On August 6, 2015, SeaWorld in Orlando, Florida attendance has fallen by 2 percent the last quarter. The attendance keeps falling because animal activists are protesting against the way SeaWorld treats their whales. However, soon it will increase due to the creation of new rides (Associated Press, 2015). In July, 2015 the (FEC) released Donald Trump’s financial disclosure form and still who really knows what his net worth is. FEC forms were not made to handle the amount of wealth Trump has (Moneytips.com, 2015).
SeaWorld slowly decreasing attendance percent is a positive thing because that shows the company that they need to create new things to attract back their customers. The idea they have of creating new roller-coaster rides will do the
The corporate officials of SeaWorld used facts to convince viewers to believe their credibility instead of those of BlackFish by different logistic angles such as their many years of being in business. They stated in the website that in the more than fifty years SeaWorld has been in business, they have built a diversified portfolio of 11 destination and regional theme parks which proves they are a well-rounded corporation. They inform the viewer that their programs and practices are based solely on the wellbeing of the animals; “Our advanced programming applies a broad range of best practices based upon behavioral enrichment, preventive health, veterinary medicine and facilities design and management. Our programs and policies are affirmed by numerous federal and state laws, including the Animal Welfare Act, Endangered Species Act, Marine Mammal Protection Act and other statuses”(SeaWorld Website). They make it their priority to accommodate environmental, social and economic sustainability across the company and throughout their employee culture, which is a huge part of having a thriving business. With this aspect of the business, they show that they are reliable and a trustworthy corporation. They state in the website how they have over 21,000 team members nationwide, which appeals to how the crew members are treated across the country, otherwise they wouldn’t have any employees. They make many
that was spent there was probably really cool, but unfortunately SeaWorld is just one big lie.
SeaWorld opened on March 15, 1959 and has been a huge visitor attraction. Ever since the Blackfish documentary was released in 2013, SeaWorld dropped sales by 50% in the year 2014. Even though SeaWorld is still in business and training the orcas, I think SeaWorld should be closed down because of the whales’ health and the risks of the trainers.
SeaWorld is an abbreviation for the full title of the parks which is SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment. It aims to provide an exciting and unique family day out whilst making it enjoyable for both parents and children. The parks’ main attractions aside from the killer whales include dolphins, sea turtles and Californian sea lions to name a few. SeaWorld used to be owned
Have you ever been to Seaworld and looked at those cute little sea animals jumping around happily? Well, if you have been to Seaworld good, you should’ve seen the way the treat them. If you haven’t, even better, you’re not supporting Seaworld. Those animals aren’t actually happy, though. The way Seaworld captures their animals is terrifying, the young are taken away from their parents and hauled into nets! Seaworld shouldn’t be able to keep those sea animals, for example the animals have a never ending schedule, it is dangerous to keep them, and it is very expensive to feed and keep those animals healthy.
When you think of SeaWorld you think about the Orcas or otherwise known as the famous name “Shamu”. Shamu is one of the main attractions at SeaWorld, because Orcas have been around in Seaworld for 51 years. The first show started in 1966, known as Doctor Dolittle, and is finally ending in 2017 with the name One Ocean. These killer whale shows have been around for a long time with many different show names, including the special names they get during the spring and summer nights, like Shamu Rocks or another different name the show got when they celebrated the 50th anniversary of the show Shamu 's
Free the Whales? SeaWorld, the place where dreams come true or is there a side to SeaWorld that isn’t bringing children around the country joy? There is a great debate going around on whether or not SeaWorld should be forced to close its doors. Lawsuits, death, and lies don’t sound like things a normal parent would want their child to take part in.
