28. What for?

Aug 2015

To give Sea World a hard time? What we need to do is stop going there until they release their whales and dolphins. A federal inspection will not accomplish anything. The idea of keeping whales and dolphins captive and teaching them tricks is no longer acceptable, but it will require a public rebellion to convince Sea World of that. They will give up when they start losing money. Conversely, they will never give up as long as the public is willing to pay money to see the whales jump through hoops.
