SeaWorld wants to expand its orca (also known as killer whale) tanks so that it can breed more of these magnificent animals who will then be condemned to a life of miserable confinement like the ones featured in the movie Blackfish. We need your help to stop them!
SeaWorld recently applied to the California Coastal Commission (“Commission”) for a permit to expand the tanks at its San Diego facility. ALDF and a coalition of environmental and animal protection organizations have urged the Commission to approve the application but only to give more space to the current orcas and only with a strict requirement that SeaWorld end its captive orca breeding program.
Unfortunately, we found out today that the Commission is caving to SeaWorld’s demands, allowing SeaWorld to breed as many orcas as they wish and to build a breeding tank which can hold up to 94 orcas. These incredibly intelligent and social mammals deserve better!
The Commission is voting on SeaWorld’s permit application on October 8th, 2015, and we need your help today to tell the Commission to do the right thing for orcas rather than caving to corporate influence!
Take Action!
