Tommy Lee Bans SeaWorld “Shamu Rocks” From Motley Crue Music
Written by Vegetarian Star on August 10th, 2012 in Animal Issues, Male Musicians.
Tommy Lee is no longer interested in hearing about the sex lives of the whales at SeaWorld. He just wants to make sure his music isn’t being played while they’re getting it on.
In a letter to John T. Reilly, President of SeaWorld San Diego, Lee asks that the marine park not play any Motley Crue music during any of its “Shamu Rocks” shows.
“Although we like to torture the human fans who willingly come to our shows, we don’t want to be a part of making innocent animals’ lives hellish,” writes Lee. “I’ve learned from my friends at PETA that these marine animals are very sensitive to sound, as they communicate by sonar, and loud noises mess with their most basic instincts and drive them more nuts than they already are when trapped in your tanks.”
Shamu Rocks is a show put on by SeaWorld that plays music in the background while the orcas are performing.
Lee points out that other organizations in the San Diego area have modified their business to become more animal-conscious. The Navy has realized that impact of loud noises on these creatures and changed the course of their ships heading into San Diego to avoid the migration habits of the animals.
