Friendship Cove not animal friendly?

http://www.thestar.com/news/canada/article/1241961--marineland-animals-suffering-former-staffers-say

I am infuriated. I read the above link about the animals suffering at Marineland...and I want to vomit. The poor animals are suffering so much and it is not getting better. It is a case of neglect, and abuse. No one seems to be doing anything about it. The poor seals are losing their eyesight, the walrus is sitting by himself and not being stimulated whatsoever. Walruses are supposed to have at least 5 hours of human interaction a day. The dolphins are losing their skin, as well as reeling from chemical changes in the water. This is awful! A place shown on the commercials that it is a happy loving place where marine animals are able to live in captivity and thrive with the human interaction and pêrformances.

Something needs to be done...but no one will do anything or can do anything. There needs to be a protest and get those animals into a facility where they will be taken good care of, have enough staff to spend the time with them and make sure they feel safe and happy. I get why the staff decided to leave when they didn't agree with the way the animals were being treated...but the animals that counted on them to be there are now reeling from the fact that the one person who cared is now gone. And they have no idea why or what they did to send them away.

I feel really sick about this. It's just awful when people abuse animals. Very inhumane.
