Vigil for Katina, SeaWorld's latest victim

Join local activists and PETA supporters for a vigil and SeaWorld protest in honor of Katina the orca, who died in captivity at SeaWorld Orlando on Sunday, 12/21. After being ripped away from her pod in the waters off Iceland in 1978, Katina was confined to small concrete cells for life; SeaWorld then used her as a breeding machine and forced her to bear seven calves—four of whom are already dead. She sustained a serious dorsal fin injury from incompatible tankmates she couldn’t escape, and now Katina has died in her prison.

Please wear all black as this is a vigil/memorial for Katina.
SeaWorld’s business model is built on the suffering of intelligent, social animals. The abusement parks enslave animals in tiny, concrete tanks and force dolphins, orcas, and other animals to perform tricks in exchange for food. Many die far short of their natural lifespans.

Help urge the public to steer clear of SeaWorld and force the business to transition the animals to coastal sanctuaries, where they can have a better life.

WHEN: Tuesday, December 23, from 3 PM to 5 PM
WHERE: SeaWorld, 7007 Sea World Dr., Orlando, FL 32821 Advocates will gather at the main entrance near the SeaWorld sign along Central Florida Parkway (See this map: https://maps.app.goo.gl/3NgbL1AkmWKgbsq96)
Contact: Carla at [arffcentralfl@arff.org](mailto:arffcentralfl@arff.org)

All materials (such as posters and leaflets) will be provided. Please dress sharply in a black PETA t-shirt and black bottoms, as this will help our message come across much stronger!

Please refrain from bringing dogs, as there may not be shade or a safe place for them to lie down during the protest.
Outreach events are an effective way to help animals as well as meet local advocates, so be sure to invite others!
