Hayden Panettiere has joined celebs like Matt Damon and Bob Barker in condemning SeaWorld.
The actress/activist spoke to The Dish Rag about the unfortunate death of a SeaWorld trainer caused by Tilikum, a male Orca who has been in captivity for almost three decades.
“Honestly, it’s horrible what happened,” she says. “Three deaths by the same whale, by an animal that should be not be in captivity in the first place.
“Have you ever seen a parrot pullout it’s feathers? It’s from
depression. How do you put an interactive, social animal, one of the
smartest
animals in the world… and you’re going to stick them in a tub and make
them do tricks? How do you do that? Because they make money? It’s
disgusting and Sea World is absolutely wrong. This is a big wake up
call. How many more people are going to have to be killed? When are we
going to realize that these animals are not supposed to be there?”
Thanks to Ecorazzi for the story.
