Guest guest Posted April 6, 2007 Report Share Posted April 6, 2007 Alice radio, 97.3, was promoting Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, formerly Marine World, this morning. Please contact them and let them know that promoting animal acts is not looked upon favorably. Locking up orcas and dolphins in pens is cruel. According to Ric O'Barry, former " trainer of " Flipper " to get a dolphin and Orca to perform they have to be kept hungry so they will do the tricks for a fish reward. Also Six Flags has an elephant show and rides. Let Alice know that elephants only perform under the threat of getting hit with a bullhook. A weapon resembling a fireplace poker. Forcing animals to perform is an archaic practice that is not fun for the animals and should not be promoted as fun for people. Advertising dollars should not take precedent over compassion for other animals. Please be respectful as we are asking them to show compassion we also need to model it towards them. Call Alice at: 415-765-4097 or e-mail them at: http://www.radioalice.com/pages/72169.php?contentType=33 & contentId=4563 Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
