Another 11 Solomon dolphins for Resorts World Sentosa, via the Philippines

These dolphins that are ready for export will not go unnoticed like the seven that left early this month, said Solomon Islands activist Makili. “We will ensure the public and the rest of the world know about the movement of the dolphins and to see how bad-mannered Solomon Islands is towards these friendly mammals.”

Mr Makili accused the Solomon Government of ignorance, saying a research which export of live dolphins should base on has not been completed.

“There’s research which was not completed, and the research will determine the population of wild dolphins in our waters,” he said.

He said to allow the export of live dolphins without knowing exactly the population in our waters is ridiculous.
