Suffering, not Smiling
The Truth About Captive Dolphins

Discussions with Haw Par
On 18th July 2003, Acres held a meeting with Underwater World Singapore and Haw Par. Despite the facts presented by Acres, Underwater World did not see a problem with keeping dolphins in captivity at Dolphin Lagoon. As such, we failed to reach an agreement during this meeting.

Acres, however, still hoped for a positive dialogue with Haw Par. In September 2003, Acres sent a letter to Haw Par, inviting them to a meeting to discuss our concerns with regards to the dolphins at Dolphin Lagoon.

However, Mr Wee, then President and CEO of Haw Par replied stating that "I would like to henceforth treat this matter as closed".

Acres is disappointed that this matter was treated as closed by Haw Par, even before we had the chance to hold further discussions with them. Acres sent Haw Par further letters but again met with an unfavourable response.

Acres continues to campaign for the release of the dolphins at Dolphin Lagoon.
