Awesome Ocean Attempts to stop their fans finding the truth!

Dodo Demands SeaWorld Answer Hate Mail

Featured

Ever try having a conversation with the bathroom wall? In a truckstop bathroom with foul graffiti written on it?
Of course, but then you resort to blocking don't you? 
We didn't think so.

Yet, PETA super-fans over at The Dodo are demanding SeaWorld do just that. Essentially demanding that SeaWorld respond to what consists of The Dodo's thoughts about the marine park.

Firstly, your research shows you up once again lol. Take a look here
Anyone and everyone who loves animals can make a post on the Dodo, even you Eric, so its not just the thought of one thing - the Dodo, it is the thoughts of many individuals, even Seaworld fans write on there too. Fancy that!!

You see, leading up to the Super Bowl, GoDaddy released an ad online. The ad, which is an obvious spoof of the hugely popular puppy ads from Budweiser, features a puppy named Buddy who is lost and returns home only to realize he’s been sold via a website set up using GoDaddy.
Twitter and Facebook erupted with negative reactions to the ad citing the promotion of puppy mills and improper breeding.
GoDaddy began engaging those who tweeted at them about the ad. They explained their longtime work with animal shelters, volunteer efforts by GoDaddy employees and even noted that a loving family had adopted Buddy. It was by-and-large a rational conversation.
Well isn't that how it should be? 
If you have nothing to hide you defend yourself, well normal people do anyway, those who are honest enough to back up what they say. People like yourself, Stand with Seaworld, Podcast all run by ermmm you, Erin and Mike, block those who are armed with the facts, take a look down your own wall, there are many times people say they love learning facts, not just things you choose to tell them. Then there is Seaworld themselves who do exactly the same thing.
Got something to hide?

In steps PETA's official mouthpiece, a web publication called The Dodo.
Seeing controversy, they took a shot at SeaWorld.
 Rightly so as Seaworld even when addressing things lie upon lie. What company would use an orca who had 7 calves and only has 2 of them with her as an example of NOT separating mothers from their offspring?

Katina - 
First born Kalina was taken to do a tour of the Seaworld parks and not returned until she was 9 years old. Whilst away she had a calf of her own at the extremely young age of 7, 18 months gestation so she was 5 and a half years old and Seaworld allowed her to become pregnant. When Keet was 18 months old his mum was moved again as she was pregnant again. SEAWORLD SAID KEET BECAME DEPRESSED after her move but he was cared for by Haida 2 and made friends with Kuyquot and Katerina, despite that at aged 5 he was moved to away from them too.

She then had Keto - SEAWORLD SAID HE WAS MOVED OUT OF ORLANDO TO CORRECT HIS BAD HABITS he was 3. 
He stayed at San Diego for 9 months, then was moved to Ohio and then to San Antonio. He finally formed a bond with Kayla even fighting with Ky over her and was then reunited with his brother and they too became really close. Despite the bonds he made as he would have naturally been at his mothers side all his life, he was then sent to Loro Parque never seeing any of them again. People wonder then why he killed poor Alix Martinez, Seaworld knew he was messed up as they tried to correct his bad habits, who gave him those bad habits? Even though they knew about Keto they still let the trainers in Loro Parque swim with them, being supervised by Brian Rokeach didn't stop the death.

As you know the orca so well what possible reason was there to take Tuar from Kalina? He too would still be at his mothers side?

Then there is Skyla how old was she when Seaworld took her from her mother? 2, what was the reason for that??

When Kalina died from septicemia, she had none of her calves with her, why was that as Seaworld state they don't separate them??? Those 4 orca would have stayed in Katina's matriline after Kalinas death.
 
Katerina - Katina's second calf was taken aged 2, and sent to San Antonio, she died there aged 10. Why did they take her from Katina as Seaworld's lovely videos say they respect the mother and calf bond, and the simpering mother of 4 says 'we wouldn't do that' but they would and have. 
 
Taku was so messed up he mated with his own mother, producing Nalani a full inbred who can go nowhere as she will never be part of the breeding programme, if she ever is there certainly would be uproar as no respectable institution would breed an animal knowing they were full inbred. As you know them so well, how was that allowed to happen?? He died at San Antonio of pneumonia aged 14. 

Unna - where is Unna and how old was she when she was moved?? She has been on birth control since miscarrying her first calf. Why isn't she still with Katina?? 

Ikaika was only 4 when he was traded for 4 Belugas and sent to Marineland. After winning the court battle he was brought back to Seaworld, so why wasn't he brought back to the same tank as his mother as he would have been with her for life in the wild?? 

