Charlotte Crosby slams marine parks in powerful PETA Campaign with baby daughter Alba

ok.co.uk:

Charlotte Crosby has criticised marine parks in a campaign with PETA, in which she was joined by her baby daughter Alba. Charlotte, 33, who recently opened up about her plans for baby number two, posed for a photograph and spoke to the animal rights organisation about the reality of marine parks for the powerful campaign.

In the picture, Charlotte could be seen sporting a grey dress to evoke the image of a dolphin. Joined by baby Alba, the pair are shown as being separated from one another alongside the words “families are ripped apart” - making a statement about the experience of mammals at marine parks.

In an exclusive interview with PETA, Charlotte told the story of an orca called Morgan who had been made to perform tricks at a marine park.The orca later gave birth to a daughter, Ula, who sadly died at just two years old. “The story of Morgan and Ula shatters my heart as a mam,” she said. “It’s actually devastating to even think about.” The former Geordie Shore star, who recently got engaged to her boyfriend Jake Ankers, added that the animals had “no freedom” before encouraging others to “never visit a marine park”. “Knowing what these animals go through … they have no freedom.They are deprived of everything,” she said. “They are living in the most awful, awful circumstances and conditions.

It’s just cruelty to animals.That is all it is.” She continued: “Never visit a marine park yourself.” The campaign shoot is set to feature in an upcoming episode of Charlotte’s show, Charlotte in Sunderland.
