Why should we not support SeaWorld?
At SeaWorld, their tanks are far too shallow. The deepest tank is only 40 feet deep, not nearly deep enough to shade them from the sun. Because of this, orcas at SeaWorld have constant sunburns. These burns are hidden from the public with the help of black zinc oxide, which matches the animals’ skin.
Why is SeaWorld bad for animals?
SeaWorld often keeps dolphins, whales, and other animals trapped with incompatible tankmates. The tension leads to fights and even fatal injuries. Orcas at SeaWorld parks often break their teeth from chewing on the metal bars and concrete walls of their tanks.
Does SeaWorld really mistreat their animals?
Not a single one of these organizations have brought a charge against SeaWorld’s animal care. In fact, SeaWorld not only meets, but exceeds the standards set by them. The only “experts” who claim SeaWorld mistreats their animals come straight from the activist camps.
Is it okay to go to SeaWorld?
It’s up to you if you want to go. It’s not only whales, but a wonderful aquarium (unless you are against sea turtles and fish being behind the glass and not in the wild). You can also consider waiting to go until the orca shows stop. Animals for entertainment is a big reason people are boycotting Sea World.
Does PETA support SeaWorld?
“PETA calls on SeaWorld to stop creating more generations of animals to exploit by denying them a life in the ocean, where they could swim freely and choose their own mates.” PETA—whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to use for entertainment”—opposes speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview.
Does SeaWorld still abuse animals 2021?
The full truth of the abuse and overcrowding of orcas at sea-world will never exist due to non-disclosure agreements the victims of these attacks ratified after being presented by Sea-world, but what is known is that in its year’s sea-world has had 92 trainer-related incidents with orcas alone.
Are whales at SeaWorld mistreated?
In nature, orcas choose their own mates. But at SeaWorld, orcas are forced to breed on a regular basis. Females are artificially inseminated and forced to breed at a much younger age than they would in nature. Katina is used as a virtual breeding machine and is even being inbred with her own sons.
