CLOSE Marine Parks!!

My battle, and it's a been a long battle, is against marine parks. No animal was put on this earth to "amuse" us. Every animal has intelligence, suffers, communicates and deserves total respect. To lock orcas and dolphins (as well as others) into these tiny "cages" is a disgrace and morally unacceptable.

Have you ever heard an orca that screamed for its infant when it was captured? I have, and it's horrible and something I cannot and probably will never forget. I spend a lot of time at sea and have had many contacts with dolphins and orcas (as well as the magnificent shark which is being so devastated). To cage these superb animals is totally inhumane. In fact, it's criminal.

A friend has a reserve for orphaned elephants in South Africa, something I totally stand behind and would like to work with. But, I finally figured out that you have to choose your cause; spread it too wide and it becomes futile.