Nalani - beautiful Nalani can't go anywhere as she can never be used for the breeding programme due to being the result of mother and son mating. 
 
7 calves later she had Makaio, who is still with her. She should have all her calves with her and as 3 of them have died from septicemia, pneumonia and infection which then raises the question of how have these orca got those infections as Seaworld says their tanks are free from bacteria, infection and pathogens. Look through the causes of death for the other orca too, this is obviously NOT the case. 

To produce a video saying Seaworld are aware of the mother and calf bonds makes the situation so much worse, as ignorance could have been an excuse, now there is no excuse for separating these orca. 

Answer that one Eric, what sort of company would use that particular orca as an example of respecting the mother and calf bond? The only true statement in the above video is ''the truth is on our parks'' and it most certainly is as anyone can check the whereabouts of those orcas, and the necropsy reports for the others. 


What sort of company would say they were offended as Blackfish said they blamed Dawn for her own death, when the court transcripts of the case show they blatantly did?

“Instead of doing what SeaWorld did to combat negative publicity - deleting Facebook comments, blocking people from their social media accounts and creating a “Truth Team" - GoDaddy is thanking people for giving them feedback.” wrote The Dodo.
That is exactly what Seaworld did and what you do and still do!  Why do you do that are you frightened that those people Seaworld are clinging onto might actually find out the truth? Wouldn't it be better for Seaworld to actually address those issues rather than pretend they didn't happen or have the likes of you keeping people confused with your obsession with PETA and Dodo?

Wonder if GoDaddy got any of the hate tweets or Facebook comments, err… sorry “feedback”, threatening arson and shootings?
Here’s is just a bit of the “feedback” SeaWorld has received that we could find with a quick search:
We all have feedback Eric, it isnt just one sided, so to add to yours, I'll add some from your side, as you chose to leave names on yours I'll return the favour.

 Here are the ones your side post and at the end you can see who fuels things like this
Lets start with this, an event organised and still showing on Stand with Seaworld - Protest the Protestors. Names for these 2 can be provided.

There are 2 people that insist on calling me Dawn, Eric Davis and Mike Madsen.

Double team bullying a girl.

After stating many don't support PETA's kill policy any more than they do.

Actively antagonizes anti captivity people yet stabs her own too.

Summons as many people as possible to cause friction to people posting their own opinions. A quick scroll down their comments shows where the venom comes from and its not this side.

On Gabriella Cowperthwaite

Who fuels all this hatred, as it tries to shift the focus from what people actually protest? 

The same people who write articles bullying Ellen Ericksen 

The same people who lead their fans to believe Activists attack rescues

The same people who try to bully school children

The same people who AGAIN pick on children

One of your most recent

Wow!
Wow indeed!!  You post comments which look like they are from the same conversation to be fair, and I post many different ones, there are worse ones I could find too all linking back to one of your pages, but there are thousands and thousands of comments that are not like that at all.
I have personally had people thank me for suprising them and not being what they had been led to believe.


The PETA posse at The Dodo can’t seem to understand why SeaWorld won’t respond to comments like these.
 Once again you back up all the allegations above about YOU fuelling this with just this sentence alone. Go look at Dodo as stated earlier ANYONE can post on there, including you, it is in no shape or form a PETA posse, but you once again lead people to attack it.

Normal people either ignore, delete, or report hateful and threatening comments like this. Not The Dodo. They demand SeaWorld say ‘Thank you for your feedback’.
They demand that Seaworld have some honesty and transparency as people can see straight through the lies they spin, especially you, which is probably why you fuel all this as you know your position against actual documented FACTS is now very weak and people can truly see Seaworld for what they are. Their lack of addressing anything put to them, or trying to cover it, just digs their hole deeper than it already is and you fuel that too.

After all, most of these people are PETA fans who read The Dodo.
What a load of biased rubbish and you know it too. Whats the problem are you frightened that those so close might learn a few things, see that they have been blindfolded by you and Seaworld's PR team, as it is all unravelling right before your eyes. You can block people from your pages but you cannot stop those fans from reading things like this blog or the DODO where they can look up facts for themselves. Seaworld will have to face the music over a lot of things as people uncover the truth and you, nor them can stop that.

Take a look through my blog, all the links people need, all the factual reports, necropsies, statements, court reports are all there so people can research themselves, not just blindly follow what they are told in a blocked off bubble. the DODO does the same.

