When they make "Black Tarantula" and paint you to look like an animal exploiting villain who sends innocent insects to a painful death all for your own entertainment at watching your captive enslaved spiders eating them alive, will you then campaign to end tarantula ownership?Did you feel this way about orcas in captivity before you were emotionally manipulated by the lies told in that film? How many people would know the first thing about orcas and other sea life, if not for SeaWorld?If this sounds like I'm coming on a little strong, I am. Sitting back and letting these people take our rights away has been a failing strategy for far too long. We need to speak up and speak out against these liars and extremists, before our kids and grandkids are forced to grow up with no animals in their lives.</blockquote>
