SAN DIEGO, March 8 (UPI) -- The mayor of San Diego says a bill proposed in the California Legislature to ban killer whale shows at SeaWorld will only serve to hurt employment in San Diego.
The bill, sponsored by Assemblyman Richard Bloom, D-Santa Monica, was proposed in the wake of the documentary "Blackfish," which centers on the 2010 death of a trainer at the marine park in Orlando, Fla., and treatment of orca whales at SeaWorld, CNN reported.