Before you deleted his post stating it was a false profile, someone working for Seaworld gave you some very valuable advise, I suggest you read it again, it wasn't a false account at all as he replied to my request for confirmation.

Kids Reject Blackfish - Really lol.

Kids Nationwide Reject the Blackfish Agenda

Featured

Well once again the FACTS are missing from this article by Eric Davis, which is usual to make something fit with the Seaworld PR agenda, so once again the links to the actual events are below. 


When a kid in Malibu, California forced the rest of her classmates to miss out on a day at SeaWorld because she was misled by Blackfish, it made national news.
Ever since that girl forced the radical agenda of animal rights groups like PETA, The Dodo and others, they have claimed that children are rejecting accredited zoological organizations in favor of a debunked documentary. Linking back to your own website isn't evidence is it, that was debunked too here

The girl that Eric accuses of ''forcing a radical agenda'' is 10 YEARS OLD. Outrageous really that Awesome Ocean would think it is alright to say a 10 year old was forcing such an agenda, when the actual article with the Principal says -

''The overnight trip to SeaWorld has been a tradition for fifth-graders at Point Dume Marine Science Elementary School in Malibu, California, for at least a decade, according to Principal Rebecca Johnson, but concerns from parents and students including one determined 10-year-old prompted a decision to go elsewhere on this year's trip.

Although Johnson mostly credited parents for influencing the change, several parents CNN spoke with said 10-year-old Kirra Kotler played a major role in the decision.''

The full article is here 

Lets hope  Kirra doesn't read what Eric Davis says about her due to her young age, guess no one not even a child is entitled to an opinion different to that of Seaworld's!!

However, we are learning this isn't the case, and in fact quite the opposite is happening nationwide!
Children of all ages are rejecting the radical agenda being shoved in their faces and asking for alternatives. Not only are they analyzing the source material the school is presenting to them, they're demanding they be allowed to think critically by hearing both sides of the issue, which is a victory for anyone interested in education.
Hearing both sides of the story is a fantastic way of teaching the kids of today, schools will look up official documents and check all their information as that is what schools do. It certai ly will be an education as they will see Seaworld for exactly what they are which is what happened to most of the people who oppose Seaworld now. They will see that those who write blogs trying to support Seaworld pass the blame ON Blackfish or onto PETA, but the bottom line is PETA don't have captive orcas in tanks do they? Seaworld DO. Children have very inquiring minds and the penny will drop with them the same as it did with all of us that Seaworld are actually using PETA as the distraction as people don't like their kill policy, but at the end of the day their kill policy has nothing to do with why people protest Seaworld no matter how much the support pages like this one bang on about it .

Here we have a few stories of kids who are standing up to radical activists and demanding that they hear the full story and learn the truth:

Bear in mind the sentence above says ''kids who are standing up to radical activists'' when this article is about a 10 year old girl. 
I would be ashamed to label a child as a radical activist but Eric Davis and Awesome Ocean don't care who they call in their desperate attempt to try to make Seaworld seem relevant. It is shameful.

Austin and Goliath in San Antonio, Texas

When one of Austin's teachers announced that they would be required to watch Blackfish in school, Austin stood up and demanded that they allow a SeaWorld trainer from SeaWorld San Antonio to come in afterwards to comment about the film.
The teacher responded, "We don't have time for that." Austin quickly countered, "Then we don't have time for Blackfish." The teacher agreed and the class was spared 80 minutes of out-of-context YouTube clips and propaganda.

Chris Brings Keiko to Texas

When Chris learned about the new book "Killing Keiko" by Mark Simmons, he went straight to his school's library. When he found out it wasn't available, but other radical animal rights books were, he kindly asked if "Killing Keiko" could be included. The librarians happily agreed and ordered the book. It is now available to all the students at his high school.

Christophers photograph removed at his request, (see comments below)  still visible in the Awesome Ocean article. 

We have begun to learn that students in Florida, California, Idaho, Utah, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan and more are all requesting that their libraries stock Killing Keiko.

Stocking it and believing it are still 2 different things. Children will know there are many articles about Keiko which they can check and compare against as I did here.

Nikki vs. The Debate Team in New York, New York

 Nikki hasn't asked for her photograph to be removed but I removed it anyway it is still visible on the Awesome Ocean original article.

