Tommy Lee’s Letter to SeaWorld

A kick ass letter from this past December:

Dear Mr. Prather,
After learning about the bizarre way you breed killer whales, my friends at PETA and I are stumped about SeaWorld’s announcement that no people will ever again have direct contact with Tilikum, the orca who has killed three people including his trainer this year. We understand that you refuse to release this frustrated whale because he is your chief sperm bank, and we know from SeaWorld’s own director of safety (as well as videos on the Web) that the way you get his sperm is by having someone get into the pool and masturbate him with a cow’s vagina filled with hot water. Even during my wildest days with Mötley Crüe, I never could’ve imagined something so sick and twisted. How can SeaWorld claim that trainers no longer have direct contact with this whale when they are jacking him off? That is about as “direct” as it gets. I hope it doesn’t take another tragic death for SeaWorld to realize it shouldn’t frustrate these smart animals by keeping them in tanks.
Sincerely,
Tommy Lee
Mötley Crüe

(Thanks, Laura.)
