2018-01-09 Carole Baskin’s Diary
Today is yet another historical milestone for FL wildlife!
The Animal Legal Defense Fund just emailed this to me:
Florida’s 2018 legislative session begins January 9, and the Animal Legal Defense Fund is gearing up to make history for orcas. On Friday, January 5, Representative Jared Moskowitz introduced HB 1305, the Florida Orca Protection Act, which aims to ban breeding captive orcas and end the cycle of captivity for these intelligent creatures.
This law will codify SeaWorld’s recent policy and promises — and hold other facilities to the same standards. We must ensure that SeaWorld doesn’t go back on their word, especially with regular rumors of changes in park ownership.
What is so amazing is that Florida’s legislature has long cowered before the FWC’s assertion that they are the top of the food chain when it comes to deciding any matter that involves wild or exotic animals. I plan to send a considerable donation to Representative Jared Moskowitz for taking the time to consider the fact that the FWC is wrong and that it is up to the citizens of Florida to decide how wild animals should be treated in our state.
Hi, I’m Carole Baskin and I’ve been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views. These are my views and opinions. If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story. The titles are the dates things happened. If you have any interest in who I really am please start at the beginning of this playlist: http://savethecats.org/
I know there will be people who take things out of context and try to use them to validate their own misconception, but you have access to the whole story. My hope is that others will recognize themselves in my words and have the strength to do what is right for themselves and our shared planet.
