About this Petition Pledge Petition Updates

Excerpt from In Defense of Animals:

"The Atlantis Hotel, the newest and largest resort in the nation of Dubai, is holding a whale shark captive in its aquarium. The hotel, on the exclusive Palm Jumeirah island, originally said it had 'rescued' the animal, who is a member of an endangered species.

"The hotel is now refusing to say if or when the whale shark will be released. Environmentalists and Dubai residents are demanding that the shark should be released into his natural habitat."

Speak up for Sammy (the whale shark's name).
