^^ Doug Ward? You’re a wanker.

I have no idea who is funding the PETA takeover of the horrible SeaSlaveWorld, but good on them.

Hey, I know this is a nerd comment, but you spelled Hayden’s last name wrong. It’s Panettiere. (The only reason I care is because if you spell celebrities’ names right, more people might find this site through search engines!)

I think giving the park a total makeover with an eye to the animals creature comforts wouldn’t be the worst thing that PETA has ever done.

Whoops thought you were talking to me for a minutes I also forgot to say that I think it is possible (as they say) to eventually prepare some of them for the wild. It can happen. Better than performing dumb tricks for dumb humans. If I had kids I wouldn’t want them seeing that. What kind of idea does that give children? not a very good one!

Also I’m not surprised an alcohol company owns the dirty place. They were bought out by some foreign company too right? (Isn’t anything American owned these days IN America.. sigh)

Ok done venting. As a child my parents did take me out on little boats to do whale watching. We’d just sit there with no motor and be very quiet and respectable to the animals. I’ve even seen some great ones from shore. My best memories by far.

Erin, my dear, marine parks are nothing more than underwater circuses. How do they promote conservation? Just tell me how penning animals with a range of hundreds of miles in tiny little tanks of chlorinated water and making them do tricks promotes conservation.

I too live in the bOrlando area (well 45 mins away at the beach) my name is also Erin and my initials also EF (strange coincidence

The park PETA would like to buy is the San Diego park (sadly) not Orlando.

In the articles I’ve read it appears they’re pushing more the sanctuary side which I think is great. They wouldn’t force the animals to perform dumb human tricks and they might even make the facilities more natural _ wow what a concept!

I have never, in my life, stepped one foot into any Sea World – but I definitely would if Peta bought it. And I think the virtual reality shows could be cool so long as that wasn’t “the whole park” Could be amazing..

I only wish it were the bOrelando park they were buying… Not SD.
