Seaworld coming to a MidEast nation; maybee..
The CEO of U.S. theme park operator SeaWorld Entertainment Inc., Jim Atchinson, said Wednesday that the company had "entered into an exclusive six-month memorandum of understanding" with "a partner who has an established track record of opening and operating world-class attractions." Under the MOU, SeaWorld will assess the possibility of "a multi-park development in the Middle East." Hope it fails . Just not right to confine Orcas and Dolphins to a pool. |

I'd love to swim with Dolphins but christ alive in Dubai it's: A. Monumentally expensive and B. Looks brutal and shit for the dolphins.
I'm not at all an animal rights warrior but I think for animals like dolphins and whales, they can't be happy in big tanks, no matter how wonderful and large they are. |

Watch Blackfish - great movie.

Agreed. Sadly too many people don't seem to care. Witness the popularity of people wanting to swim with dolphins at Atlantis. Dubai Dolphinarium is still going too. I refuse to go, but even the pictures on their website are depressing.

I do not agree at all with keeping any animals in captivity but Blackfish is a load of nonsense owing to the fact that no one in it actually worked with the Orca's

That just looks like Seaworld propaganda to me. There were people that worked with Orcas in that movie and the others couldn't be there because they'd all been killed by them.
Really? You can't tell me you actually believe that :blink: It was a shock-doc which generally don't tell the whole story to something as it tends to make the program boring. Take it with a pinch of salt. |

It's all still wrong, along with Atlantis having people swimming with the dolphins that were taken from the wild. It disgusts me (and I've made this very clear to anyone I know who's swam with dolphins in Atlantis or been to the dolphinarium). |
