Everyone’s Sitting in Bathtubs for Latest Quarantine Challenge—Here’s Why
While some people in self-isolation are binge-watching Tiger King and making masks from underwear, others are posting pictures from their bathtubs. In a trending challenge sweeping the quarantined world, people are sitting in bathtubs to call out SeaWorld for imprisoning animals for life in the equivalent of a bathtub.
So while some of us might be going a little stir-crazy these days, that’s nothing compared to the suffering of animals trapped at SeaWorld. Orcas there swim in endless circles and even break their teeth by gnawing in frustration on the concrete corners and metal bars of their cramped tanks. Dolphins are being impregnated, sometimes forcibly after being drugged, and 140 of them are packed into just seven small tanks.
Check out some of the creative ways people are using their bathtubs to speak up for the animals imprisoned at SeaWorld.
