When Harry Styles talks, teenage girls listen. During a recent One Direction gig in San Diego, Styles took a minute between songs about eternal devotion to try to change the world.
"Does anybody like dolphins?" Styles asked the screaming crowd, prompting them to scream even louder, because of course they like dolphins -- teen girls love dolphins.
"Don't go to Sea World," Styles told them.

The incident was caught on video by Maisie Williams, who plays Arya Stark on Game of Thrones, naturally.

Harry Styles and dolphins go back. He is an active supporter of The Dolphin Project and has tweeted support for the organization in the past.
SeaWorld is in the midst of a public relations crisis following the 2013 documentary Blackfish, which criticized the park's treatment of animals. The theme park company's attempts to smooth things over, like a Twitter Q&A, only seem to backfire.
SeaWorld begged Styles to reconsider his stance in an open letter, but the heartthrob/activist has not responded.
.@Harry_Styles, if you want to see what SeaWorld is really about, we’re happy to show you and answer your questions. http://t.co/Jc0rYxZe2n— SeaWorld (@SeaWorld) July 10, 2015
Dolphins don't know they're beautiful, and that's what makes them beautiful.
