Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsWillie Nelson cancels Sea World concert because of petition from Change.org,
which I am proud to say I signed. The petition, as you may know, regarded Sea World's abuse and enslavement of killer whales, as recently depicted in the CNN special "Blackfish."
So happy to hear this news just now on CNN!

I had heard Willie did not say why he canceled, but he came out with it.
Score another for exposure of Seaworld animal exploitation.