When Nikki learned that her debate team would have to debate "Pro: SeaWorld should be closed" she had to fight other class members to represent the "Con" which was to defend SeaWorld in the debate. After days of research and preparation, she ended the debate convincing numerous audience members from the rival school that SeaWorld does incredible good in the world and should NOT be closed!
These 3 stories are just the tip of the iceberg. There has been so much interest in SeaWorld's real story that SeaWorld has been piloting an education program that would allow their trainers to virtually talk with any classroom about the amazing animal care their animals receive.
It is a new era and children around the country are demanding that they get to hear both sides and learn the truth!

From the looks of some of the articles from Children and teens that Eric has chosen to miss from this biased article yet again, Children are indeed learning and hearing both sides in order to make a decision.

The newest child to speak out is 13-year-old student Phoebe Goldstein.
But this year at Alexander Dawson School in Lafayette, the itinerary was questioned by 13-year-old student Phoebe Goldstein. Every spring the school offers a variety of educational trips to both domestic and international destinations. This year, one option was going to San Diego to study species diversity with a stop at SeaWorld. As an animal activist, Phoebe was vehemently against supporting SeaWorld and made it her mission to eliminate that excursion. Officials at the school took notice, and worked with Phoebe, ultimately deciding to remove the outing. Full link here

Teen link writes an article about The Prisoners of Seaworld  

 13-year-old Max Guinn challenged Seaworld to a debate. Four years ago, he and his mother co-founded Kids Eco Club, which has helped start environmental groups in more than 100 local schools -- reaching 20,000 students.

Students ask Seaworld a lot of questions they want answering after watching Blackfish 
''

"Dear SeaWorld, thank you for all your amazing memories,” a young woman begins. "The Shamu show…" says another student. "Dolphin point…" another says. One student thanks SeaWorld for "all the cute, cuddly teddy bears."

Then narrative takes a big turn.

A student explains that, "after watching the documentary Blackfish on CNN..." then another student picks up the line "…all of those memories have been totally cheapened."

Then come the hard-hitting questions.

"Is it true the orcas in your exhibits were kidnapped from their families?" asks one student. (The film’s star orca, Tilikum, who killed trainer Dawn Brancheau in February 2010 at the Orlando park, was snatched from his mother’s side in the waters off Iceland in 1983. In the subsequent 30 years, the 12,000-pound marine mammal has sired 54% of SeaWorld’s current orcas.)

"Is it true their lifespan is shortened in captivity?" asks another student. (Annual mortality rates for captive orcas are two and a half times higher than for wild whales).

"Is it true that there have been multiple attacks on trainers in your parks?" yet another asks. (The answer is a resounding yes, and will be the subject of oral arguments in federal appeals court in Washington, D.C. on November 12).

"Until these questions are answered,” the students continue, "there will be no more admission tickets... no more rides... no more teddy bears."

Times of San Diego report 
Bethany Fullerton of San Diego, a 15-year-old sophomore activist against SeaWorld, is a finalist for 2014 Cutest Vegan Alive.  

Zach Affolter was bullied being called a punk amongst other things by Kogo for asking his school board to cancel trips to Seaworld . Much like Eric Davis had done here with this 10 year old girl, calling her names too.

Parents speak out against Seaworld

Rose McCoy  aged 12 The seventh-grade honors student was arrested at the Rose Parade in Pasadena, Calif., on Jan. 1 after darting in front of a SeaWorld float 

Rose doesn’t plan to stop fighting for killer whales. She and her classmates at the Clinton School for Writers and Artists in Chelsea have formed the school’s first animal-rights club and plan to spread awareness of “Blackfish.”

In 2012 A judge ruled against Seaworld form
''The Florida Supreme Court ruled in 2008 that parents can't waive liability if their kids get injured in these activities, but still places like SeaWorld won't take our kids unless we sign the documents. Fortunately judges seem to understand that a parent does not send her child to SeaWorld in the expectation she may never see her again.''

There are many many children out there against Seaworld who are NOT radical activists and don't deserve to be called as such. It is about time Eric Davis, Awesome Ocean, Stand with Seaworld, Seaworld Podcast and Seaworld themselves realised that people have strong opinions and reasons to not advocate for Seaworld anymore and calling them names in any form whether children or adult is not called for, nor does the Seaworld PR machine any favours what so ever. 

Seaworld and the social media sites above chose not to engage with those people, block them, delete comments,  not to answer those children and to resort to name calling as a means of defence. Regardless how much they try to deflect the attention onto another organisation those focused on doing the right thing for those orcas know that they protest because of Seaworld themselves, not because of PETA or Blackfish but because of Seaworld and the quicker those who resort to calling a child like this realise that the better it will be all round.
