More Bad Vibrations for SeaWorld: The Beach Boys and Pat Benatar Bail
The bad vibrations from SeaWorld’s abuse of orcas are now reverberating throughout all its parks. The Beach Boys and husband/wife team Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo were slated to perform at Busch Gardens in Tampa. But as soon as they got wind of the fact that the park is owned by SeaWorld, they promptly canceled, wanting nothing to do with the abusement park.
Meanwhile, celebs and their followers are making sure that good vibrations for Blackfish are reverberating throughout Twitter:

I think they should release Tillikum back into the wild so he can tell the other orcas about how crazy humans are. #Blackfish

@peta2 after seeing Blackfish I really need to be part of shutting down Seaworld. How can I help?
