They haven't even seen those large aquariums sea creatures even!
I never introduced them to caged animals but when their Grandma took them to the Zoo and brought home a caged Dove, after 3 days, we let the bird flew somewhere else. Yahoo!
As I read this letter ,I was moved!
I will to take my children to this event, will you care to join us?
Dear Friends,
Warm Greetings from Earth Island Institute.
This early on, we would like to invite you to the launching of the campaign to Save the World's Saddest Dolphins led by Animal Concerns Research and Education Society of Singapore (ACRES) and Earth Island Institute Philippines (EII-Phils).
Since 2008, a total of 25 wild-caught dolphins were imported into the Philippines from the Solomon Islands. Despite scientific reports from no less than the International Union of Concerned Scientists (IUCN) that the harvest of the dolphins from the Solomon Islands may not be sustainable, these were nonetheless allowed into the country.
Further studies of dolphin-populations by inter-government scientists in the Solomon Islands has strengthened the initial findings that wild dolphin populations in the Solomons cannot sustain continued harvest. Finally, the Solomon Island Government itself announced that all dolphin captures in the territory will cease starting January 2012.
Given this, all dolphins now in the Philippines for training at the Ocean Adventure Park in Subic, must now be returned to the wild.
We urge you to join us in launching the Campaign to Save the World's Saddest Dolphins this November 12 and 13 at the R.O.X., Bonifacio High Street, Global City, Taguig, Metro Manila, 10:00 am to 7:00 pm. This is to inform the general public about this situation and urge the Philippine government to return the dolphins back to the Solomon Islands.
We shall be sending you all details of the venue and time of the launching. We hope you can block your schedule on the said date.
