Babe star James Cromwell was just arrested again

After a brief stint behind bars, which we reported on earlier in July, James Cromwell has been arrested again, this time for his involvement in a protest at SeaWorld San Diego.

The 77-year-old actor, known for his appearances in films like Babe, The Green Mile and L.A. Confidential, was part of a protest at the park’s Orca Encounter.

Cromwell led a group of protestors from the organisation PETA, who were warning the crowd about allegations of the amusement park’s alleged animal abuse.

You can see footage of the incident below:

After several minutes, police arrested the former Oscar-nominated actor and his fellow demonstrators, leading them away from the show.

In a statement following the incident, Cromwell said, "Orcas deserve a full life in the ocean, not a life sentence of swimming endless circles until they drop dead from disease. My friends at PETA and I want SeaWorld to move these intelligent animals to seaside sanctuaries without delay."

What are your thoughts on this incident?
