Well, it's on global news.. a dolphin family has been shot, dolphins' been abused. The bad boys got away, but they won't get far. Grandpappy told my pappy, back in my day, son, a man had to answer for the wicked that he done. Take all the rope, find a tall tree, round up all them bad boys, hang them high in the street for all the people to see that justice is the one thing you should always find. You got to saddle up your boys, you got to draw a hard line, when the gun smoke settles, we'll sing a victory tune. We'll all meet back at the local saloon, we'll raise up our glasses against evil forces, singing whiskey for my men, beer for my dolphins & horses. What would Willie do? Well, he'd take a deep breath and let it all go.. and another deep breath.. and he'd hold it. After learning about the dolphins' plight, Willie'd feel hungry in a way that seems strange.. Yeah, hungry for all the things he can't change. Willie will make the right decision about SeaWorld concert on Feb 1, 2014 after he breathes out, learns what is right and he will supply whiskey for his men and beer for his dolphins & horses. - Lyrics from Toby Keith & Gary Allan songs

I would ask, as a fan, that you watch the documentary Blackfish before you decide to perform at Seaworld Orlando on Feb. 15th for the Beer and Bands. As public figures, you have the potential to deliver a message, whether good or bad. In performing at Seaworld you would be communicating the disregard of the highly sentient, sensitive, family oriented creatures that are the Orcas and dolphins that are kept in captivity there, never to swim free again, to be used as incubators for future performers, and only to retire through their death. Barenaked Ladies were asked to view the documentary Blackfish, and have opted out of the performance line up for that day, and I would ask that you also watch this informative piece of filmmaking and follow suit.

Please do not promote SeaWorld's cruelty by performing there. Dolphins belong in the ocean not a tiny, sterile pool. Please watch Blackfish to understand how these sentient-beings suffer every day in confinement for exploitation. TY.

Please watch Blackfish before you perform at Seaworld. Do they represent you and your philosophy? Bare Naked Ladies said no way. http://blackfishmovie.com

I urge you to be the voice of the voiceless animals. Please don't help Sea World make more profits, they are exploiting and abusing these helpless captive animals and your performance there only helps to legitimize them. Please make a statement of support for the animals and cancel your performance there! Thank you

Cetaceans are Sentient Beings, have a more developed part of the brain than Humans for compassion, so more Sentient than we are, should not be slaves for our entertainment, please don't support their life of Hell.
