Jane Goodall: SeaWorld ‘should be closed down’ April 28

http://money.cnn.com/2015/04/28/news/jane-goodall-seaworld/index.html?sr=fbmoney042815goodall0300story

$eaworld’s response was that Jane Goodall may not be up-to-date on the latest cetacean research. Haha! Whaaat? The woman has devoted her life to wildlife conservation and education.

Seriously, $eaworld gets more and more ignorant and arrogant as an entity every day! Those profits must be large for them to cling onto the lies and subterfuge so very tightly.
