In the beginning of this month (October) an interesting press release was brought forward by the San Diego Coastkeeper and SeaWorld. The release described the new relationship between the two organizations and their intent of “teaming up together to keep Mission Bay beautiful.” A...

An Update on SeaWorld's Conservation Efforts:...
“SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment has spent about $160,000 so far this cycle. Eighty percent of its money has gone to GOP candidates and causes.”
If you are at all interested in SeaWorld’s financial state regarding the upcoming election I urge you to read the above article.
SeaWorld has put more money towards the GOP than they have put towards conservation in the entire...

Kohana Rejects Her New Calf
Kohana has rejected her calf, again. Kohana is only ten years old and has already given birth to two babies. Her first, Adan, was a result of inbreeding between Kohana and her uncle, Keto. Adan was rejected by his mother shortly after birth. And Kohana’s new calf, Vicky, has been shown the same indifference. Kohana has demonstrated that she is too young to be a mother, yet she is bred...
Starting College
I apologize for my lack of posts recently. I am getting ready to start college next week and life has been quite chaotic! Just wanted to let everybody know that I haven’t disappeared.
SeaWorld's Connection to Cetacean Slaughter
This is my fourth post in my series of instances in which SeaWorld has gone against conservation efforts.
As I mentioned in my previous article, SeaWorld has reported their involvement with wild subsistence beluga hunts. The animals are killed similarly to the dolphins in Japan, the drives we are most familiar with. There is absolutely no moral reason to supporting such brutality. Beluga are a...
SeaWorld Supports Subsistence Hunters and Captures...
This is my third post in my series of instances in which SeaWorld has went against conservation efforts. The subject is quite lengthy so I have decided to split it up into several posts containing one or two interesting situations.
In this case I would like to highlight SeaWorld’s influence on cetacean slaughter, and the capture of wild animals for unethical reasons.
In the year 2011...

SeaWorld Sells Seafood
This is the second post in my series of instances in which SeaWorld has went against conservation efforts.
SeaWorld is a park that is filled with award winning restaurants serving a wide variety of dishes. From hotdogs to lobster bisque. From fillet mignon to chicken nuggets. As a corporation that carries a title of “conservation,” where do they acquire their food?
In this post...
SeaWorld Pollutes Mission Bay
This is the first of a series of posts highlighting instances in which SeaWorld has went against conservation efforts.
On the SeaWorld and Busch Garden’s conservation website their mission clearly states the following, “Our mission is to work with purpose and passion on behalf of wildlife and habitats worldwide.” Apparently Mission Bay is an exception.
SeaWorld is a known...

I have heard of Sea World doing a lot to conserve wildlife in general. Actually I believe recently that they replaced plastic bags with paper in all of their locations’ gift shops. Not great for trees, but certainly better than plastic bags being discarded and left to journey out to who knows where, likely the ocean, endangering the animals.
Also, I don’t think anyone here...

dolphinsintanks:
Why are you people comparing SeaWorld to WWF? That makes no sense. WWF gets tons of donations because they have a KILLER ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN. Most of the people who donate only donate because WWF offers SO MANY types of free clothes, plushies, bags, hats, and other types of cheap junk. Unlike WWF, SeaWorld doesn’t hound people to give them money, harass them with constant...
SeaWorld's Concern for Conservation
SeaWorld and Busch Garden’s conservation fund is highly praised by the park’s supporters.
How much of a priority is conservation to the multi-billion dollar corporation? The easiest way to find out is to look at the financial report for SeaWorld and Busch Garden’s conservation fund and to inquire about where the money is going.
The 2009 annual report for the SeaWorld and...
