PETA Statement, re: SeaWorld stock price plummets

For Immediate Release:
August 13, 2014

Anyone who cares about marine life and wants orcas and dolphins to live free with their pods is cheering the fact that SeaWorld’s stock is tanking. At this rate, PETA—which bought stock in the company in order to bring forward a resolution next year—will soon find itself a majority shareholder. SeaWorld would be wise to seize the moment and announce that it will reinvent itself by releasing the captive orcas in its abusement parks to coastal sanctuaries. There, visitors could pay to watch these intelligent, social, and highly complex animals finally be able to swim in wide-open spaces rather than in tanks at SeaWorld that are, to orcas, the size of a bathtub.

“Almost all of us grew up eating meat, wearing leather, and going to circuses and zoos. We never considered the impact of these actions on the animals involved. For whatever reason, you are now asking the question: Why should animals have rights?”

— Ingrid Newkirk, PETA Founder and co-author of Animalkind
