Does anyone have any further information on the ethical practices of Sunshine aquarium? We visited and were crushed to see what looks like enclosures for some of their larger animals, specifically the giant octopus and sea lions, that seem to be permanent

The tank for the octopus isn't even big enough to house twice the size of its body, and the seals and sea lions are in what seem to be too small for a single creature, let alone several.

Someone please tell me that these animals have the opportunity to move to larger holding tanks or environments and aren't eternally trapped in confined spaces?
