You kidding right? You watched this video and you still think they are running a good business? It’s not all about the dead animals but also about the lack of permits and trying to get by laws. Didn’t you see where they asked for the permits and the guy working said, "ugh I don’t have that personally on hand right now". If they had permits wouldn’t he have said they had them and showed them? Shouldn’t they be at the aquarium? Also they are trying to get by obtaining the otters permit. If they wanted to do things right why not apply for it like they were told.

Dude at the shop he is at they dont need any permits for the animals they already have, look at it, its all common livestock that we can obtain..... He needs to apply for permits for the sharks and rays he was trying to acquire... If that was the case, the portland aquarium would be shut down.... You did see where he said the feds or whoever is free to come in and look around...... They apparently have nothing to hide there...

I know they don't need permits for the fish but the way they are acting towards trying to buy sharks without permits and how they have t applied for the otters permit is what I'm talking about. Just the way they are trying to cut corners is not right.

One of the brothers has pled guilty to illegally getting sharks and rays without the proper permits.

They are now offering refunds to anyone who bought a season pass.

And they still don't have permits for the construction end of the deal.

Yelp reviews for the Portland location are dismal.


Shady operations at best. They aren't even open yet and they are all over the news, and not in a good way either.

But whats all this about killling livestock.....?

A few on here have mentioned thats a reason they would not go...... So where is the evidence or even a accusation?

Just saying...... We all make mistakes and not pulling a permit IMO isnt a huge crime, but the FEDS say otherwise.... He has 12-15 marine biologist employed in portland, you think they would really sit around and let animals die...... Only reason one becomes MB is cause of the love with the animals.....


idk, guess im not quick to judge ppl, especially off of yelp reviews....

Where there is smoke, there is fire.

The supposed disgruntled employee was their on site veterinarian. The owners responses are quite telling. They are being investigated in Boise ID, Portland OR, and now Austin Tx. Once might be a mistake, two could be a coincidence, but three is a pattern.

So if they are found not guilty on all charges..... Will you go?.

remember they are just being investigated in the livestock deaths....... A disgruntled employee can say alot of things.
