​
Yeah!!! With the new Canadian Law that was just past this 10 of June 2019 that liberates all dolphins and all whales from animal shows...we now really need a sanctuary. The MarineLand Park in Canada will not give these animals the rights that they will have in the oceans. Help us fund the first Dolphin and Whale Sanctuary of the Americas to be located off the northern shores of Cozumel Island in Mexico.
​
We'll keep our fingers crossed that Mexico will also do the right thing and liberate their enslaved animals.
Dolphin Liberation & Rehabilitation
Dolphins in the Wild
A pod of wild dolphins can travel up to 100 kilometers a day in the open ocean. Each member plays an integral role in ensuring the health and well-being of the group, and families frequently remain together for life. The elder pod members teach crucial survival skills to the young and pass on knowledge. Dolphins are known to have signature whistles much like how humans have names, and communication among the pod is constant. Prey is tracked via echolocation, the projection of high-frequency sound waves and the subsequent interpretation of the resulting echoes.These are mammals who have had 50 million years to perfect being a dolphin, and have developed the right methodology to thrive in the ocean.
Living in Captivity
Dolphins living in captive conditions face circumstances vastly different than those of the ocean. Often they are placed in unfamiliar groupings, with dolphins that have come from different families, making communication between them impossible. Space is limited, which sparks aggression and frustration. The surroundings are bare and sterile, with little mental stimulation or diversion. Many captive dolphins are regularly treated with ulcer medication or antidepressant medication to alleviate the frustration of captivity.
When faced with an aggressor, dolphins in the wild can easily swim away to avoid an interaction. Instead captive dolphins often bear scars or rake marks, evidence of a clash with a tank mate. Prolonged confinement in such small quarters can lead to depression and self-harming behaviors. One of the earliest documented examples of such behavior was observed in Hugo, a captive orca at the Miami Seaquarium. Hugo was observed repeatedly smashing his head against his tank walls, a behavior that has been observed in other captive marine mammals, along with gnawing on tank walls and gates. On the opposite extreme, other captive dolphins may float listlessly at the surface of the water, a stereotypic behavior known as “logging,” or deliberately beach themselves on a platform or stage.
Our Plan
S.A.V.E. Mexico plan is to attempt a never before mission/experiment to close down all dolphinariums and release as much dolphins as we can, our team has come with a plan to relocate the animals into a protected marine reserve where they can be gradually reintroduced to their natural habitat and interact with wild dolphins for the first time in their lives, with the hope that with time the dolphins get know the vast ocean and travel thousand of miles as they were designed for.
Our Proposal to The Government is This
We immediately request, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, President of Mexico, Head of State and controller of all executive power and pepe funes, Secretary of Environment and Natural Resources SEMARNAT, to outlaw all dolphin shows by releasing these intelligent animals (the ones that are able to live on their own) back to the wild.
The many, if not all, that are not yet able to survive in the wild can be moved to a new project still in its creation stages… a “Dolphin and Whale Sanctuary”.
To be located near Cancun, first in the Americas, for all the Americas, a place where people can continue to connect with these non-human beings, to come and to watch these marvelous creatures NATURALLY…in a sanctuary that does not harm! This sanctuary to be located off the northern shore of Cozumel Island where there are dolphins freely swimming today.
The dolphin trainers would continue working this new project to rehabilitate. The dolphins will learn to live in the wild again, to catch fish, to swim in a natural space. CONANP (National Commission of Natural Protected Areas) will operate this sanctuary and offer for the first time to tourists, a tour to see dolphins in the wild, being rehabilitated to live their normal life instead of pushing people around with their bleeding noses and eating cubed dead fish. This is a gleaming opportunity to show the world the coolest vacation choice on this planet, Mexico.
