Claiming that its anti-SeaWorld billboard was wrongfully rejected for display, PETA is suing the San Diego Airport Authority with backing from the ACLU. 

The billboard pairs actress Kathy Najimy's face with the message: "Welcome to San Diego! If you love animals like I do, please avoid SeaWorld." It's part of an ongoing campaign against the marine park chain, whose critics have been whipped into a frenzy since the debut of the hard-hitting documentary Blackfish about the park's alleged mistreatment of orcas.
