Tiu those dolphins activists! I support the RWS Marine Life Park!

We should support RWS' Marine Life Park
Letter from Neil Wilkinson 04:46 AM Oct 18, 2011


There has been some negative reaction to the coming Marine Life Park at Resorts World Sentosa, specifically regarding its dolphins. But this is coming only from activist groups who are in the minority.

Perhaps it is time for the majority of Singaporeans to applaud RWS' conservation efforts and be proud that Singapore will have the world's largest oceanarium.

No one can say what dolphins prefer. They could be living in fear of killer whales, having to hunt for food in oily, litter-filled seas, with the prospect of starving due to over-fishing by man, and facing horrific injuries from speeding motorboats with no regard for their lives.

Or they could be living in pristine, clear water, safe from predators and speed boats, and having food provided for them.

I think most Singaporeans, if given a choice between a small but safe flat, with restaurants or supermarkets around the corner, and a large country estate where they have to grow their own vegetables or catch their own food, with the danger of snake bites and other wild animals, would choose the former.

Education and conservation is vital today. I believe most Singaporeans recognise this and are looking forward to the Marine Life Park opening next year.

Perhaps someone should create an "I support the Marine Life Park" Facebook page to allow the silent majority of Singaporeans to stand up against the continual bad press and campaign against housing the dolphins. I am proud to support the park and look forward to visiting it.

there is major and serious matter which those activists might ve overlooked. dolphins in captivity for so long after letting free into the ocean, could they still survive?

i once had a terrapin which the son kept as pet bought it was very small n cute. before u knew it, the cute tortoise had grown to become quite a monster. i even had to buy a bigger fishtank just to house it. but it kept growing even bigger. everyday it would bang against the glass wall making quite an irritating intimidating noise. the wifey was worried that it might one day just cracked the tank and nagged me to get rid of it.

helplessly, i brought the monster tortoise which was like weighing a ton now and threw it into a big pond hoping it would be happier. the thought of setting it free initially pleased me. then something hit me while driving back - i didn't remember seeing my monster tortoise float up to breathe....which mean it could ve drowned or what.

gotta a feeling that monster tortoise could be a ton fish food instead. domesticated pet cannot survive when released back to the wild. read that somewhere that is after i released my ill-fated tortoise.

I am not in the position to speak on the behalf of the Dolphins.

To prevent animals from becoming extinct . We must captive breed those animals . to left them to their own in the wild sooner or later also disappear on this earth .

ya stupid comparison....even if sinkies who get cope up in small flats can leave the flats anytime they like........
as someone who have spent time in jail......i am not in favour of any form of keeping animals in cages or enclosures. Every living thing should be free.
