You don’t have to be a trainer if you want to work with cetaceans. Today, I am going to tell you about an article I read at the time it was published in December 2012. I particularly liked this article because it shows an approach on a child. When I talk about captivity to the people around me, I notice it’s kind of hard to launch the first argument.

I often talk about SeaWorld. When I talk about it, I mean the group SeaWorld.

For all those who tend to lump the Japanese together, here’s a little article that should change your mind. Here’s the link to Shep The Dolphin’s Facebook page, a group of Japanese activists who are standing up against the massacres happening in The Cove. Each status is written so as to think that this is Shep the dolphin who’s writing. “Please take a moment to think about my cousins who were taken from the ocean today.” Support them by liking…
