SeaQuest Fort Worth Shutters Amid PETA Campaign
Following a long and sordid history of animal suffering and death, SeaQuest’s Fort Worth location shut its doors. The closing came after PETA submitted a complaint to local authorities over whistleblower reports it received from three former SeaQuest Fort Worth employees revealing that dozens of fish, including two sharks, perished at or during transport to the seedy facility. The complaint prompted the Fort Worth Police Department to open a criminal cruelty-to-animals investigation into the disgraced mall aquarium. This was the fourth SeaQuest location to close following pressure from PETA.
