Although the fate of captive dolphins in The Red Sea District in Egypt there has been a victory, the Governor of The Red Sea District has put a ban on any future import of dolphins. This action blocked the expected import of 5 more dolphins already.
Save Japan Dolphins .com has a great pictorial of their encounters in Egypt. The abuse that some dolphins are subjected to in back yard pools, thugs standing in the way of progress, having a pit bull set on them, sounds to me as it is a not so nice place to be.
Local governments are starting to listen to the public some. The Save Japan Dolphins Campaign is m100% about grassroots pressure and education to help the government agencies that allow these travesties to happen better understand the travesties they are allowing to happen.
