constantly. When it comes to where the blame lies for what he went through, Jeff says the answer is clear. I dont blame the orcas, Jeff said. I blame SeaWorld. They knew how wet we were all going to get. They had to know. While Jeff left his job at SeaWorld over six years ago, he says that his life is now plagued with the constant fear of being splashed. But hes not taking it lying down. Jeff hopes to help protect others by sharing his story. You can help too! Share Jeffs story and let people know what really happens at SeaWorld.
