PETA Foundation Director of Animal Law Jared Goodman released a statement in response to SeaWorld’s quarterly earnings report:

As forward-thinking companies sever ties with SeaWorld left and right—including toy giant Mattel just last month—it’s clear that SeaWorld’s now-wretched reputation makes it a risky investment. SeaWorld continues to operate at a loss of millions of dollars, while parks such as Universal Studios have reported continuing financial success. SeaWorld’s sinking ship will continue to take on water until it frees the orcas confined to tiny tanks in its parks and retires them to coastal sanctuaries.
