Urge the San Antonio Bowl Association to 'Remember the Alamo' and Not Support SeaWorld!

"Remember the Alamo!" This phrase has long served as a battle cry for Texans and a warning to those who engage in merciless cruelty. However, apparently, the San Antonio Bowl Association doesn't remember it at all. It continues to promote SeaWorld by partnering with the abusement park for its Alamo Bowl, advertising the park on its website, and even hosting a media day there, which includes swimming with dolphins—despite hearing from PETA that orcas there are cruelly confined to barren concrete tanks and can become neurotic, aggressive, and self-destructive because of the stress of captivity.

Since the release of the critically acclaimed documentary Blackfish, which exposed SeaWorld's record of animal mistreatment to the public, people around the world have united against the park. Dozens of companies have severed ties with it, and celebrities—including Nick Cannon, James Cromwell, and Noah Cyrus—have spoken out against it. At least 40 orcas have died at SeaWorld's parks, and hundreds of other dolphins, whales, sea lions, and other animals have also died there—many prematurely. Facing sinking attendance numbers, the company finally announced that it would end its sordid orca-breeding program—which has since been banned in California—but this action does nothing for the 21 orcas who are still suffering at SeaWorld and the more than 100 other dolphins and whales who may still be bred, sometimes forcibly after being drugged.

It's time that SeaWorld acknowledged that people don't want to see orcas, other dolphins and whales, and other sensitive, intelligent animals swimming in endless circles in concrete tanks.

Please urge the San Antonio Bowl Association to stop supporting SeaWorld until the orcas there have been safely and permanently retired to seaside sanctuaries—then, follow up with a polite call to 210-226-BOWL (2695).

I was disappointed to learn that the San Antonio Bowl Association continues to partner with SeaWorld, despite overwhelming evidence that the orcas and other animals confined there are treated cruelly.

Orcas are extremely sensitive, emotional, and complex animals. In the wild, they travel up to 140 miles per day in close-knit groups, and in some populations, offspring stay with their mothers for life. The orcas at SeaWorld exhibit abnormal, aggressive, and neurotic behavior because they're confined to tiny concrete tanks, in which they're unable to swim or move freely or dive to any significant depth. They wear their teeth down to nubs and often break them by chewing on the sides and gates of the tanks, and some even smash their heads against the tank bottoms.

Since the release of the critically acclaimed documentary Blackfish, which exposed the park's record of abuse to the public, people around the world have united against SeaWorld. Dozens of corporate partners have severed ties with the company, and celebrities—including Nick Cannon, James Cromwell, and Noah Cyrus—have spoken out against the abusement park. At least 40 orcas have died at its parks, and hundreds of other dolphins, whales, sea lions, and other animals there have also died—many prematurely.

Please do the right thing now by joining the long list of organizations that have severed ties with SeaWorld.

Thank you.
