The leadership of United Parks & Resorts, under CEO Marc Swanson, is failing the values and expectations set for the company, its employees, and visitors. It's time for a change. We need dynamic leadership that focuses on the welfare of the parks, the visitors, and most importantly, the animals and the hard-working staff.

Reports indicate that the company's stock has plummeted during Swanson's tenure, reflecting poor financial performance and strategic direction. This is not just about numbers; it's about trust and responsibility towards stakeholders who believe in the potential of the parks. Furthermore, the reception to new attractions has been less than enthusiastic, suggesting a disconnect between management's vision and guest expectations.

More concerning, under Swanson's guidance, the parks have seen a decline in cleanliness standards, impacting the overall visitor experience. Parents, families, and patrons expect and deserve clean and inviting parks that feel safe and welcoming.

Perhaps most troubling is the shift in the focus of SeaWorld, away from the core values of animal protection and conservation. SeaWorld was once renowned for its dedication to marine education and wildlife conservation. Under the current leadership, the emphasis seems to have shifted, sidelining the very aspects that should remain central to SeaWorld's mission.

Additionally, reports of employee mistreatment cannot be ignored. The staff, who are integral to the park's operations, have faced unacceptably low wages including dolphin trainers who deserve fair compensation and respectful treatment for their specialized skills and dedication.

A change in leadership can usher in a renewed focus on sustainability, animal welfare, park satisfaction, and employee rights. By advocating for the resignation of Marc Swanson, we can push for a future that is aligned with the original and best values of United Parks & Resorts.

We urge the board of United Parks & Resorts to consider these critical issues and make the right call for the future of the parks. Please sign this petition to demand accountability and positive reform in the leadership of our parks.
