SeaWorld? No tanks. That’s the message actor Eric Balfour is sharing with fans in his first-ever PETA campaign, in which he’s speaking up for dolphins and whales imprisoned at SeaWorld.
Best known for his roles in the popular television series Six Feet Under and 24, Balfour is also a devoted animal advocate. And as if we couldn’t love him any more for supporting marine mammals, he’s also a proud #RescueDad to adopted dog Coconut, who makes frequent cameos on his Instagram feed and helps him promote #AdoptDontShop.
In a behind-the-scenes interview with PETA, Balfour calls out people who visit SeaWorld for playing a role in the torture that takes place at these abusement parks: “When you go to SeaWorld, when you go to one of these theme parks, it isn’t passive. You’re contributing to that animal’s torture. It is as cruel as you can imagine.”
When Balfour says “torture,” he’s not exaggerating. SeaWorld continues to cram 140 dolphins into just seven tanks, breeding them—sometimes forcibly after they’ve been drugged—and abusing them by allowing trainers to ride on their backs and use their faces as surfboards in circus-style shows. Some dolphins have been photographed with open wounds and scars on their faces, but SeaWorld continues to force them to perform these ridiculous, demeaning tricks.
Fans can frequently find him posting heartwarming #DadLife photos with his 1-year-old son, Oliver. As a devoted parent, Balfour knows the best thing for children is to show them how animals live in their natural environments—not behind the glass walls of a tank. “We want our kids to love and enjoy and embrace the oceans and all of the amazing creatures that are in it,” Balfour says. “Let ’em just see these incredible creatures in their natural habitat.”

Excellent photo by Lisa Skelton of one of Port Stephens' resident Inshore Bottlenose Dolphins getting high on a puffer fish🤪💙🐬. Reposted from @lisaskeltonphotography - Somedays, a dolphin watch can make you feel like you're sitting in the front row of a health and wellbeing class! During Saturday morning’s cruise, we spent time with a group of mums and calves travelling with a male alliance. As they travelled, one of the calves picked up a pufferfish and proceeded to carry and chew on the fish. The toxins of pufferfish are thought to cause a narcotic effect on the dolphin's brain, which could be likened to the effects of drugs like marijuana on our own. The dolphins don't eat or kill the pufferfish, they simply harass it enough to enjoy a little kick from the toxins. #wild #wildlife #aussie_images #ig_nature #ig_australia #ig_down_under #imaginecruises #portstephens #australia #australia_oz #seeaustralia #dolphins #loveportstephens #visitnsw #bottlenosedolphin #nature #notanks #marinelife #mynewcastle #ig_myshot #ig_naturelovers #ig_discover_australia #tourismnsw #canoncollective #wildandfree #naturephotography #wilddolphins #earthcapture #gettinghigh #highasakite (at Port Stephens) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwF_QRrgFoD/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=8kd1x9kcr9qx

This is Strawberry, one of the most beautiful beings I’ve ever seen. This mama spirit bear, came as quickly out of the forest as she disappeared back into it. She was very protective of her cub which we only got to see once in the far distance on the shore a few days after this encounter. It seemed she didn’t want to leave it alone for too long, probably after sending it up in a tree protected from other bears that can be quite territorial. Strawberry’s cub is a black bear which now carries the gene of the white spirit bears and will hopefully one day have offspring him or herself and maybe even have another white spirit bear. Spirit bears are one of the rarest animals on the this planet with estimates ranging from 200-400 individuals and they only live in the majestic Great Bear Rainforest on west coast of British Columbia. These are black bears with a double recessive gene which means they are not albinos but a subspecies of the black bear and about every 10th cub is born white. That’s the science. In the First Nations mythology they are a creation of raven and a reminder of the time when the land was covered by ice. I personally like that better. She was given the name strawberry for her beautiful slightly red coat. ❤️🍓🐻 @gitgaatspirit @timothy.irvin @badkins206 @lutra_wildlife #spiritbear #kermode #spiritanimals #spirituality #bears #blackbear #blackbears @explorecanada #explorecanada #salmon #greatbearrainforest #wildlifephotography #wildlife #natgeo @hellobc #explorebc @indigenoustourismbc #pnw #protectthecoast #notankers #gitgaat #gitgaatterritory #strawberry (at Gitga'at First Nation) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3ZiGuEhk03/?igshid=1admvrd9hi145
🔝🔝🤩👌 Reposted from @jordancharlesphotography I knew I'd left my @alchemy_hellas around here somewhere....🤣 Very grateful to be able to dive with such awesome gear! The water just got cool enough to start wearing both the pants and top of my @eliossub custom fit wetsuit together, and it's absolutely fantastic! So comfortable, warm and hydrodynamic! A massive shout out on today's post for the person who took the shot. @kazhill_ didn't know I was going to ask her to snap some pictures of me today when we jumped in the water, but she got into it so well and absolutely nailed this one 🤙 Thanks Kaz! follow us 👇👇👇👇👇👇 @spearfish.and.freedive.world . . . . . . . . . . . #freediving #freediver #freediverlife #freedivingphotography #underwaterphoto #underwaterphotography #underwatercamera #elios #alchemy #nauticam #sonya7iii #nauticamhousings #athlete #extremesports #sonyunderwater #sigma15mm #caymanislands #grandcayman #thanksbutnotanks #onebreath #oceanphotography #cavedive #caves #paditv #gnar #godoit #underwaterworld #holdyourbreath #notanks https://www.instagram.com/p/CKnYXs_lsJ6/?igshid=6v0opjnueira
