Dear John,

For years, PETA and loyal, compassionate members like you have campaigned long and hard to end the cruel confinement of orcas at SeaWorld. Today, there is finally a payoff, as SeaWorld has announced that it's ending its breeding program immediately. This means that the orcas who have been forcibly bred and confined for years to tanks that are, to them, the size of a bathtub will be the last ones made to endure a miserable life of deprivation at the parks!

SeaWorld has taken a step forward, but more changes must follow. Orcas, dolphins, beluga whales, seals, and many other animals have suffered in confinement at the parks for decades. To do right by them now, SeaWorld must open its tanks and release these long-suffering animals to ocean sanctuaries so that they may have some semblance of a life outside of prison tanks.

We must keep the pressure on until SeaWorld empties the tanks and ends the use of all live animals at its abusement parks.

Sincerely,
