Enough of the Disrespectful Sea World Jokes

By on February 25, 2010 in General Interest, Society

A rare rant from me but I have to get it off my chest. On behalf of science and scientists can we please chill with the Sea World wise cracks? Zoos and aquariums – including their entertainment venues – are the only way most people are going to learn about the natural world and the animals that populate it. Fewer people will go hiking and camping than will go to a nice tourist attraction such as Sea World to learn and be wowed by nature’s wonders.

That’s not to mention the fact that you’re subtly discouraging amazing career options for young people who read your posts and comments. Watching a documentary pales in comparison to seeing these great creatures up close with your own eyes so let’s be respectful please.

End of rant. Rest in peace Dawn Brancheau, Sea World trainer.

Amazon Affiliate Recyclable Packaging Tip

I recently sold an ink cartridge on my Amazon Affiliate account and packed it in a little shoe box wrapped in plastic shopping bags.

That’s the way to recycle baby! Customer bought cartridge (recylcable) and I sent him shopping bags (can recycle as lunch bags, as packaging or once finally as trash bags in his house).
