Great news! Earth Island Institute has just announced that illegally captured dolphins were returned to the wild in the Solomon Islands. http://savedolphins.eii.org/news/entry/illegally-captured-dolphins-solomon-islands-returned-to-ocean This is awesome news as the lucrative capture of dolphins in the Solomon Island supplies many aquariums around the world. As Canadians, It is important to remember that it was a former Vancouver Aquarium marine mammal trainer Christopher Porter (of Williams Lake, B.C. Canada) who started the capture of live dolphins in the Solomon Islands, having learned the trade while working for the Aquarium. Hundreds of dolphins were sold all over the world with the help of SeaWorld officials. Unfortunately, the trade has grown and Porter continues to be involved in it. Watch this CBC documentary titled THE DOLPHIN DEALER featuring many whale advocates like Ric O'Barry, Naomi Rose, Sue Arnold and the late Mark Berman.
