SeaQuest aquariums all over the country are plagued by animal welfare issues, animal deaths, legal violations, and injuries to employees and to the public from direct contact with the animals. SeaQuest continues to be hit with animal neglect allegations, often from former employees, and it is notorious for exploiting animals for entertainment. In July 2020, a 1-year-old sloth named Flash died at SeaQuest’s facility in Las Vegas, Nevada. Flash was very thin when he died and had a history of weakness, twitching, and lack of appetite. PETA asked the USDA to investigate the circumstances that led to his death, including whether SeaQuest could adequately care for this species. Just nine months later, in April 2021, another sloth named Flash died under similar circumstances at SeaQuest Las Vegas. The second Flash had only been at SeaQuest Las Vegas for five months before he died. The necropsy documented that he had been found “minimally responsive on the floor” and had “developed twitching behavior” and lack of appetite-similar symptoms to those displayed by the first Flash, who died just seven months after his arrival at SeaQuest. When one sloth died at SeaQuest, the company simply got another, gave him the same name, and let him suffer the same fate. A former SeaQuest employee alleged that SeaQuest Las Vegas withheld food from animals to force them to interact with guests who pay to feed them. After a female otter died in May 2018, the necropsy report stated that “[t]he stress of shipping to Vegas, introduction to a new environment and caging during construction may have caused fatal cardiac consequences.” Another otter named Jelly drowned after getting her arm stuck in a filtration system. SeaQuest Las Vegas admitted that it had never reported the incident to CCAC. A February 2019 three-part investigative report exposed several issues with the SeaQuest Las Vegas exhibit, as described by five former employees who alleged that the facility is dangerous for the public, staff, and animals: 1) One former employee reported that children stomped on birds in the interactive aviary, killing them, and that the dead animals were thrown into the garbage, reportedly to prevent SeaQuest from having to document their deaths. 2) Another former employee reported a similar pattern with small turtles, some of whom were crushed by children. “I think they started with 12. By the time I left they had three,” he said. 3) A former employee also reported that a large octopus was “literally cooked alive” after a change in the tank’s temperature overheated the water. 4) According to reports, the former employees also provided videos and photos of “a sump room wall covered in black mold, a dead turtle they say was left to rot for days in the koi tank, and a bug-infested drain in the aviary where they say birds drank and bathed before interacting with guests.” In 2017, a former employee came forward with reports of apparent animal neglect at SeaQuest Las Vegas, saying that he saw hundreds of animals die. In 2019, Clark County Animal Control (CCAC) cited SeaQuest Las Vegas, fined it $2,000, and revoked its exotic-wildlife permit for possessing unpermitted animals, including illegally bred otters. CCAC subsequently reissued the permit but with stricter conditions. In October 2018, a capybara escaped while being transported in a dog carrier in the back of an open truck bed. The animal was found badly injured, bleeding from the face and limping, reportedly in a Target parking lot. SeaQuest was cited and fined for the incident.

Bro what is that s

In 2019, Clark County Administrative Services suspended SeaQuest's exotic-animal permit because the facility held unpermitted otters and coatimundi. The agency imposed a $2,000 fine due to an Asian small-clawed otter dying after being caught in a water pool filtration system, and imposed an additional $2,000 fine for unpermitted animal breeding of Asian small-clawed otters. In 2018, a capybara named Wesley escaped while en route to a veterinary office and was injured in the process

The saddest part of watching this video is people’s ignorance about animal behavior, animal rights, and animals’ trampled dignity for the sake of business...how disrespectful for a wild animal who had no choice but to remain indoors inside a mall 24/7. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 Please do not support this business and its owners who have had a chain of problems with the law for animal abuse and false advertisement.
