PETA Returns the favor

PETA is capitalizing on the SeaWorld crisis after a veteran trainer was killed by SeaWorld's 12,000-pound orca on February 24. The animal rights group is flying a large banner over the San Antonio, San Diego, and Orlando parks, calling for SeaWorld to transfer all of its dolphins-including orcas- to transitional coastal sanctuarties and stop keeping these ocean mammals to these confined unnatural habitats.

In the wake of the recent death caused by the killer whale, I will be curious to see how SeaWorld responds to PETA's message, if at all...whether they push back strongly or take a more passive approach considering the whale acting out, causing a trainer to be killer, and then being reinstated to perform. How do/will they justify entertainment at the expensive of a life?
