Abolish the Georgia Aquarium immediately

The Issue

The Georgia Aquarium was founded to "encourage both education and economic growth." It has only done the latter. The aquarium does not educate, but instead represents the worst forms of capitalism: animals trapped in dirty tanks forced to perform for human enjoyment.

Nowhere in the aquarium is there an explanation of what each fish is, where the animals come from, or how they affect their ecosystems. 

Further, the Ga Aquarium was listed among the worst tanks for dolphin and whales in North America. In Defense of Animals described them as “dying pool (that) plumbs the depths in exploitation of intelligent and sensitive animals.”

Please help me in shutting down the Georgia Aquarium so that these animals can be released to facilities that will prep them for an eventual return to their natural biome, the ocean.
