Animal Lovers - petition to free trapped dolphins

I don't know anything about the whole Dolphin's for entertainment debate. However, we live near Spey Bay on the Moray Coast and have been a couple of times in the hope of seeing the Dolphins there. They feed on the Salmon that enter the sea there from the Spey.

For the first time, we saw them....yesterday. What an amazing site. They don't need to be kept in captivity....people just need to travel to see them. These pictures were taken from the shore and these Dolphins are wild. I know zoo's etc do important work but nothing compares to seeing animals wild like this.

For wild dolphins captivity is torture, their powerful sonar bounces off the walls back at them -- as if they are trapped in an endless house of mirrors. Most die young from stress induced illness, but some even commit suicide. If the wealthy Resorts World Sentosa succeeds in keeping them captive then half the dolphins will die in the first 2 years -- and it will legitimise the widely banned practice of capturing dolphins in the wild. We can’t let that happen -- let's use our voices to set them free.

Resorts World was forced to abandon plans for a whale shark exhibit two years ago because of the huge outcry that threatened their reputation. Let’s build a massive call now to free these intelligent, beautiful creatures -- and make this a turning point in the fight to end the global wild-dolphin trade. Our petition will be delivered to Resorts World and the media. Sign now and share this with everyone!
