Get those owners jailed. Those poor animals deserve better.

It makes me wonder whether cleaning the park was something they already decided to do or whether it's being done because they're trying to stay in business. The world may never know

Suddenly, now that there's an impending threat to close the park, they decide to overhaul and improve everything, but not when there was only the general public complaining about the conditions? 🤔

[@ShantalhaitianPrincess]

um do they really care about the animals or did they send the inspectors out to shut down the park by any means necessary to get more land for their inverter/developer friends

[@patriciagurwitz509]

Seems a little too late for the Miami Seaquarium to be making these changes now🤬Close it down and free these poor animals being used for greedy profit‼️

It's certainly an irresistible location for high-rise corporate skyscraper buildings, condos, and brand-name shops.
Lots of money 💰 to be had from abundantly oil rich Middle East countries like say...Qatar?

A little late for a lot of animals. They were careless until the eviction notice. They need to go for animal welfare.

The whole idea of such a facility is ridicules. Florida is blest with so much access to natural marine environment what’s the point of placing animals in captivity to begin with. Go to the beach and snorkel, scuba dive, go out to the parks.

the public should free these animals... and close this animal unfriendly Facility

This is insane. Most of its critics have never been there. Those people do their best and those animals are treated fine. Many are rescues ffs. Every zoo has sick animals and accidents. We are going to lose one of best things in Miami and a chance to appreciate animals all because of some empty headed know nothing self righteous lunatics.
