Judge declares Seaworld Whales are not Slaves

• Apple

  

  It's the first time a federal judge has heard arguments to possibly granting Constitutional rights to animals.
  

  PETA says the wild-captured orcas are enslaved by SeaWorld because they are held in concrete tanks against their will and forced to perform in shows at its parks in San Diego and Orlando, Fla.

  PETA = Joke

  If a whale was declared a slave. The same logic would apply to cats and dogs. IMO. PETA = GTFOWTS

  The judge didn't declare anything. He dismissed the case. Which he should have.

  PETA is stupid

  However, Seaworld did announce they would no longer ask Shamu to pick cotton on his off days.

  A dolphin calf, estimated at 9 months old, got a little unexpected attention Friday, Feb. 10, 2012, after being seen tangled in monofilament fishing line. SeaWorld Orlando's animal rescue team responded and captured the calf and its mother, removed the fishing line and then released the pair of dolphins. (Video provided by SeaWorld)
