what the hell is the government doing about this ? if I lived nearby I`d be there kicking some ass . please let us know what is going to happen !

This video was made in October 2012 and the story evolved since then.
Several campaigns were done on INDIEGOGO (see link n°1 below) during 2013 to raise some funds (for the park and for legal defense) but Philip Demers still need 45,600+ signatures for his petition on change.org (see link n°2 below).

Lotsa news stories on this place across the web.
The owner John Holer, seems like a greedy, money hungry slob, w/ no moral values.

Personally, I see no problem w/ keeping animals in captivity as long as they are treated well. Just ask my Wiener dog, who has her very own family of humans to wait on her hand and foot.

MarineLand however... This place should be shut down. I hope the protesters win their campaign.

Seems to me that Canada's government, or animal protection department has no teeth. This would never be allowed to happen in the UK! As soon as this became news it would be sorted, jobs would be lost and the slob who runs this place would be in hiding for his wellbeing. Come on CANADA get your act together!!!! Mind you thinking about it Seal clubbing is your national sport

#2 Thank you for the petition link, signing it was the least I could do after watching this video. I hope this guy is successful in his quest for life because these animals deserve it.

Before stating anything, I want to commend and thank you for the courage necessary needed to publish this horrific ongoing tradgedy. I'm literally sick to my stomach, empathizing and sympathizing with these majestic creatures. Again so often "man" feeling superior to all other life forms has the audacity to exploit these animals regardless of the acute, ongoing agony they must endure behind bars and cement walls- only having the all mighty dollar in focus. This is disgusting and I am appalled anyone could continue watching the mental and physical health of ALL sea lions, walruses, dolphins etc having to exist @ MARINELAND. There aren't enough words nor time, this clip says everything in spades. Unbelievable truly utterly sickened as I continue trying to process the video I just watched. Hope and pray this clip and those brave to speak for those unable to speak for themselves goes viral via social media, word of mouth whatever. This must stop, mankind disgusts me and I feel shame feeling responsible only due to the fact I too am only human. Thank you again for sharing the audacious, slow torture ongoing for gate admission to make these pigs wealthy. Crazyhorse

Some people... should be locked away in a very small room with 1 glass of water and a piece of bread once a day, and live in their own filth and only once a year be let out and asked if they wanna change?

I would kill the owner of this place in a heartbeat.

Thanks #2 i signed the petition.

poor sea doggo...

People that treat animals like that deserve the worst.
