According to The Baddest Chick, the animal rights organization<\/a> issued a letter requesting her to cancel scheduled performance. PETA made the claim that SeaWorld\u2019s alleged animal abuse practices. Trina told VIBE<\/a> that the PETA team was \u201caggressive\u201d with their request. After conducting research and dialogue with SeaWorld, Trina would still perform<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

PETA would contact the media to refute the Miami rap star\u2019s aggressive claims this week. They denied Trina’s aggressive claim. The organization set the record straight, sending the actual letter the rap star received ahead of her performance.<\/p>\n

Written by PETA\u2019s Delanie Fischer, the letter reads as follows:\u00a0<\/p>\n

Trina\u2019s SeaWorld Letter From PETA<\/strong>

I hope you\u2019re doing well. We noticed that you\u2019re scheduled to perform at SeaWorld San Diego\u2019s Summer Concert Series, and we wanted to inform you about the incredible impact you can make by reconsidering this collaboration.<\/p>\n

SeaWorld is a company infamous for its cruel treatment of marine mammals, and so many artists\u2014including Jason Derulo<\/a>, Willie Nelson, Barenaked Ladies, and Cheap Trick\u2014have refused to perform there, taking a stand against animal abuse. It\u2019s not too late to join them, as one of the artists who are making history in the animal welfare space.<\/p>\n

At SeaWorld, orcas and other dolphins are confined to tanks that, to them, are no bigger than bathtubs, depriving them of the vast ocean environment they\u2019re meant to roam. These highly intelligent and social animals often exhibit severe stress and frustration, gnawing at concrete walls and floating listlessly due to their unnatural conditions.<\/p>\n

While SeaWorld stopped breeding orcas after intense public backlash, 18 orcas are still suffering in their tanks, and the company continues to forcibly breed other dolphins and whales (which involves forcibly impregnating them, and often drugging them first), ensuring a cycle of suffering. More than 40 orcas have already died at SeaWorld from causes such as severe trauma, intestinal gangrene, and chronic cardiovascular failure\u2014most far short of their natural life expectancy.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re campaigning for these animals to be moved to seaside sanctuaries, where they can finally feel the ocean\u2019s currents\u2014many for the first time in their lives. You have the power to make a real difference.<\/p>\n

Your commitment to stay away from SeaWorld, until they no longer hold animals captive, would save lives. Can we count on you to cancel your performance?<\/p>\n

Thank you so much for your time and consideration.<\/p>\n
