Bindi Irwin, the daughter of late "crocodile hunter" Steve Irwin, is facing the ire of PETA for announcing a partnership with PETA.
Bindi Irwin Reveals SeaWorld Partnership
Irwin, now 15, appeared on Good Morning America Thursday with her mother Terri Irwin, 49, and younger brother Robert Irwin, 10, where she revealed the new business venture.
"We are so thrilled to finally be joining SeaWorld on a brand new initiative called Generation Nature,” Bindi Irwin told co-anchor Robin Roberts. “Which is all about encouraging kids to get involved and become game changers for wildlife and wild places.”
"I’m so excited to be carrying on in Dad’s footsteps,” the budding actress and TV host added. “And making sure that everything he worked so hard for continues for the generations to come.”
By aligning herself and her family with SeaWorld, Bindi Irwin has given cause to animal rights activists – both the organized and the casual – to speak out.

Heart are an unlikely bunch of revolutionaries. But the American soft rockers' decision to cancel a concert at SeaWorld in Florida may mark a turning point in the relationship between humans and one of the most magnificent mammals of the ocean. The band this week joined Willie Nelson and Barenaked Ladies in cancelling shows at the Orlando theme park because they had watched Blackfish, a film about Tilikum, a five-tonne male orca that has been involved in the deaths of three people. This modest yet riveting documentary has made ever-bigger ripples across the pond since its premiere at Sundance earlier this year, with an audience of 20 million recently watching it on CNN. It is now on the Oscar longlist.
