The City of San Diego has given SeaWorld a deadline of September 6 to pay the outstanding balance of their rent agreement going back to 2020 and the COVID pandemic.
In May 2023, the San Diego City Council the council voted in favor of filing a lawsuit. against SeaWorld 'as soon as possible.' if the past back rent, penalties and interest totaling more than $12 million wasn't paid.
"Despite publicly touting record revenues as recently as last week [May 2023], SeaWorld continues to refuse to pay the over $12 million they owe the City in past due rent, penalties and interest, said Council president Sean Elo-Rivera. ”While legal action should not be necessary, I am glad the City has drawn a line in the sand and is demanding SeaWorld pay us what they owe us, " San Diego City Council President Sean Elo-Rivera said in May.
SeaWorld's statement sent to CBS 8 said, “While as a matter of policy we don’t comment on potential litigation, we have enjoyed a long relationship with the City and remain hopeful that we can resolve this matter. We have partnered with the City for nearly 60 years - conducting thousands of animal rescues, numerous recycling drives and many other events. We also have paid more than $146 million in lease payments to the City of San Diego since 2010. We appreciate all the City has done and we look forward to addressing this situation.”

For all the people that are saying shut it down, Seaworld is not going anywhere. SeaWorld is a tourist magnet for San Diego

We will be better off if Biden turned this into a migrant homeless shelter.

Tourist magnet, money over Animal rights to be HAPPY , FREE, with their family in natural habitat? Absolutely not. Anything built on greed, money, over well being of any life on this planet now, in the New Age of Aquarius will crumble. It needs to be a balance, fair ,just , for all life. Highest Good of All. It will keep having a light shine on it, ( showing us all) what needs to be changed, while people " wake up" to this more than ever now. ( you see it happening world wide) The more they try to build from old ways of lies, control, manipulation, money over morals) greed, inhumane, the more wake up. It's in motion & will not stop. It's just the way it is, now, for this planet to balance things out, in right order. Divine order. As this planet has Been , (nature, animals, people, harmed ) deceived, harmed, in so many ways, the tides have shifted into a new way now , living in truth, with morals, integrity, from the HEART. all truths COME up to light to see what needs to be redone. In a NEW WAY, with LOVE. 🙏🏼✨️🐬🌈💜🌈🌎🌻💞💚☮️

@@HolymanofGodSDkeep the same energy for the San Diego zoo. The city PAYS THEM millions a year and the zoo doesn't even pay for renovations in Balboa. In fact, the city PAYS extra to fix the roads around the zoo too. The San Diego zoo is far worse.

These are not wild animals. They must be cared for. There's a Sea World in Orlando Florida. If they can stand the change in climate they'll likely remain imprisoned there. Should the one in San Diego close down for good.

@Starlight03690 10 ай бұрын

Yes. Close SeaWorld here! These beautiful unconditionally loving souls need to be FREE in non profit sanctuary, funded by county .

@JeffScott-1978 10 ай бұрын

Do you want them to be free or imprisoned in a non profit sanctuary? It can't be both. Again these are not wild animals. If they were set free they would not survive. San Diego needs the money Sea World owes as it is. The animals are the property of Sea World and they'll expect to be paid for their property. Rainbows, butterflies, and feel good vibes is all good in the comments. In the real world someone has to pay for things.@@Starlight03690

Homeless shelters need to be in an appropriately zoned part of town. You can't just stick a bunch of drugged out destitute bums in an area with valuable real estate on the waterfront. Build a shelter with the money. Just not where Sea World is.
