Hard to believe isn’t it? When I first read about this and saw the photos, I was shocked and disgusted.

I have a sick feeling in my stomach as I write this. In fact I wish I didn’t have to talk about this subject. That it just didn’t exist. But it does. I posted recently about the recent tragedies at SeaWorld – both the death of trainer Dawn Brancheau and the captive life of Tilikum
