PETA Pats Itself On The Back

Sea World announced today that they were going to lay off more than three hundred people. Yesterday, C.E.O. Jim Atchison resigned. It must be terrible to get a pink slip at Christmastime.

But Daryl Hannah could give a fuck about a poor Sea World employee. She tweeted today, "awesome!!! -the power of information & cinema - after @blackfishmovie sea world spirals down." What a selfish, spiteful person.

For the record, I don't like that Orcas are kept in captivity, and offered a dismal habitat. We are stewards of nature, and the Orca is a noble creature that deserves better. But there are better ways to do things. You can work behind the scenes, quietly, and still effect change.

Someone with a net worth of a quarter of a billion dollars has more money than anyone could ever spend. There must be some emptiness in her soul if she needs to peddle vodka and derives glee from the destruction of a publicly-held corporation that spends millions on research.

Fuck Off, PETA. And fuck off Kathy Najimy, Steve Roggenbuck, Jordyne Runkel, and all the others morally preening on the #Emptythetanks hashtag. I live in San Diego. I like Sea World, and I support them with my dollars. For three hundred and eleven Sea World employees, all they got for Christmas is coal in their stocking, from people like Daryl Hannah, that have only coal in their hearts for them.
