This Company Is Still Promoting Marine Parks as 'Adventures'—Urge It to Stop
Adventure Student Travel—a company that helps coordinate excursions for students—sells trips to SeaWorld and the Miami Seaquarium, despite hearing from more than 110,000 supporters like you urging it to drop the abusement parks from its offerings. It continues to promote these facilities as great places for students, Girl Scouts, and other groups to visit, despite hearing from PETA that these parks enslave marine mammals, force them to perform ridiculous tricks, and deny them everything that's natural and important to them. Three orcas have died so far this year at SeaWorld, and at the Miami Seaquarium, an orca named Lolita lives in the smallest orca tank in the world and hasn't seen another member of her species in more than 35 years, since her tankmate died after repeatedly ramming his head into the wall.
Let Adventure Student Travel know that there's nothing to be learned from watching suffering orcas swim in endless circles inside tiny tanks. Several studies have concluded that the unnatural portrayal of animals used for entertainment actually undermines the scientific, welfare, and conservation goals of those who seek to protect them.
Join me in urging Adventure Student Travel to make the compassionate decision to cut ties with SeaWorld and the Miami Seaquarium—then, forward this alert to everyone you know!
