SINGAPORE: Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) is facing indirect contempt charges in a Philippine court.

Posted: 26 November 2012 1903 hrs

A judge has set the hearing in Quezon City Court for 15 February 2013.

The charges stem from RWS exporting dolphins while the case was still being heard.

A motion was filed by Earth Island Institute Philippines, Philippine Animal Welfare Society and CARE Welfare Philippines on 20 November 2012.

It stated that even before and while the court was conducting a hearing on the motion for reconsideration, the respondents including Resorts World Sentosa had already flown out 11 dolphins from the country.

One dolphin died during the transport to Singapore.

Local animal rights group ACRES said there is hope that justice will be served for the dolphins.

Boo friggin' hoo, a dolphin died.

Funny how the Pinoys are so pro-animal welfare now. They love canned tuna and now they're lamenting the demise of a dolphin? The irony.

The Philippines NGO's are responsible because those dolphins were kept in their country. If these dolphins are kept in other countries, the NGO's based there will do likewise. ACRES is based in Singapore.
