Just posting in case people were not yet aware.

Can you provide more information please?

Regardless what this petition is about, Disney is a private entity and like much of social media and internet, totally meaningless in that regard.

Internet petitions, for the most part, are roughly as effective as going out into your backyard at midnight and shouting your wishes at the moon.

Basically they want the dolphins released.

Shouldn't this be in the communities board?

The key phrase is in bold. And it is true. But change.org is a pretty big operation that is well funded. I wouldn't say that their efforts equate to howling at the moon at midnight. More like shouting with a megaphone at 3:00 p.m. in a public park. May or may not make a difference. But more impactful than most run-of-the-mill "petitions to nowhere."

WDW has not had a propaganda film made about them yet in that regards. Although "Blackfish" may have had a few valid points many of the interviewed "experts or scientists" were just animal rights activists.

But when I was a kid, Disney told me that if my heart is in my dream, no request is too extreme! Anything my heart desires will come to me.

Did they tell me the truth?

Their tactics and accuracy can be debated from now until the end of time. But in the end, they got what they wanted. To some, the Boston Tea Party was a bunch of criminals guilty of breaking and entering, theft, criminal mischief, and a host of other crimes. To others, they started a movement that changed the world. I'm sure that the Blackfish people consider themselves to be the latter.

Well, I figured if it blew up to be a big deal and people wanted to attend, they had probably go sooner rather than later, hence theme park attractions and strategies. Anyway, I see it's being refurbished so going now is not an option.

I'm not sure how to post links with my phone, so I did not add one. I figured those who may want to know more would Google it.
