#Repost from the incredible dolphin conservationist....@richardobarry @download.ins --- Winter is Dead: “We are saddened to learn of Winter’s passing. She could have greatly benefitted from the construction of a seaside sanctuary in the Florida sunshine instead of living in a concrete tank, inside a building. Winter could have retired in peace and dignity, and enjoyed a more normal environment – the great outdoors, the changing tides, and the sounds and rhythms of the sea. From my experience, this is where the healing process begins. It’s the only place real healing can happen. While Winter will never get this opportunity, we encourage facilities such as the Clearwater Marine Aquarium to build ocean water sanctuaries for their rescued dolphins and other whales.” —- Ric O’Barry #emptythetanksworldwide #dolphinsanctuaryproject (at Clearwater Marine Aquarium) https://www.instagram.com/p/CWM1rwzN_zb/?utm_medium=tumblr
