I haven't written an update in a while, but although the number of signatures continues to increase little by little, we need more, a lot more, with your support we want to reach 200,000 signatures to show that there is no excuse not to close dolphin parks in Spain.

For the End of Dolphin Parks in Spain

Currently Spain continues to be the largest prison for dolphins in the EU and 6th in the world, behind countries like Russia, China, or the United States. It is frustrating that we cannot move forward with a Law for the Scheduled Closure of Dolphinariums in this country. In December 2021, France already passed a similar law, and there are many countries that in one way or another no longer have these prisons for dolphins and cetaceans like the ones we have in Spain. Unfortunately, these prisons are incredibly lucrative and are just big business under the excuse of education or science and are even so hypocritical that they talk about the protection of the species, when dolphins and orcas and belugas in captivity in Spain are not in danger of extinction. They do not depend on any place to protect them, or in fact subjects them to cruelty just for simple human business and entertainment.

The excuse of education is something that surprises me enormously, what is there educational in having animals that have been captured illegally, or have been bred in captivity, doing nonsense for our entertainment? I always explain that my 8-year-old brother knows everything about dinosaurs, but he has never seen or will ever see one, so is it necessary to educate by imprisoning animals? And science, Jacques Cousteau already said many years ago that studying animals in captivity is like studying humans only by the ones who are in jail.

There are no valid excuses for continuing with this terrifying business, which also encourages the aggressive capture of baby dolphins to continue to be aggressively captured to put them up for sale in dolphinariums and aquariums around the world.

After a lot of work, I managed to get a group of Senators and Mrs. Cristina Narbona to register a Motion for a Law in the Senate on 09/28/2021, which seems to have not advanced, due to big business and lobby pressure.

I also met and wrote on many occasions with Mr. Sergio G. Torres, General Director of Animal Rights responsible for the current Animal Welfare Law which everyone is talking about. I also presented a contribution to the bill last March 2021, in which I requested that the scheduled closure of dolphinariums be considered within the law, something to which I have not even received a response.

So, all I can ask is that you please sign my campaign and share it widely with all your contacts to try to get those 200,000 signatures to show that we will not give up. Thank you very much.
