On February 8, a federal judge said ‘no,’ stopping a historic case filed by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals against SeaWorld for violating the 13th Amendment on slavery. PETA filed the lawsuit in the U.S. PETA went on to request that the whales be freed and released to a habitat better suited to their needs.
