Misled


I trusted you. I believed you. Too bad it was all false. How could you? you made me believe that what you said was real, accurate, and perfect. But I guess everything that claims to be "perfect" has a dark side. I can't believe that my eyes were opened this way, a documentary had to open my eyes and show me that you misled me, you lied not just to me, but thousands others. Families, children, teens, adults, shall I continue? yet when I wanted to express my feelings you "blocked" me. I was hurting, don't you get it? I was hurting on the inside to see that I contributed to hurting my favorite animals. I was hurting knowing that I gave my money to things like abuse and separating a mother whale from her baby. I can't believe how low you got. All those actions? like capturing perfectly healthy baby whales from their families? making them go through all those emotional and physical restraints? But, don't worry, I'm not as fragile anymore. As a matter of fact, I'm done with you. I'll never come back. You have proven yourself that you can't handle a situation too well. I mean you insulted all those "radical activists" and told them how wrong they were. But who do you think you are to tell them that they're wrong? When you yourself have no idea how to take care of a creature that in a way is like us. Your going around trying to justify your actions, but it isn't helping your image is it? of course not.! All you care about is your blood money, and you don't care HOW you get it, as long as you get it. All those lives that were lost? not just animals, but human lives? all because of your carelesness? and yet, you act as if it's normal. How disgusting. Now, I look at you with different eyes. I'm not naiive anymore, I know better. But you still won't surrender will you? no, no, now you started attacking the one source that even YOU can't stop. The movie. The movie that has caused damage to you. The documentary that revealed all your dirty secrets. If it's as "misleading" and "untrue" as you make it sound, than why are you working overtime to justify 50 years of work? why haven't you sued? if there is false information like you claim, than you have the right to sue for recourse, but you haven't. And you're not going to, because in the process you would unveil even more secrets and well..we would all know what would happen. How pitiful. I've been misled, and you don't care. All you care about is the green paper that I bring in. Well no more. If you won't listen to me, or the thousands others that WANT to make a difference, than you will no longer see my face, if you do, it would probably be outside YOUR doors complaining. I can't believe you misled me, and now I feel used. Do you have a moral consicous? people are leaving, saying no, and yet you don't give up! fighting a losing battle. I want to say that I feel bad, but I think it's a little too late for that. I've been misled and nothing else. And I'll say the one word that I know makes you tremble: BLACKFISH. The one film that brought you down, the one film that makes you panic, the one film that I know you know hurts you. The one that's been seen by 600,000 people and more. This entire time I've been misled by an entertainment park.
