Hey everyone! Sorry about the lack of consistent updates! I finally have some updates, videos and information to share! I'm going to start off with some videos since everyone loves moving pictures!

YouTube

Here are some of the photos and video footage from the Dolphin Slaughter Protest that happened last month here in Vancouver, Canada.
Here is a video that Mermaid Kim and I put together and dedicated to captive cetaceans around the world.

Update on the Dolphin Slaughter

The latest news, on top of the slaughters that have taken place so far, is that one bottlenose dolphin, out of the 7-10 that were captured, was selected for a life in captivity in a swim with dolphins program in Taiji. The rest of the pod was released. No family should have to be separated like that.

How can I help stop this?

As always, I have included some links and information for you to check out that will help you actively contribute to bringing a stop to the horror.

ORCA ALERT!!!

According to End Killer Whale Captivity, an orca has just been captured in Russia. Apparently there were two but one has since died. I've used a translator on a couple of Russian forums and it looks like the whales were intended to be sold to another facility. The whales were caught in August as far as I can see.

PLEASE! If you have more information on this I would really appreciate a reply or an email! I will keep researching and keep you all updated on the status of this unfortunate situation!

Upcoming Events

There will be a protest held outside the Vancouver Aquarium on October 7th, 2012 between 11am and 2pm. Everyone is welcome to come and hold banners and hand out flyers. This protest is specifically relating to cetaceans in captivity.

I will be appearing as the Vancouver Mermaid as well to protest.

If you can't make it, I would be very grateful if you sent a polite email to the Vancouver Aquarium asking them to stop their plans to bring in more captive cetaceans. Thank-you!
