SeaQuest advertises itself as an affordable option for family-friendly entertainment in Las Vegas, encouraging local schools to schedule student field trips and local parents to buy annual passes.
But the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) just conducted an undercover investigation at two SeaQuest facilities — including the one here in Las Vegas. The animal welfare organization says you need to see what they found before spending your money to support a place they call dangerous, unsanitary and inhumane.
“We had a lady stand on one with her stiletto heels.”
The above quote is from a SeaQuest Las Vegas employee who is talking about a customer who stepped on and killed a parakeet inside the aviary where guests pay an extra fee to be immersed in a feeding frenzy.
“The parakeet enclosure particularly is what staff and the investigator described as a death trap because they are all fighting for the small amount of food and resources that are there,” said HSUS Nevada State Director Rebecca Goff.
