Paramount Pictures: Take SeaWorld's Animal Cruelty Out Of The Anchorman 2 Movie

by George Burkhardt


I recently watched the new trailer for the movie Anchorman 2. I enjoy movies including the original Anchorman, but it's because I love animals even more that I will not see this sequel. The trailer clearly shows a scene filmed inside SeaWorld and numerous media reports back this up. I will not support SeaWorld's animal cruelty, and I am surprised that co-producers Will Ferrell, Judd Apatow, and Adam McKay are excited to promote a business with such an extensive history of poor treatment of animals ...

What I have against Seaworld really is the fact that after everything that has come out about the captive wildlife trade, they still insist on keeping orcas and dolphins working in their theme parks for entertainment and profit, not species conservation. Here are some very recent examples from this year. This is all aside from trainers who have been injured or died as detailed in many places including the documentary Blackfish.

-On August 25, 2013 a four year old female beluga named Bella died at SeaWorld in Texas.

-On August 6, 2013, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association denied a permit which would have allowed SeaWorld to display wild caught beluga whales at all three of its US locations. Included in their reasoning was "five of the beluga whales proposed for import, estimated to be approximately 1.5 years old at the time of capture, were potentially still nursing and not yet independent." ...

The Anchorman 2 movie will only help to boost the positive and misleading illusion of whales and dolphins in captivity. It is time to remove Seaworld's lies from the pop culture and keep exposing the truth. Being a movie fan, I know Will Ferrell and Judd Apatow can be funny without supporting animal cruelty.

he had so much talent. But this anchorman schtick is lame all the way around. Trying too hard. FAIL. What a waste of talent.

4. Will Ferrell ... WTF were you thinking!

Ron Burgundy vs. A Dolphin

Ron Burgundy is dumber than a dolphin. We’re at Sea World in San Diego on the very last day of filming for Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues and a coliseum of extras is watching Will Ferrell lose a fight with a sleek, gray bottlenose who – without training – dismisses his insults by blowing air out of her hole and swimming away.

It’s been ten years since San Diego became the home of “stay classy.” In the decade since, the city has become so grateful for the free publicity that they’ve been happy to shut down one of the city’s main attractions for a day so that director Adam McKay could film Burgundy’s drunken downfall getting booed off the stage of an aquatic show, all for Anchorman 2.

Not classy at all!

5. from The Cove:

1. Please urge Anchorman 2 producers to follow the lead of the filmmakers of Pixar's Finding Dory—who changed the film's ending after viewing the hard-hitting documentary Blackfish and learning about the cruelty inherent in keeping intelligent marine mammals captive in tiny tanks—and remove all scenes shot at the theme park from the film.
