Rocker, feminist icon and animal-rights advocate Joan Jett isn't happy about SeaWorld's breeding program.
Rock legend Joan Jett plans to question SeaWorld's ongoing practice of breeding marine mammals in its parks during the company's Monday annual shareholder meeting. At the virtual event, Jett will disparage the park's continued breeding of dolphins and beluga whales on behalf of the animal rights group PETA.
PETA shared Jett's question to the theme park chain's executive group ahead of the gathering. Her inquiry paints a negative image of the program before calling on SeaWorld — which has operated a San Antonio park since 1988 — to end the practice. "SeaWorld has caused public outrage by continuing to forcibly breed bottlenose dolphins and beluga whales in order to create generations of animals who then suffer in cramped tanks, deprived of any semblance of a natural life. In the park’s breeding program, unwilling female dolphins are taken from the water and sometimes even drugged so they can’t fight back while SeaWorld staff thrust tubes filled with semen into their uteruses," Jett is expected to say.
