FMRI staff work closely with staff at Sea World (it's a rather small close community, those marine biologists) and would probably be aware of issues through direct communications, professional organizations, list servs chatter, etc.

And this tiny, tightly knit community of people on first name base is your journalistic source for any malpractices within this close community?

Only Sea World pays people to pose as animal activists, as they were embarrassingly forced to admit last week:

​

  • (SEAS) admitted Thursday that employees have posed as animal rights activists to spy on critics and that the company will end the practice.


    The acknowledgment came after People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals last year accused San Diego park worker Paul McComb of spying on the organization's anti-SeaWorld protests.

    It also comes less than a week after SeaWorld announced a shakeup in its executive ranks, including the departures of the company's chief parks operations officer, chief zoological officer and San Antonio park director.

    SeaWorld CEO Joel Manby told analysts on a conference call Thursday morning that the company's board has "directed management to end the practice in which certain employees pose as animal rights activists."


    He said McComb had been transferred to another department and returned to work after a period of administrative leave.

    "All personnel matters pertaining to those involved have been handled internally," he said. "We recognize the need to ensure that all of our security and other activities align with our core values and ethical standards. As always the security and well-being of our employees, customers and animals remains at the forefront of our business practices."

    The company said it would not comment further on personnel issues.

    "SeaWorld's latest report confirms not only that the company has employed more than one spy to infiltrate and agitate at PETA but also that it values its spies more highly than the executives who have had their heads chopped off in droves, as at least one of the spies is still working at the company," PETA said Thursday in a statement.

    The group added: "SeaWorld's finances continue to flop as animals continue to be found dead in its tiny tanks, with one death every single month since November. If SeaWorld had business savvy or common sense, it would modernize its business with coastal sanctuaries and virtual-reality displays instead of building more roller coasters and dolphin prisons."

I do foster animals, I currently have 3 pit bulls waiting for a forever home living in my house. I donate to countless animal foundations, and I volunteer at my local SPCA. I am educated, I've done hours of research on captvity and I've decided I'm against it. Sure there are zoos that do care about the welfare of animals, but few do and that's the problem.
