" Free the animals from their harsh environments in captivity."
Why is this important?
We wanted to bring to your attention that animals are not treated well in captivity. Sea World is one example of a place that does not meet the needs for their sea life. With orcas SeaWorld encloses their orcas in a small amount of space and does not let the animals maintain their natural instincts. In order for orcas in captivity to meet their needs of swimming 100 miles a day, they will need to swim the circumference of their tanks 1,900 times. We just want to spread the news about how animals and sea life are treated in captivity.
