It doesn't even compare when you can see them in the wild.

4 hours?

Jesus this is what life is like for the orcas and dolphins.

Too bad the heads of Sea World weren't the ones who got stuck.

My son and I went to a place today here in Galveston called Moody Gardens and visited the Aquarium exhibit. Wayyyy over priced of course but although it was neat to see seals and sea turtles up close, it was just so saddening to see them in these small tanks. None of them looked happy except perhaps the fish that are too dumb to care. I know that this place does rehabilitation for the turtles and does set the ones that are able free back out in the Gulf. A lot of babies wash ashore but what little time we spent at the beach this vacation, we saw nothing but disgusting, stinky seaweed.

We do get to see some dolphins while on the ferry, so that's always cool

Forgot to mention they're having a Shark Week contest...

Too bad they won't keep the three Orca planes and just delete f**king Sea World (or paint Empty the Tanks, Free Morgan, etc) but you can't have everything in this life. Very happy though. Good for them!

Taking your child to see social animals perform circus tricks is getting less popular. Elephants take heart.

Outstanding protest graffiti, for Tilikum, who has been in captivity since November of 1982.

1982. What were YOU doing back then cause he has been in bathtubs ever since.

Disgraceful.

A bit more a bout Tilly for anyone interested...

Former SeaWorld trainer John Hargrove speaks out in a book called "Beneath the Surface" the truth beyond Blackfish.
