We spoke with a senior manager at WWF UK this morning who confirmed that WWF USA are still in partnership with SeaWorld. We asked if WWF UK would state their position on this partnership and if they would be addressing the issue of cetacean captivity, as well as the partnership itself, with WWF USA, following growing public concern. We did not receive an immediate response but were assured that someone would be in touch to answer our questions soon. Our call wasn't the first made to WWF UK this morning regarding their partnership with SeaWorld. Many of you have already been contacting WWF to express your concerns. If you would like to politely add your voice to this issue, please get in touch with your national WWF branch.
