ANOTHER DEATH IN CAPTIVITY #CaptivityKills #DontBuyATicket #BoycottSeaworld After young #Ula died in Loro Parque I'm still in shock What we need is to have ORCAS classified as WHALES because of their size. We don't keep whales in Tanks, do we? This must end Join us and fight for Dolphins and Orcas can retire i an ocean sanctuary From @worldanimalnews_ WAN is heartbroken to report that Amaya, a 6-year-old orca, has suddenly passed away at @seaworldsandiego. 💔🐋 The news comes after #Seaworld placed 10 orcas in the same tank, which may have led to increased stress and aggression, resulting in Amaya’s death. According to a statement from @seaworldsandiego, Amaya began showing signs of illness on Wednesday, prompting animal care specialists to treat her. Sadly, her condition worsened, and Amaya passed away on Thursday. Orcas can live up to 80-90 years old in the wild and swim up to 40 miles per day. They don’t belong in captivity. 🚫🐋 #EmptyTheTanks #ThanksButNoTanks 🌍👉@worldanimalnews_ @peace_4animals #worldanimalnews (at Malmö, Sweden) https://www.instagram.com/p/CS7cmV3Kps4/?utm_medium=tumblr

Eric Balfour Tells SeaWorld ‘No Tanks’

SeaWorld? No tanks. That’s the message actor Eric Balfour is sharing with fans in his first-ever PETA campaign, in which he’s speaking up for dolphins and whales imprisoned at SeaWorld.

Best known for his roles in the popular television series Six Feet Under and 24, Balfour is also a devoted animal advocate. And as if we couldn’t love him any more for supporting marine mammals, he’s also a proud #RescueDad to adopted dog Coconut, who makes frequent cameos on his Instagram feed and helps him promote #AdoptDontShop.

In a behind-the-scenes interview with PETA, Balfour calls out people who visit SeaWorld for playing a role in the torture that takes place at these abusement parks: “When you go to SeaWorld, when you go to one of these theme parks, it isn’t passive. You’re contributing to that animal’s torture. It is as cruel as you can imagine.”

When Balfour says “torture,” he’s not exaggerating. SeaWorld continues to cram 140 dolphins into just seven tanks, breeding them—sometimes forcibly after they’ve been drugged—and abusing them by allowing trainers to ride on their backs and use their faces as surfboards in circus-style shows. Some dolphins have been photographed with open wounds and scars on their faces, but SeaWorld continues to force them to perform these ridiculous, demeaning tricks.

Fans can frequently find him posting heartwarming #DadLife photos with his 1-year-old son, Oliver. As a devoted parent, Balfour knows the best thing for children is to show them how animals live in their natural environments—not behind the glass walls of a tank. “We want our kids to love and enjoy and embrace the oceans and all of the amazing creatures that are in it,” Balfour says. “Let ’em just see these incredible creatures in their natural habitat.” Full Article » http://peta.vg/2lll

How did SeaWorld generate more income off of Free Willy when the entire premise of the movie is releasing the whales...

Late in Inktober, but for Whale, everyone thinks killer whales are whales when they’re actually dolphins.
