Outrage: Sick Dolphin Held Captive In Filthy Tank – Take Action

[marinestar]

Misty, as the dolphin has come to be called by volunteers monitoring her condition, is in a small tank that appears to be extremely unsanitary, filled with dead fish and algae, and with no filtration system. The dolphin treads water while continually holding a yellow buoy in its mouth for consolation, like a lost child holding onto a teddy bear. Dolphin base has admitted the dolphin is sick to the Sea Shepherd Cove Guardians, who are monitoring Misty and have taken the video and pictures here.

This cannot stand. Express your outrage to the Japanese Embassy or contact the people holding this dolphin at:

Different animals have different requirements, firstly a dolphin is not a fish it is a mammal and one with a proven high level of intelligence, that is why people care

Considering that there is an SPCA in most Western countries... people would.

EDIT- I read cat not catfish so disregard my answer

Living in dirty water is still a health risk even if you aren't breathing it.

Well I understand that but you have to stand up for sea kittens.

I don't see the problem in prioritising animals according to their intelligence.

But you're right. Animal cruelty is disgusting no matter which animal it is.
