BLACKFISH Jeffrey Ventre MD I live in Ellensburg, WA, USA. Twitter: @Jeffrey_Ventre
I am a medical doctor / specialist in the field of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation. I treat patients with conditions ranging from low back pain to stokes, to amputees, to brain injuries. Basically, I get people as functional as possible.
The emotions that I got after watching “Blackfish”, cannot be described in words. You`ll have to watch and see for yourself! You might be amazed with the compassion you`ll discover within your spirit. It is a rare honor and privilege to interview Jeffrey Ventre, an insider of this documentary. I am forever grateful to the “Blackfish” team for making a difference, for caring and being such an amazing inspiration. Catalina Magee, the Editor-in-Chief

Things are not what they appear. The whales are not smiling; they die young, and shouldn’t be performing circus stunts for food. Their brains are 4 times larger than ours and their families are their homes. It is completely unnatural for them to be living at tourist destinations in Orlando, San Diego, and San Antonio. This has even led to two animals, Kanduke & Taku, being bitten by mosquitoes and dying in captivity. “Duke” died in the summer of 1990 by St. Louis Virus encephalitis, and Taku in 2007 by West Nile Virus. This does not happen in nature. The whales need your help. A better way to do that is to take science courses in college. Major in zoology, oceanography, marine biology, and help these animals in nature. You’re not dealing with the real thing when they are in captivity. Another way, you can follow in Gabriela’s footsteps and make a documentary film, or follow in Dr. Naomi Rose’s footsteps and write your PhD dissertation on them.“ Jeffrey Ventre
