Lala Kent is using her social media platform to encourage her followers to not support SeaWorld.
The Vanderpump Rules alum shared a photo from her social media campaign where she’s trapped in a tank — echoing the very real reality for many of the animals at the theme park.
“Orcas are meant to be in a pod. That is how they thrive,” Lala said.
However at SeaWorld:
“Babies were being torn away from their mothers. These mammals swim up to 150 miles a day together, and you’re telling me that we’re going to keep them in a tank for the rest of their lives?”
“It just devastates me because I know what that bond looks like between me and my girls,” she said.
Per PETA’s research and findings, more than 40 orcas and over 500 other dolphins and whales have died in SeaWorld’s tanks.
Lala urges parents to consider avoiding the aquatic park.
“If I had a parent standing in front of me talking about how they’re taking their kid to SeaWorld, my first word would be ‘don’t.’”
“Don’t go—shut these places down so they don’t exist anymore,” the mother of two said.
