Bogan Koori Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 The protesters have well and truly been silenced. Ive seen nothing in the media for months. Some locals must be weilding a damn big stick Or maybe the ruble crash has put the kibosh on the project. And the protesters are silently rejoicing about this?

Silent on all fronts.Where is all the activists now? It wasn't a one man show voicing concerns. So much for moral conviction toward a cause. Silencing that group was too easy.

Bogan Koori Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 Does the Dolphin show have an actual name or website? Then there would be a lot less speculation and a lot more fact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So much for moral conviction toward a cause. Silencing that group was too easy. Has there been new development on the project? I thought the current situation is that the project is not going forward. So, are you saying, the new development is no development? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hansgruber Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 Any updates on the Dolphinarium? Still boarded up and no work going on. I was hoping that since NJ is back liking posts maybe he could share some information on the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hansgruber Posted February 9, 2015 Author Share Posted February 9, 2015 Meet the prisoners is a little dramatic. Weren't these Dolphins saved from being culled anyway?

Cull the Dolphins in Japan and people are outraged or save them for dolphinariums and people are outraged. Nothing will quench this thirst for outrage.

Nothing will quench this thirst for outrage. Leave these intelligent creatures to live in their natural habitat might do it.. Shocking I know.. That is never going to happen. They cull them yearly in Japan, where these wild caught dolphins were taken from. Why don't people just be happy some are rescued, regardless if they are trained to entertain. The outrage should be directed at the Japanese, not the rescuers who are giving them a better alternative to death. Wasted effort attacking the dolphinarium.

beechbum Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Probably better off culled than living in a tiny tank, maybe similar to being on death row or life in a super max prison (IMO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better alive than being eaten or just killed in pursuit of other prized fish. I dont see why people are so against the dolphin show. Little too much time on peoples hands i think. Rescuing a soi dog is so 2000's and worn out so time to meddle in something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not 'saved from being culled' or 'saved from a fishing net' and put into captivity.. Its put into captivity AS WELL AS the ones killed in fishing nets or being culled in japan. The entire logic of the posts that the dolphins 'saved' for captivity come from the same potential stock who are culled (and dont end up on plates, its mostly a cultural thing not a food thing) is just false equivalency. Its entirely possible to not want a dolphinarium, AND not want them to be culled in Japan.. This isnt an either or choice.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rescuing a soi dog is so 2000's and worn out so time to meddle in something else. It's one thing for an animal to be killed quickly, and humanly, after all, most of us will sit down tonight and eat an animal that was, hopefully, killed in such a way. It's an entirely different thing to keep an animal in captivity for years, and continually torture the animal so it will perform, thus making money for its owner. Western countries have Government agencies to inspect the animals, and ensure their wellbeing. In Thailand, the animals are just abused and exploited, until their death.
