Recently two of our students had a bit of a disagreement on Sea World. One thought it was a wonderful place, and the other, a life long animal advocate shared what she had been studying elsewhere about the truth of how Sea World's captive animals were treated. Both students continued the discussion which included more research about the life of whales at Sea World. The ethical treatment of all beings - including animals is very important to our students.
Several petitions have been launched on the social activism platform www.Change.org to request that prominent musicians including Willie Nelsen, and Heart, cancel their upcoming shows at Sea World, which they did after seeing the Sundance Film Black Fish. Another Change.org petition is hoping to gain enough momentum to free the beautiful Tilikum. National Geographic reports that children are also boycotting Sea World.
Here's the YouTube preview for the film Blackfish - it is rated PG 13.
