We will outline some recent developments that have brought Marineland’s harmful practices to light and how you can help.
The controversial new Netflix documentary, Seaspiracy, takes viewers on filmmaker Ali Tabrizi’s quest to understand the harm being done to our oceans, and what the real causes of this damage are. Tabrizi quickly learns that the greatest threat to marine life is, in fact, commercial fishing. Whether large scale fishing could ever be done “sustainably” is doubtful, and in any event it is far more ethical to eat a plant-based diet.
An overview of what was and was not found in a new study on diet and the severity of COVID-19 infection. Plant-forward eating is associated with better outcomes.

People often demonstrate an understanding that eating animals is unethical and unsustainable, but choose to do so, giving various reasons to rationalize this decision. This is an example of cognitive dissonance, the mental discomfort that results from holding two conflicting beliefs. In many cases of those who eat meat, the conflicting beliefs are “I love and care for animals” and “I eat meat”. This version of cognitive dissonance is often referred to as the “meat paradox” – in short, I don’t want to harm animals, but I eat animals.
