Hell Froze Over

Lucky you. When I was 5 years old I'm told I would stand by the road naked and wave at cars that passed by because I was a retarded child.

I do that now and i'm 50 !

I would have nothing to do with Sea World or any company connected to them. http://blackfishmovie.com/

Orca's, seals, sea Lions, walruses, Beluga's,  or Dolphins are not endangered and Sea World has no viable scientific reason to keep them in, what is, terrible conditions that drive them Bat toejame. These are animals that roam a hundred miles a day being kept in pretty much a bath tub all for the noble purpose of making Sea World inc. "money". These, most of all the Orca's, are extremely intelligent animals being tortured for profit.

But...Im glad for you that your job situation has improved and you got a vacation. I'd spend my hard earned money elsewhere however. The $$ you gave sea world doesnt go to the welfare of the species it goes to stock holders. By contrast Hunters and fisherman give countless millions to animal welfare and habitat thru licenses and the Pittman tax. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittman%E2%80%93Robertson_Federal_Aid_in_Wildlife_Restoration_Act

I was just getting ready to post the same thing.  I won't give a dime to Seaworld after watching Blackfish.  I couldn't believe how deceitful the company was - even to their own employees resulting in deaths. 


I encourage everyone to watch Blackfish


Edit - sorry to tramp on your post MrKrabs.

I feel sorry for you guys. I wouldn't dream skipping my annual one month trip to southern beaches.

The wife and I have spent a few days in Mallorca the past two years; a few days in Cinque Terre three out of the last five years.  That's just waterfront.  We have made the most of our time in Europe - we feel we are very lucky as Americans to have been able to see all that we have seen.

Don't you guys have regular law based vacations?

We can't even get a decent agreement on the fact everyone should have health care, god forbid companies have to provide time off too....

I find it funny that we give millions of dollars for animal welfare while we seek to kill them .  not against hunting or fishing just like saying I pay my workers crap but  I give millions to the homeless shelters .

I love fishing, I just dont pretend I do it for the welfare of the fish I hooked and gonna eat that afternoon.  no reason to argue just a difference of opinion.

I've watched the documentary. While I agree there isn't a good reason to keep Orcas,or Killer Whales as they are also know, in captivity, I don't have a whole lot of sympathy for the handlers. If they didn't realize swimming in a bathtub with an Orca was risky...you know what they say there's a sucker born every minute. I just wonder if they would have taken the job if they had been asked to handle venomous snakes.

This. I don't see how anyone could support Sea World after watching Blackfish. Handlers getting killed/injured is Darwin at work. But the animals are not willing participants.
