Why I will NEVER pay admission (or work for) SeaWorld, and ANY aquariums/parks that hold these huge pelagic animals captive.https://twitter.com/_danielari/status/1138566439747641345 …
The remaining turtle they have now, Nåpu, was part of a rescued pair from Indonesia (I think?). Turtles can travel far true enough, but his species generally can also stay around the same area if they get fed well, which he does. Which is also why we shouldn't feed wild ones.

Although it is relatively cruel (is it tho??) to keep them out of the wild and in captivity, I'd say it's justified in this case bc of what you said. People who love or are unfamiliar w/ the ocean & can't go for themselves can get educated & experience it in some small safe way

I asked is it cruel bc with the way things are going, zoos & aquariums may be our next hope for harboring some species to allow them to grow in relative safety before transplanting them back. UWW currently has a cool coral transplant program going on doing this.

It's sad for me because when I worked there the other one, Scooby, was my favorite
she passed away three yrs ago.
By the time they were rescued they couldn't be returned to the ocean bc they were so used to captivity. But this is the world we live in.
