"The lawsuit asks the court to order the orcas released to the custody of a legal guardian who would find a "suitable habitat" for them."
lol.... a legal guardian? who is gonna take whales as a guardian? besides, say... seaword, who they are suing. who would even take care of whales as much as sea world does? spend countless hours with them. Peta is nuts. man, i swear every time i hear about Peta, it gets worse and worse... yea we get it animal rights and all, but come on, now they are just getting annoying with the stupidest claims, not to mention not well thought out.
""By any definition, these orcas are slaves — kidnapped from their homes, kept confined, denied everything that's natural to them and forced to perform tricks for SeaWorld's profit," said Kerr. "The males have their sperm collected, the females are artificially inseminated and forced to bear young which are sometimes shipped away.""
well then, by any definition, all captive animals are slaves, according to petas statement... good to know, zoos, pet stores, hobbyists of all ages and yea, i guess even conservation programs are all a bunch of kidnapping slave owners because they keep animals. seriously, thats just ridiculous. peta just doesnt know when to draw the line, they need to mind their own business some times and stay out of it... -_-
