John Hall Sea World Clip

Disgraceful. Boycott Sea World and all national/state and private aquariums holding large mammals and other large marine species. It's like keeping eagles in cages.

@richorcaonyt apart from going and chosing which dolphins they want... totally nothing. They just decide which don't die.

[CallODoom]

@richorcaonyt Oh yes it does still happen.

Look up 'The cove'

1) Representatives from the captive display and scientific research communities, who

vehemently opposed hearings leading up to the passage of the Marine Mammal

Protection Act, were, ironically, later appointed to the Scientific Advisory Committee

of the Marine Mammal Commission. In 1973, just after the Marine Mammal

Protection Act was enacted into law, National Marine Fisheries Service approved,

without holding a public hearing, an "economic hardship" permit.

2) This permit allowed

Sea World to capture about 80 marine mammmals to stock its new park in Orlando,

Florida. The speed of the permit authorisation was largely due to to the efforts of Sea

World's able lobbyist, George Steele. Steele also represented the American Tunaboat

Association (Regenstein, 1975). To this day, representatives and lobbyists of the

captive industry continue to assault, influence, and challenge further regulations

effecting captive marine mammals. -Jerye Mooney
