I’ll stir the pot a bit.


As a kid I had been to Marineland and later Sea World. I had also been to Flippers Sea School in the Keys and it is still around it appears

Flippers was real ocean with a large area compared to the aquariums. I want to say they actually allowed them outside the nets and they went from pen to pen. It was along time ago.

I’m not a big fan of captive sea animals. Although I enjoy them immensely.

As a former parrot owner, i’m Also opposed to ever putting a bird in captivity at home and at bird parks. Birds should always be free. Although I do enjoy looking at them immensely, it is wrong to deprive a bird of free flight just the same as it is a whale or dolphin free swim.

The same can also be said of many zoo animals and their enclosures.

So, I know a lot of folks enjoyed the bird park on SXM..........unfortunately IMHO iit’s no different.

Should we not start a petition against any enclosed animal/bird park on SXM.
