12 Pacific white-sided dolphins transferred from the harbour pens after 2 days without food.

Just after sunrise this morning, the hunters and trainers began a gruelling four hour process of transferring 12 of the 20 Pacific white-sided dolphins captured on the 19th of February, from their crowded harbour prisons.

The ordeal was unfortunately similar to their capture and confinement on Sunday morning. Men dressed in wetsuits dove into the pens and wrestled the dolphins towards the slings dangled into the water by the other hunters. The dolphins were weak and exhausted, having not eaten since they were wild dolphins swimming freely with their pod. These trainers have deliberately starved these dolphins into submission since they were stolen from the ocean, a common occurrence in the captive selection of dolphins and other cetaceans forced into a life in captivity. The inhumanity in denying these dolphins food and keeping them in cramped, over crowded pens are responsible for the many fatalities of dolphins you see over their first few days in captivity. These dolphins although weak, still displayed immense signs of anxiety and fear, thrashing in the slings, and once moved to other sea pens in the bay were desperately porpoising and jumping constantly, catching hopeless glimpses of the ocean beyond.

The disgraceful act of driving these dolphins from the ocean and incarcerating them for human greed was likely the first contact these dolphins have ever had with humans. Being dragged roughly into skiffs was the first time they have ever been out of the ocean, except for jumping and diving in the waves.
We as a species have a great responsibility to protect the natural world, the creatures who give life to the ocean, and in turn, ourselves. What has been done to these dolphins is inexcusable. Two days ago these dolphins were free, living their lives the way nature intended, now they are no longer living but just surviving. They are now cramped into another sea pen outside of the harbour. Still without food. Still without freedom.
