Dear John,
Ā
Campaign update - Penguins hit the press!
As you may know, earlier this year we launched a campaign to free the gentoo penguins currently held captive in London Sea Life Aquarium. These penguins liveĀ in a basement aquarium, they have no daylight, no fresh air, and just a tiny pool of a few feet in depth.
Most recently we launched an open letter calling for their release, which has now been signed by 26 high profile people includingĀ Chris Packham, Peter Egan, and Carol Royle.
Our open letter first appeared in The Express last Friday and since thenĀ the campaign has gone from strength to strength. All this week it has hit multiple national press offices and featured in the BBC, The Jeremy Vine Show and Times Radio.
The letter is calling on Sea Life and Merlin Entertainments, who own Sea Life and various other 'attractions' around the country, to cease immediate breeding and exhibition of these animals and send them to a true sanctuary.
