Hi Friend,

Our campaign to shut down the cruel Miami Seaquarium has taken a new step forward. Last month, plans were announced to transform the venue under new ownership. The good news is none of the plans involve keeping marine mammals, such as dolphins, orcas, and seals, captive for entertainment. The bad news is, developers and the city government want to build a new aquarium that will still offer interactions with other animals. In a statement, Miami officials said:

“We don’t want animals performing,” she said. “We want interactions with animals, but we want those interactions to be wholesome, resilient and based on the well-being of those animals.”

While it's great news that we've successfully shown city authorities that marine mammal entertainment is unethical, it's disappointing that they still believe allowing human interactions with any wild animals could be acceptable. Such interactions can never be “wholesome” as they inevitably place the animals’ well-being at risk.

We can't let this happen. Because plans haven’t been fully confirmed, there is still a chance to stop the aquarium. Our Miami supporters are emailing their city officials, but we need your help with a nationwide petition.

Can you sign our petition urging Miami city officials to reconsider and not build a new aquarium?: [link removed]
