Miami – At the moment, in an ironic transfer mirroring that of the wrongful detention of marine mammals contained in the Miami Seaquarium, PETA supporter Juan Endara was wrongfully detained by Miami-Dade County police throughout an illustration urging Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava to close down the Miami Seaquarium and let the animals go. Endara was utilizing a megaphone, which is permitted for political protests, however police knowledgeable him that he couldn’t use one and handcuffed him after he disagreed. Endara was later launched with out being booked.
Under, please discover a assertion from PETA Government Vice President Tracy Reiman:
Somebody calling right now on the mayor to close down the Miami Seaquarium due to rampant cruelty was held in opposition to his will, very similar to the dolphins confined to the abusement park’s crumbling, decrepit tanks. Police acknowledged their mistake and set him free, and PETA is asking on the Miami Seaquarium to acknowledge its “mistake” in wrongfully detaining these marine mammals and launch them to respected amenities to dwell out their lives.
