Well, the source says it is. And other sources have a still photo of the trainer in the water with the whale. This is something SeaWorld says is against policy.
They have to, because they are about to enter the murky waters of Lawyer World.
Sea World was decent when the Busch family owned Budweiser. I am not sure if Am Bev still owns it after they bought Bud. This stuff is crap. The animals should be free.
Reminds me of our captivity in ObamaLand.
