The most impactful thing we can do is make our voices heard! You may have tried to call over the weekend as I did and got a voicemail, so they're probably closed on weekends. Just a friendly reminder to please, please call! Signers have drastically slowed, so please keep this going strong by sending it to everyone you know. Facebook is such a powerful tool. THANK YOU again for your help with this! SeaWorld Public Relations – (407) 363-2280 please try to call first. If unsuccessful, you can email too. Please ask them to forward your email to Joel Manby, CEO. swo.pr@seaworld.com 5 Key points: 1) I commend SeaWorld for your decision to end your orca breeding program. 2) The 1st line in IMATA’s Code of Ethics is, “exercising the highest levels of respect and humaneness for all animals.” They defend member’s participation in sourcing wild dolphins from cruel drive hunts. This is blatant hypocrisy. 3) Even though SeaWorld doesn’t purchase dolphins in Taiji any longer, many of your trainers are members of IMATA, and sit on the board of directors. Out of the entire zoo and aquarium industry, IMATA is the only organization still supporting live captures in Taiji. 4) Your affiliation with IMATA and hosting their annual conferences discredits your reputation AND the conservation, animal rescue and animal welfare message you're trying to disseminate to the public. 5) You have a golden opportunity to improve your global reputation by denouncing IMATA, thus helping your financial situation if you denounce, or disassociate yourselves from IMATA.
