Dear Friends,

Delightful news after 5 long years of campaigning! British Airways has finally decided to end their partnership with SeaWorld and has finally removed their holiday packages to SeaWorld!

Thank you all SO MUCH from the bottom of my heart for your continued support for this campaign! It would not have been possible without you! I actually still cannot believe it's true!

All our hard work has finally paid off! Thank you all for your tireless efforts to make this happen! You should be celebrating tonight because YOU made this a reality!

A massive thank you to all the staff at Whale and Dolphin Conservation who helped me launch the petition and given me incredible support over the last 5 years. This is truly a collective victory!

Here is the E-Mail I received from BA:

"Dear Kathleen Thank you for contacting my colleague Andy. Yes, I can confirm that British Airways Holidays are no longer selling tickets for SeaWorld. In line with our policy, we will no longer sell tickets to attractions where wild animals held in captivity are central to the attraction. Further details of our policy can be found on ba.com/animalwelfare. I hope that answers your question and thank you for your interest in the approach we are taking. Best wishes"

Thank you again everyone who has signed this petition and got involved over the last 5 years! You are all heroes fighting for a better world and today proves that never giving up and fighting against the odds IS worth it! I wish you all the very best and hope to see you again!

Kind Regards,

Kathleen
