Bindi Irwin A Sea World Sellout? PETA Claims ‘Blackfish’ Proves Her Deal Is Bad
Bindi Irwin is being attacked by PETA because of her support of Sea World in a new business relationship she just announced to the world. But is PETA correct that the documentary Blackfish is a good enough reason to attack Steve Irwin’s daughter?
In a related report by The Inquisitr, the Blackfish documentary supposedly unmasks Sea World as using and abusing animals for money. While Sea World has fought back against these allegations, and Dawn Brancheau’s family has criticized Blackfish as well, various celebrities have cancelled shows at Sea World and Disney even changed the ending of Finding Dory due to the film.
Recent photos of Bindi Irwin have shown just how grown up she has begun. Like her famous father, Bindi has been trying advocate causes for animals and wildlife in general:
“I’m so excited to be carrying on in dad’s footsteps and making sure that everything he worked so hard for continues for the generations to come. That’s why I’m thrilled to be empowering kids, because as kids we are the next generation, we’re the next voters, we’re the next decision-makers, and the next generation to really be changing the world.”
Bindi is often is featured with her mother, Terri, and her younger brother Robert on various shows. So when she discussed her Sea World deal with Good Morning America, corporate reps lined up to promote the education of the next generation:
“We are proud to partner with Bindi Irwin in a program that couples the world’s most incredible young conservationist with the passionate wildlife experts at SeaWorld. SeaWorld has been a global leader in education, conservation and animal care for 50 years. We are excited to join forces with Bindi as we continue to educate and encourage kids to take part in helping to save wildlife.”
PETA has a completely take on Bindi Irwin’s Sea World business relationship. They accuse her of being a sellout and exploiting animals… just like Steve Irwin:
“The Irwin family has been exploiting animals for years, so it comes as no surprise that Bindi has agreed to become SeaWorld’s latest shill. But plastering her face on SeaWorld’s website won’t cover up the fact that orcas, dolphins, and other animals are suffering in SeaWorld’s tiny tanks after being ripped from their families…. What millions have realized—through PETA’s massive campaign and the hit documentary Blackfish—is that SeaWorld is no place for anyone who truly cares about animals…. Bindi’s talk-show appearances are just a flimsy last-ditch effort by anabusement park hoping to make a buck.”
Do you agree with PETA that Blackfish is a good reason for why Bindi Irwin should not associate herself with Sea World?
How much do you think #SeaWorld had to pay Bindi Irwin to try to fix their image? #Notworking
