“A dolphin's smile is the greatest deception. It creates the illusion that they're always happy.”― Richard O'Barry

Dolphins love and grieve just like us!

Lets hope for a world where every dolphin and whale is safe and free!

I saw a trending article on steemit today, beautiful images of jumping dolphins in a pool, somewhere in Japan. OH no!

My heart is breaking once again because some people are still not aware how much suffering is behind, keeping these wonderful creations of nature in pools with chlorine hurting their eyes.

Why? Humans need to be entertained!?

Help to spread awareness and support!

The "FreeBaliDolphins" Tour April 30-May,5th as announced on Instagram is coming to Bali!  

Celebrate freedom & say NO to the 🐬 show!

Itinerary

There is much more pain involved as you might know or think, unimaginable cruelty towards those sweet dolphins and various arguments are way too complicated.

The injustice to keep those mammals with deep emotions, just like us, in captivation all over the world, is still happening.

Facts about Whales and Dolphins You should know about!

Just ask around “who loves dolphins?” Most likely almost everybody loves dolphins, but what “loving dolphins” really means? This question cannot be answered easily… If you would ask another question “Is it safe to swim with dolphins in captivity?”, you may be amazed by the fact that most people, maybe even you, have never thought about it… “It’s safe to be around with dolphins” is a kind of imprinted in our subconscious. Is it so? Is it safe for you and for dolphins? This documentary will help you to make clear the ambiguous situation surrounding this type of entertainment. - Source by Scuba Film Factory

Dolphins trapped in captivity at Wake, Bali

I am not talking about cows, dogs and other animals today and I am also talking about Indonesia first of all, about one protest when it all got started.

We can make changes step by step. I helped organizing, inviting people and children as well as their parents and even dogs, a group of awesome women and also supporter from Indonesian animal welfare organisations such as BAWA and Jaan. We all together helped to stop a travelling circus show. its hard to believe that those circuses are a big hit in Indonesia.

There are three companies running inhumane operations, much to the delight of uninformed visitors who pay pennies to see the dolphins perform.

It was well worth it!

2013: Dolphins Made and Wayan were kidnapped.

Things are continuing to get complicated in Indonesia. I was supposed to go home last week, but I stayed here in Bali anticipating a move of two dolphins, named Made and Wayan, who are kept in a small filthy swimming pool at a local café for the tourists. We had the Minister of Forestry himself come to see these dolphins, and he announced their treatment was inhumane and he would seize them with our help and move them to our sea pen for rehabilitation and release. Read On!

2014: Activists were attacked.

This is a report from our campaign in Indonesia. Names have been withheld to protect the activists from retaliation.We held a protest at the grand opening of the dolphin pool and restaurant in Bali.I knew I wasn’t the best person to go and demonstrate there but everyone here is afraid to do anything and since nothing was happening me and fellow activists decided to just go take pictures at entrance of the facility for the media.We were 5 people and one press photographer.Read on!
