Adding to a chorus of critics of SeaWorld's killer whale shows, a U.S. congressman from Southern California has announced legislation to phase out the display of orcas for entertainment.

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank) said Friday that he plans to introduce a bill to prohibit the breeding of captive orcas, end the capture of wild orcas and stop the import and export of the killer whales.

The bill, if approved, would put an end to shows across the country featuring the marine mammals once the existing whales in captivity die.

The evidence is very strong that the psychological and physical harm done to these magnificent animals far outweighs any benefits reaped from their display. - Rep. Adam Schiff
