SeaWorld Faces Criticism After Video Release Shows Dolphin Hurt, Bleeding At Park [View all]
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is firing more criticism at SeaWorld after video was uncovered showing a hurt and bleeding dolphin at the park's Texas location, just days after another recording showed a pilot whale stuck on the ledge of a pool with no immediate help.
PETA published the video of the hurt dolphin on its website Monday. In the footage, a dolphin can be seen lying injured and bleeding on the concrete beside a pool at the SeaWorld in San Antonio, Texas.
PETA media coordinator David Perle told The Huffington Post that a whistleblower gave the video to the organization.
The incident happened while a tour group was feeding the dolphins before the park opened to the public, PETA said in a statement. The dolphin was hurt after it crashed into another dolphin during a trick and was thrown from the tank. Passersby can be seen in the video looking at the injured sea creature as they walked past. One can be heard saying "Aw, poor guy," as the dolphin lay moaning on the ground.
