Following the death this week of Katina—an orca who was snatched from her family’s pod at the age of two and was the last wild-captured orca to survive at SeaWorld Orlando—PETA supporters armed with “SeaWorld Kills!” signs will descend on the abusement park on Saturday during Alamo Bowl “Team Day.” PETA supporters are calling on the Alamo Bowl to cut ties with SeaWorld, where dolphins and whales are denied everything that’s natural to them, and dolphins are sexually abused and sometimes drugged so they can’t fight back in its breeding program.
“Dolphins should be swimming free and diving deep in their ocean homes, not crammed into SeaWorld’s concrete tanks,” says PETA President Tracy Reiman. “PETA is calling on the Alamo Bowl to stop advertising SeaWorld and appealing to everyone to stay away from any place where whales and dolphins are imprisoned.”
Where: SeaWorld Main Entrance, 10500 SeaWorld Dr., San Antonio
When: Saturday, December 27, 3:30 p.m.
Why: More than 40 orcas and over 500 other dolphins and whales have died in SeaWorld’s barren tanks, many of them prematurely. Only two wild-captured orcas remain in other SeaWorld parks—including Corky, the longest-held captive orca in the world, who was abducted from her ocean home 56 years ago this month.
PETA—whose motto reads, in part, that “animals are not ours to use for entertainment”—points out that Every Animal Is Someone and offers free Empathy Kits for people who need a lesson in kindness. For more information, please visit PETA.org or follow PETA on X, Facebook, or Instagram.
