Concerning SeaWorld: A response.... Well, ummm

SeaWorld has finally responded to PETA's multiple allegations. Although, I'm not sure how thoroughly they've tackled the complaints. PETA filed multiple complaints concerning their keeping of killer whales, after the release of Blackfish. Thus far SeaWorld has declined to answer- I wonder why... If they are truly innocent why haven't they rebutted sooner? Isn't that just COMMON SENSE????

If you've been falsely accused of something, what would you do? Sit back and watch as the situation tumbles out of control? Would you sit idle as more and more people are drawn against you? Well unless you are insane or ARE ACTUALLY GUILTY of the charges pressed, you'd speak up. Would you not?

So why is it that SeaWorld is only now responding? In the past few days (there is a post up already), PETA filed another complaint. Eager bunch. This time their allegations spanned across the board, they claimed that multiple cetaceans, and a walrus were exhibiting both physical and mental trauma. Now SeaWorld, has finally decided that's enough. They say, that they tried to keep quiet and wait till it blew over, tried to wait until the masses saw the truth. Really? Is that really the reason? Or is this just a convenient way to rebut? If this particular allegation is in fact incorrect, SeaWorld can now claim that, whilst indirectly trying to dispute PETA's other complaints without directly addressing them. Just an idea. It may or not be true.

Why has SeaWorld been silent for so long?

Personally, I believe both parties need to sit down and have a long, heartfelt conversation. One on one. With some individually wrapped chocolates to break the ice.
