Hi there,

It is the job of the press to cover power, not cover for power—to hold those in power accountable by documenting what's happening on the ground and amplifying voices at the grassroots. In this critical moment, as attacks on the media escalate, we must continue to cover crackdowns on dissent, immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, public health and academic freedom. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

SeaWorld Puts Employee Who Infiltrated PETA on Leave

HeadlineJul 16, 2015

In an update on a story we reported on Wednesday, the animal theme park SeaWorld has put an employee on leave after reports emerged that he had infiltrated the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. According to PETA, SeaWorld employee Paul McComb took part in numerous protests and attempted to incite violence. In one tweet, McComb — who called himself Thomas Jones — urged people to “grab pitchforks and torches.” SeaWorld announced it had also launched an investigation.
