You know I would agree with blind fanboy, if it were true in my case. I have actually researched this a good bit along with did a ton of work for an organization that rescues dogs/cats and educates people on poor breeding practices of dogs/cats along with having a mission statement that says they want to no longer have to exist because the over population no longer exists and every animal has a home. They work closely with Sea World. They can look past the bad media to the very good work they do with rescuing animals. They can look past what past owners did to create Sea World and see the current Sea World for what it is. Sea World is not perfect, but it is not the devil. The work they do now actually saves a good bit of Animals lives. Their pets ahoy show is all rescues from local organizations. Their turtles, manatees, and many other animals are rescues. If the parks did not exist most if not all their rescue efforts would not exist either. The education would not exist either, which is key for a lot of things like saving turtles. I know as a kid I had no clue what I could do to help animals, but my daughter sure does. She knows not to litter, to not have lights on at the beach at night, etc. She knows why these are bad and what happens when people do these things. She is way more educated about these things than I was at 5. I think that is something very positive in this me centrist world we live in today. Knowing my daughter actually cares about what happens to animals and cares about what she can do to help save animals.
Which by the way that organization I talked about did Food and Wine events, auctions, etc. Many events that had nothing to do with dogs or cats, but they did raise money to help their cause. Events mean nothing and companies and fundraising organizations use many different tactics to get money that have nothing to do with their core business.
I think on this subject you are not going to change our minds and we are not going to change yours. So why not just drop this and actually stick to the topic at hand which is some religious bands will be playing at Sea World. Maybe someone wants to talk about how they do or do not like the bands playing instead of the morality of Sea World having religious bands play when they are an animal place.
BTW, a perfect example of how Sea World cares more about animals than their shows. They actually suspended shows for a period of time in their other parks because they needed the manpower for a rescue of Sea Lions who got stranded out of the water. They had so many Sea Lions they had to bring back to health that they pulled staff from all the parks, suspended some shows because they didn't have enough staff to do those shows, and flew all these people in to help with the rescue effort. As I stated, they are not perfect, but the devil sure as heck wouldn't do something like that.
