SeaWorld Is Just Sad

The modern perception of attractions like SeaWorld makes it easy to realize why the place is overrated. Even if you were to discount the inherent guilt you feel by attending and watching the shows, knowing the conditions that these wild animals are kept in, there are also outrageous prices for both tickets and food. Coupled with the fact that the company itself has also been struggling more and more, as people have become more aware of the way the captive orcas are treated, the prices are likely only to go up.

SeaWorld is more than likely on its way out, following many other novelty aquariums that went under thanks to people's lack of support for keeping marine animals captive. It might even be for the best.
