Animal rights activists showed up at City Hall on Monday, Jan. 27, to protest a proposed settlement with SeaWorld that would require the theme park to pay the city $8.5 million in back rent that went unpaid during the pandemic.
PETA, which has long been critical of SeaWorld for its treatment of killer whales and dolphins, has filed a formal objection in federal court to the settlement, which it calls a “sellout.” The group says the payout falls short of the more than $12 million in back rent, late fees and interest the city had originally sought.
