PETA has sent an official letter to InBev the multinational conglomerate that just bought out Anheuser-Busch, claiming that they have an anonymous donor with extremely deep pockets that wants to purchase at least one of the SeaWorld theme parks in order to free all the captive marine animals. PETA says that the park would not be closed and the animals would be replaced with virtual-reality or animatronic displays. While we applaud PETA for their balls on this one, and we do think it is evil to keep large and intelligent marine mammals in relatively small enclosures for the amusement of fat type-2 diabetics and their bedwetting hyperactive children, but virtual-reality and animatronic displays? Forget all the early 1990 pre-internet sci-fi talk, just free the animals and turn the place into a hippie theme park.

Their anonymous donor is going to need really deep pockets. SeaWorld could be worth $5 or 6 Billion. SeaWorld Ohio--formerly the shittiest SeaWorld--was sold at a fire sale in 2001 for $110 million.
