Ariana Madix
“Each pod has their own language. So you have orcas from all different pods who are living in these bathtubs, and they’re fighting with each other because they have no way of communicating. They’re confused, and they’re full of anguish, and it shouldn’t be that way.”
Ewan McGregor

“If I could say something to SeaWorld, I would say, ‘I appreciate that you have decided to end the [orca] breeding program. That’s awesome, and it’s a step in the right direction. But it’s not enough, and it’s time to empty the tanks.'”
Eli Roth
“All the violence and suffering in my films is pretend—no one is hurt, ever. Sadly, the same is not true at SeaWorld, which targets their entertainment at families and children.”
