Despite Orca Deaths, LOCASH Plans to Perform at SeaWorld—Take Action!

UN LAB Middleware Label: Title Ends

More than 40 orcas have already died at SeaWorld—many far short of their natural life expectancy—and 17 others are still suffering at the parks. Yet LOCASH plans to perform at SeaWorld Orlando’s Bands, Brews, and BBQ event.

In nature, orcas, bottlenose dolphins, and beluga whales maintain dynamic relationships in large social networks and swim free in the ocean. While most of the world is waking up to the fact that orcas at SeaWorld go insane from stress and loneliness in cramped concrete tanks and that other dolphins and whales are still being forcibly bred—sometimes after being drugged—artists who support the cruel company help it profit from its speciesism, a human-supremacist worldview.

Many major artists—including Jason Derulo, Barenaked Ladies, Cheap Trick, Willie Nelson, and Trisha Yearwood—have canceled their performances at the abusement park. Please contact LOCASH and urge them to follow the lead of other compassionate performers who have chosen not to associate with SeaWorld.

I was disappointed to learn that LOCASH plans to perform at SeaWorld Orlando’s Bands, Brews, and BBQ event, despite knowing that bottlenose dolphins, orcas, and other animals are suffering at the “abusement” park.

Although SeaWorld stopped breeding orcas after facing mounting criticism, 17 of them are still suffering at the parks, and more than 40 have died from causes such as severe trauma, intestinal gangrene, and chronic cardiovascular failure. Other dolphins and whales are still being bred—forcibly and, in some cases, after being drugged—and more than 100 of them are crammed into just seven tanks at SeaWorld’s U.S. parks, where they have nothing to do but swim in endless circles.

Your fans would have to pay for admission to see you perform—so the company would not only profit from your appearance but also be able to brag about the spike in attendance, reinforcing its decision to hold complex animals in cruel, unnatural conditions.

Will you please join many major artists—including Jason Derulo, Barenaked Ladies, and Willie Nelson—by canceling your performance at SeaWorld?
