Dear Friends, 

It has been a while! I hope you are all well!

Since British Airways last asked us to cease all social media action to give them time to look into the issues at SeaWorld, I have tried to uphold that agreement which is why I haven't posted for a while. Today, things have changed! 

This morning, Virgin Holidays announced it is finally cutting ties with SeaWorld and other facilities holding whales and dolphins in captivity! 

I will try to find the exact statement from Virgin but this is fantastic news for whales and dolphins in captivity! Virgin is one of the leading, global  tour operators. As you may know, China is currently expanding its captivity industry so here is hope that Virgin will not team up with any Chinese or Russian facilities either thus halting the boom in Asia.

As we're speaking, I'm writing an E-Mail to British Airways asking them to follow Virgin Holidays' and Thomas Cook's example as both have now cut ties with SeaWorld.

I will keep you posted as soon as I hear from BA. Well done to everyone who's been instrumental in making this campaign against SeaWorld a success!

It is working so please keep fighting for these animals! They deserve so much better!

Kind Regards,

Kathleen
