Orca naming

Reason for Naming Kohana's son Adan (removed by 71.51.181.124): Original reason (named after Adan Martin) was a nice story, but was not supported by the cited article. This kind of detail probably belongs in "List of Captive Orcas" anyway, not in the article about the park. Please cite properly if replacing this information.

Bias in depiction of captive Orcas

This article fails to present the situation of Loro Parque's captive Orcas adequately and instead presents a biased view of happy Orca family. Incidents and trainer deaths should be mentioned, as well as the social tensions that have been thouroughly documented with regards to this specific artificially created Orca pod. The orca Morgan was extradited to Loro Parque by court order, with the authorities clearly ignoring expert advice on the subject matter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.20.243.167 (talk) 10:44, 31 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Parrot collection

At this time I can't find reliable sources, so the following is essentially WP:OR. It is not true that the "largest" collection is always the "most diverse". "Most diverse" implies the largest number of species in this context, and it seems that Loro Parque wins on this (by almost twice the number of species). "Largest" is simply by animal count or acreage (and needs to be specified when claimed). It seems this park wins on acreage but Birds International wins on animal count. So, without more reliable sources than we currently have in both articles, this cannot be resolved, and eventually we will need to simply change it to "one of the largest" in both places (which is not in dispute).

Info-box photo

Seeing as there hasn't been any discussion about it I took the liberty of changing the photo in the description box at the beginning of the article for one of the same scene but where the stage and the animals are visible. (I'm confused as to why this other CC photo was used when so many better are available on the Commons with a more appropriate license, better composition and resolution. Feel free to change it for anything else that might be more representative if you want. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JunCTionS (talk • contribs) 15:32, 12 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Use of PETA and PETA primary primary source

Peta are an extremist animal rights mouth piece and there are far better organisations on the issues Peta are listed for. The Red brigade are not listed as a source on German terrorism. Al-Qaeda are not listed on 9/11 so why are Ptaa an animal rights extremists group. Wikipedia can and must do better than being uin the business of using this organisation. The source also fail the general prohibition on Primary source as Peta are being used as a source for information about them in particular when the section begins "Peta have also criticised" what gives them special status over other group, why are they so important. There must be better than this as information. Primary sources are to be avoided and so are using extremists as sources on articles. 91.110.126.179 (talk) 17:26, 29 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
