Dodo Demands SeaWorld Answer Hate Mail

Ever try having a conversation with the bathroom wall? In a truckstop bathroom with foul graffiti written on it?

We didn’t think so.

Yet, PETA super-fans over at The Dodo are demanding SeaWorld do just that. Essentially demanding that SeaWorld respond to what consists of The Dodo’s thoughts about the marine park.

You see, leading up to the Super Bowl, GoDaddy released an ad online. The ad, which is an obvious spoof of the hugely popular puppy ads from Budweiser, features a puppy named Buddy who is lost and returns home only to realize he’s been sold via a website set up using GoDaddy.

Twitter and Facebook erupted with negative reactions to the ad citing the promotion of puppy mills and improper breeding.

GoDaddy began engaging those who tweeted at them about the ad. They explained their longtime work with animal shelters, volunteer efforts by GoDaddy employees and even noted that a loving family had adopted Buddy. It was by-and-large a rational conversation.

In steps PETA’s official mouthpiece, a web publication called The Dodo.

Seeing controversy, they took a shot at SeaWorld.

“Instead of doing what SeaWorld did to combat negative publicity – deleting Facebook comments, blocking people from their social media accounts and creating a “Truth Team” – GoDaddy is thanking people for giving them feedback.” wrote The Dodo.

Wonder if GoDaddy got any of the hate tweets or Facebook comments, err… sorry “feedback”, threatening arson and shootings?

Here’s is just a bit of the “feedback” SeaWorld has received that we could find with a quick search:

Wow!

The PETA posse at The Dodo can’t seem to understand why SeaWorld won’t respond to comments like these.

Normal people either ignore, delete, or report hateful and threatening comments like this. Not The Dodo. They demand SeaWorld say ‘Thank you for your feedback’.

After all, most of these people are PETA fans who read The Dodo.
