(AP) — SeaWorld on Friday posted ads in a handful of newspapers around the nation in response to a critical documentary that inspired eight musical acts to cancel performances at the company's Orlando marine park. Both the ad and open letter on its website, www.seaworldcares.com , describe SeaWorld as an advocate for animals and detail efforts to rescue and care for marine animals. On Friday, SeaWorld spokesman Fred Jacobs said in an email: "We did the ads because there was a great deal of dishonesty and misinformation in the online discussion of SeaWorld over the last several weeks, and we felt an open letter was the best way to provide the truth about SeaWorld."
