BendiNewsTest: Could WA’s proposed ban on orca captures end marine parks forever?

Hi,

This page is currently being developed. This page checks Sustainability Blogs and RSS News Feeds for new content and posts it to here each day. The aim is to share information related to sustainability which is relevant to people living in Central Victoria while also providing a channel for international sustainability information. I am just discovering the Internets information sharing potential. I'd like to help other not so tech savvy people learn how to find interesting and new Sustainability info. Please tell me your favorite blogs or news sources and I will add them to the list.

Thanks

Could WA’s proposed ban on orca captures end marine parks forever?

Killer whales in the entertainment industry have been the source of heated controversy for some time. In Washington state, lawmakers are now discussing the possibility of implementing a ban on the capture of the majestic sea creatures for the purpose of entertainment. More than half of the approximately 455 orcas captured for entertainment originated in Washington state, so a ban like this would send a dramatic message to water parks like SeaWorld, where killer whales are a popular (and highly criticized) attraction.
