I suppose this is an example of people voting with their wallets. An 84% drop is huge. I hope this is an example of how public opinion can reach a tipping point on an issue.

It's a drop in profits. It's not like attendance is that much off. Glancing at the report, attendance is down 1.6%, and they only seem to be concerned about their image having been hurt in California, not Florida or Texas.

Taken another way, this statistic could be taken to mean that SeaWorld is now spending freely to safeguard their fortress of cruelty.
