Well there are many, but the main one is poor treatment of captured Orcas leading to the deaths and/or horrible injuries of multiple employees. In that respect Sea World is basically the Tiger King of Orcas. You should watch a documentary called Blackfish if you can find it. Supposedly the bad PR from it caused them to stop doing Orca shows and breeding them in captivity.

Sea World (Villiage Roadshow) has never had an Orca show. You might be mixing it up with the USA's SeaWorld. This is an Australian company with no affiliation with the USA one with a similar name.

Ah! Okay I definitely just assumed SeaWorld was the same company as Sea World. My mistake. I've done the classic "everything is American everywhere" that we US citizens often do.

No worries. Australia has a bad habit of having the same named companies that are entirely unconnected (Target, Kmart, Burger King, Seaworld)

The Burger King one is particularly silly...
