A Sea Lion Died in This Traveling Act: Help End the Exploitation!

UN LAB Middleware Label: Title Ends

A tiny above-ground pool is the largest body of water these sea lions will ever see.

This is the cruelty of Sea Lion Splash, a business that trucks sea lions across the country and forces them to perform tricks for rowdy crowds. A similar business exploits sharks and stingrays in a mobile exhibit, letting fairgoers stick their hands into their tanks. 😡 Everything about these businesses is shady, and the lack of care costs lives: In 2022, a sea lion died after getting cut by exposed screws and sharp edges in their tank!

Sea Lion Splash recently got more sea lions and seals from the hellish Miami Seaquarium that closed in 2025 after a years-long PETA campaign. These animals are set up to suffer unless we do something—please urge venues to stop hosting acts that exploit sea lions, sharks, and stingrays! 🚨

Message to {contact_data~firstName} {contact_data~lastName}:

Please reconsider hosting traveling acts like Sea Lion Splash that deny ocean-dwelling animals everything that is natural to them. Sea Lion Splash has received multiple citations for violating the Animal Welfare Act, including failing to provide adequate veterinary care and space and confining animals in dangerous conditions. One sea lion died after suffering injuries sustained in a dilapidated tank.

Other exhibitors cart sharks and stingrays across the country and confine them to cramped trailers and shallow pools, bodies of water that are wholly inadequate for animals who would naturally spend their entire lives exploring miles of the vast ocean each day. This is no life for a wild animal.

Sea lions, sharks, and stingrays belong in the ocean, not a fair midway or carnival backlot. When you book any of these exhibitors at your venue, you are directly contributing to these animals’ misery.
