In marine parks and aquariums, dolphins and other sea animals routinely die prematurely from stress and other captivity-related causes, and SeaWorld has an abysmal record. SeaWorld continues to jeopardize the safety of humans and animals alike despite numerous tragedies—including the deaths of many orcas and the death of a trainer who was seized by a frustrated orca.The only thing that people learn from visiting a SeaWorld theme park is how miserable life is for the animals confined there. Marine parks teach all the wrong lessons: that it is acceptable to imprison animals; to deprive them of freedom of movement and forbid them the chance to establish their natural territory. Efforts should be made to free these imprisoned animals. (Information provided by PETA, SeaWorld of Hurt Campaign)