The article “After SeaWorld, a ‘Blackfish effect’ on circuses and zoos?” discusses SeaWorld’s decision to no longer “housing killer whales,” and “ending its breeding program,” along with its effect on the world and the amount of animals in captivity. Following SeaWorld's announcement, circuses across the globe began to express their banishment of animals from the shows. A big one being Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus, who announced that “it would no longer tour with elephants.” Zoos had also stated they “have banned the use of the bullhook,” on elephants. However, Seaworld’s decision hadn’t just affected circuses and zoos, but the public also reacted with conflicted feelings. The article takes a shift to parents, who expressed their
I think keeping orcas in bondages isn't compassionate. To keep orcas in a zoo for show is satisfactory, however it is unfair to leave them for life in a water tank to stay there until they die. I saw the film Blackfish and now, I dislike SeaWorld. They think more about benefit than creature welfare. Keeping these conscious creatures prisoned for an expanded time causes them internal mental harm, as confirm by a few executioner whale assaults on coaches. SeaWorld Stimulation required a major explanation when the film 2013 narrative about a portion of the executioner whales, the most forceful one being Tilikum, a 12,500 pound male who assaulted two coaches. The film sparked many individuals to wake up and quit supporting, SeaWorld's three marine
Trump was born on June 14 1946, in Queens, New York. He attended the University of Pennsylvania. He began his career working for his father’s real estate company, Elizabeth Trump and Son in 1968 and in 1971 he took control of the company renaming it The Trump Organization. Since then the company has grown to be one of the largest real estate companies in the U.S. According to the October edition of Forbes, Trump’s estimated wealth is 4.5 billion, while the Bloomberg Billionaires Index estimated a net worth of 2.9 billion. Prior to his announcement that he was running for the GOP candidacy Trump released a statement to the media claiming he was worth over eight billion dollars. However his actual wealth is very hard to gauge, he declared in July 2015 that his net worth was ten billion dollars, but in July the Federal election regulators reported that his assets were worth approximately 1.4 billion and a debt of at least 265 million. Like so much about Donald Trump it is hard to tell what is real, what is embellished, what is misleading and what is an outright lie. There is a long held belief among people that politicians cannot be trusted, but where you have a candidate who, this early in the Presidential race is giving information to the public that is so contradictory to the
During the midst of SeaWorld’s backlash from the documentary tilted Black Fish, the company’s reputation has plummeted. This has prompted SeaWorld’s newly appointed CEO Joel Manby to develop a change management plan to focus on the orca’s health and gain back the trust of the investors and customers. For example, the stock and attendance at SeaWorld has plummeted drastically. According to the Times, “SeaWorld Entertainment has faced an 84% drop in net second-quarter income, from $37.4 million in 2014 to $5.8 million in 2015, in the second quarter. Revenue fell from $405.1 million to $391.6 million, a drop of 3%, in the second quarter of 2015 when compared to 2014. The park saw 100,000 fewer visitors than it did at the same time in
“Tonight, darling, we are going to right a lot of wrongs. And we are going to wrong some rights. The first shall be last; the last shall be first; the meek shall do some earth-inheriting. But before we can radically reshape the world, we need to shop" (Green 30). That is what Margo said to Quentin before they set off on her revenge plan to attack almost everyone that had betrayed her. Her "boyfriend", Jason, had cheated with one of her "friends", Becca, and "friends" that didn't tell her about Jason's defence with Becca. After her scheme with her "friends" is done they head to the Sun Trust building just to make sure that no cops were on their tails. Just for fun sakes, Margo pressures Quentin into taking her to "break and enter" at SeaWorld.
Over the years many former SeaWorld employees have spoken out about what goes on at SeaWorld behind closed doors. Sarah Fischbeck joined SeaWorld San Diego in 2007 as a water quality diver. Fischbeck worked at SeaWorld for 6 years. She worked across the parks exhibits, often diving with the animals and performing maintenance on multiple exhibits.
SeaWorld, known to be quite an abusive company when it comes to animal treatment and management, has given a refreshing performance in the recent rescue of several whales in California. SeaWorld crews this Saturday helped untie a humpback whale from fishing lines off the coast of La Jolla, San Diego.
Ocean Park is one of Hong Kong’s two major theme parks. Founded in 1977 by the Hong Kong government, Ocean Park has successfully positioned itself as Hong Kong’s “hometown” park and a one-stop, premier destination for entertainment, thrills, and education. Ocean Park exhibited strong financial performance in the past. However, in FY16, the park experienced an 18.8% drop in attendance which correlated to “a year-on-year decrease of 16.4% and 18.6% [for in-park revenue and admission revenue] respectively. ” This major reduction in park revenues is largely attributable to a reduction in Chinese tourism in Hong Kong. Nearly 50% of Ocean Park’s visitors are visitors from mainland China, exposing Ocean Park to a great deal of macroeconomic risk.
