Orcas and killer whales are very sensitive to sound, as they communicate by sonar. Most people would agree it's not normal for orcas and other marine life to be at a heavy-metal concert, according to the drummer.

In his letter, sent via People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), Tommy writes:

"I'm writing to ask you not to play any Motley Crue songs at any of SeaWorld's parks during this sad show. Although we like to torture the human fans who willingly come to our shows, we don't want to be a part of making innocent animals' lives hellish. (...) Whales are not head-bangers, so stop cranking the music."
