Members of several animal rights groups held a demonstration outside SEA LIFE London Aquarium in central London, calling for the attraction to close and all marine animals to be released, particularly the penguins. Protesters held placards, handed out leaflets and shouted slogans through megaphones, voicing opposition to keeping marine wildlife in captivity for public display and calling for an end to the practice.
