Making Waves.

I'm Sophie, I'm 20, and I love the sea. "The dolphin's smile is natures greatest deception. It creates the illusion that they're always happy." - Ric O' Barry. Sea Life, Beaches, Rivers, Holidays, anything to do with water really. Against Whale and Dolphin Captivity. I don't claim any of these pictures to be mine unless I state so.

I went undercover from AWF to see the state of Morgan. Loro Parque completely refused to show her and kept her hidden away. I also saw a young orca just banging their head repeatedly against the gates of the tank for about 10 minutes.

Hi everyone,

There have been several photos and videos circulating the Internet recently that show the horrible process of how tanks are cleaned in dolphinariums. The water is drained from the tank and the dolphins are actually left lying there while the workers clean around them. It is...

And again, cause it's later.

Need someone to help me run this blog please.

I’m super busy at the minute in third year of my degree, and I’ve got to keep up with my film blog for that…however I don’t want to give up on this one.

I’ll still use it, as I’m hopefully starting my own work for Sea Shepherd soon so I’ll blog about that, however I need someone who will:

1. Post a few lovely sealife pictures every day.

2. Needs to be anti-cap I’m afraid..and should re-blog any interesting news on marine captivity that’s from an anti - perspective

3. Help get followers

4. Also, if you could help me sort out my theme so it shows text under the pictures, but still makes them look as pretty that would be great. You don’t have to help run my blog to do this..if you know the HTML let me know anyway please lol.

Message if you’re interested…I’ll keep hounding til I get someone.

While the internet was incensed, the practice of draining aquarium tanks is quite common, apparently.

“What you see in these two videos is routine tank cleaning. It goes on at all of the 51 dolphin abusement parks in Japan at least once a month—sometimes twice a month in the summer,” says Cove star Ric O’Barry.

O’Barry was commenting on two YouTube videos of other, similar tank cleanings, seen here and here.

“They drop the water and scrub away the algae, then hose the tank down, then raise the water back up. This goes on here in the USA, in Europe, and everywhere else dolphins are held in tanks.”

I also saw this in my absence and it honestly repulsed me.

This happened to my Grandads foot once and he would not stop panicing.
