I hope you’re doing effectively. We seen that you just’re scheduled to carry out at SeaWorld San Diego’s Summer season Live performance Collection, and we needed to tell you concerning the unbelievable influence you may make by reconsidering this collaboration.

SeaWorld is an organization notorious for its merciless remedy of marine mammals, and so many artists—together with Jason Derulo, Willie Nelson, Barenaked Girls, and Low-cost Trick—have refused to carry out there, taking a stand in opposition to animal abuse. It’s not too late to hitch them, as one of many artists who’re making historical past within the animal welfare area.

These extremely smart and social animals typically exhibit extreme stress and frustration, gnawing at concrete partitions and floating listlessly on account of their unnatural situations.

Whereas SeaWorld stopped breeding orcas after intense public backlash, 18 orcas are nonetheless struggling of their tanks, and the corporate continues to forcibly breed different dolphins and whales (which entails forcibly impregnating them, and sometimes drugging them first), guaranteeing a cycle of struggling. Greater than 40 orcas have already died at SeaWorld from causes similar to extreme trauma, intestinal gangrene, and power cardiovascular failure—most far wanting their pure life expectancy.

We’re campaigning for these animals to be moved to seaside sanctuaries, the place they will lastly really feel the ocean’s currents—many for the primary time of their lives. You could have the facility to make an actual distinction.

Your dedication to steer clear of SeaWorld, till they not maintain animals captive, would save lives. Can we rely on you to cancel your efficiency?

Thanks a lot on your time and consideration.
