========================================================================= Newsgroups: bit.listserv.envbeh-l Subject: dolphins Organization: Penn State University Date: Saturday, 10 Feb 1990 16:40:25 EST From: E. JENNIFER BUBB <EJB117@psuvm.psu.edu> Message-ID: <90041.164025EJB117@PSUVM.BITNET> On March 22, Richard O'Barry is coming to Penn State. Ric used to train the dolphins used for the 1950's television show "Flipper". Ric is the founder of The Dolphin Project which is dedicated to the well being of dolphins not only in captivity but also being used by the Navy and being slaughtered by the tuna boats in California. The tuna boats along are allowed to kill 20,500 dolphins a year before they are required to dock. In his talk Ric is going to show a hour video taken by Sam Lebuddy. Sam snuck on a boat and got a job as a cooks' helper. Ric also is bringing videos of his succes at the successful readaptation of Jo and Rosie. Jo and Rosie are dolphins that were used for communication research by Dr John Lily and his wife. They were out of funds for the research project and therefore decided to return them to the wild. Another aspect that Ric is going to talk about is the marine mammal amusement parks. He is against the enslavement of dolphins in these places. Over the Christmas Break (sometime in late December), Ric was arrested for the first time since Earth Day 1 in 1970. He jumped in the water with dolphins that were captured in Florida for transportation to the Baltimore death aquarium. At present these dolphins are feeling the effects of being captured and are in deep danger. They may not live much longer. The sadness is that the general public have been bouhgt out by these marine mammal amusement parks and are not aware of the abuse these dolphin endure. I encourage everyone that can to come Penn State during the week of March 19. There will be many talks and chances to learn more about the wonderful dolphin.
