I expected this much sooner, but SNL finally did it. It's around the 1:31 mark.

Remember the family pet that PETA kidnapped and killed?

SeaWorld just posted this article.

Should we just start arresting members of PETA at this point? Cause in my opinion this crap has gone on long enough
Maybe it's because I already agree with SeaWorld's stance, though I can't help but read those posts in an immature voice. I hope other people who need other convincing read it another way.
That said, PETA wants to start with the best and most highly respected in zoos and aquariums. Their ads in general bother me (such as disposed cat carcasses in a dumpster), but I don't want to imagine what their anti SeaWorld propaganda looks like.

PETA does not care about animals, they care about marketing.
All I want to ask is that is it a ad for or against SeaWorld.( You dont have to answer if you dont want to though)
Also, I got a free magnet for being a part of SeaWorlds "Truth Team", which I think is pretty cool, and lets me know SeaWorld truly values our support.

It was just a normal "pet a ray; fly like a ray" commercial.
Either CNN values money more than principles, or they attacked SeaWorld for the publicity and never cared about the orcas, or both.

There is a person behind me in line with a "Free Tilly, Boycott SeaWorld" shirt on. I'm tempted to ask them if they were aware of the success of Keiko...
^That reminds me, at the beginning of the year in my english class, we had to do one of those trite "all about me" type powerpoint presentations in front of the class (FFS, we're in high school). This one particular girl in my class, who isn't the brightest, stood up there and proudly proclaimed to the class that "SeaWorld is an abomination." I just about lost it trying to suppress my laughter.
I so want to give this person a high five right now.

Hopefully this ends better then Keiko did.

The Virginia Marine Science Museum tried something similar a few years ago (2001ish?). PETA managed to shut it down.
They wanted to create a whole dolphin center, dedicated to rescue and medicine. Rhetoric and political power plays prevailed.
