Don't Let SeaWorld Expand Its Orca Tanks!

SeaWorld attendance has declined significantly since the 2013 documentary "Blackfish" exposed the park's mistreatment of an resulting violent behavior of their captive orcas. To save face, SeaWorld plans to increase the size of their killer whale tanks, and the government currently stands behind them.

Increasing the size of tanks won't give orcas more space in the long-term, though. SeaWorld plans to continue their breeding program, meaning that more orcas will be born into captivity and forced to live an unnatural existence performing in the park.

On October 8, the California Coastal Commission will vote on whether to grant SeaWorld a permit to expand their tanks. Please sign the petition to urge them to vote NO on larger tanks at SeaWorld!

We, the undersigned, are concerned with your plans to support SeaWorld's wish to expand their orca tanks.

Increasing the size of tanks might seem like a compassionate idea, but it won't give orcas more space in the long-term. SeaWorld plans to continue their breeding program, meaning that more orcas will be born into captivity and forced to live an unnatural existence performing in the park.

We respectfully urge you to vote NO on larger tanks at SeaWorld. Thank you for taking the time to read and consider our petition.
