I have included exerpts to this very informative article in the September 12, 2011 Washington DC Examiner News. It seems obvious that there is a hemorrhagic misuse of federal funds going towards mismanagement of marine mammals in captivity and other pet projects. ... "According to Citizens Against Government Waste, a whopping $16.5 billion went to Congressional pet projects in 2010" and the startling highlight of this article is centered around Millions in Federal Taxpayer Funds Going to Mississippi "Dolphin Pimp" Moby Solangi who is supporting a “state of the art” dolphinarium for the citizens of Mississippi. ... "
In this article, it is noted and reported that "Leading the pack in discretionary spending is Senate Appropriations Committee Ranking Member Thad Cochran. In Fiscal Year 2010, Cochran earmarked 27 projects to the tune of $44,400,000. Of that sum, $1,000,000 went to the Center for Marine Education and Research-Ocean Expo-Learning Center at the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies." The $75 million Ocean Expo is the brain child of Moby Solangi. ... Richard O’Barry, star of the Academy award winning documentary, The Cove, has characterized Solangi as a “Dolphin Pimp”. Said O’Barry, “Solangi is one of the world's biggest traffickers in captive dolphins, and his track record is a litany of violent dolphin captures and exploitation. “ ....
It is my opinion and the opinion of many others from researching facts, that dolphins do not belong in captivity, and do not thrive in captivity. I do not support a multi-million dollar industry in trafficking captive dolphins. Do you? Please read more from the article here:
