PETA UK (via Gloucestershire Live): "Morrissey writes to TUI demanding they stop selling trips to parks" (May 1, 2024)

He wrote: "TUI now has the dubious distinction of being the last major travel provider in the UK to provide a financial lifeline to these watery little hellholes. Contrary to your company tagline, the animals imprisoned at marine parks do not Live Happy.
"Anyone with a thinking bone in their body – or a drop of compassion – knows that not only does captivity kill the spirit of these imprisoned, intelligent, social beings, it often kills them."

He concludes his letter by asking: “Please will you find it in your heart – or realise that your business is tainted by these venues – and stop supporting these magnificent sea animals’ suffering?”

The full statement tends to surface eventually if there is one (edit: see above).

I dunno, I went to see the dolphins at The Aquarium in Boston and they seemed pretty happy, so did the penguins. I think they don't have dolphins anymore because of stupid whiners like Morrissey.

Training dolphins for captivity involves food deprivation, and captive dolphins experience stress and physical health problems as a result.

Well said, Morrissey. Sometimes it must feel like yelling into the wind but Moz is afraid of nobody. That's what makes the empty elite fear him.

Good move on Morrissey's part, his new management must be influencing him. Here he is sticking to something that will get him some positive press for a change.

At least they’re safe from gunships from Bergen.

And the dolphins replied, "shut up and self release your albums already, we're fine". Seriously, of all the calamities the world over, this is important??

Do you think they'll take notice of him? Really? Do you think they will?

They’ll notice but it’ll be the equivalent of getting a jury duty notice. Straight in the bin.

But… dolphins! Bergen! Love is on its way out and so on and so forth. Meat is murder.

Good movement, Morrissey! And please release BOT and WMTWD sono, hello Warner, Island, Parlophone, Atack Records, ETC, ETC, ETC, ETC, anyone! Everybody releases cd toda!

 

[The Wild Turkey]

Great to see Moz takin' fantastic actions on
behalf of the swimmin' critters!

 

[DaveC]

Watch Blackfish, if you haven’t already seen it.

Oh dear. Did you think the dolphins were happy because they were smiling ? They were not happy. How can you be so clueless?

Just think of all those poor miserable dolphins roaming the oceans in the wild when they could be happy in aquariums performing for fools like @Redacted.

 

[Redacted]

Morrissey is virtue signaling and the diehard are loving it

[Famous when dead]

He's been associated with campaigns, writing letters/statements and assisting PETA for about 22 years now.
They also had contact with him as far back as '85.
That's a pretty long-standing relationship.

I don’t want anything to be unhappy, unsafe, or unhealthy. I see his point and I do agree. I’m lucky that I’ve been able to interact with Dolphins in the ocean as they love to swim by the boat and jump in and out of the water. Now, they are really happy!! There is an Aquarium back home and they do have sharks and other huge monstrous looking things. I enjoy the turtles, starfish, stingrays, etc, but again we can find them in wild. Life would be okay without Aquariums.

What is that on Morrissey's head, algae?

I was wondering, too… looks like wet straw. Or a really bad AI job adding a missing quiff?

Maybe someone here knows the original photo, the shirt looks like from Word Peace tour times.
