Thank you Ric O’Barry, on behalf of the dolphins.

On the 4th of October, ACRES was delighted to host a dialogue session about dolphins with Mr. Ric O’Barry, marine mammal specialist and star of the award-winning documentary film “The Cove.”

Over 550 people attended and were treated to an evening of Mr. O’Barry sharing his amazing insights into the lives of dolphins, describing in detail why dolphins simply do not belong in captivity, and inspiring the audience to play a role in helping dolphins and conserving them in the wild.

It’s not often that we get the chance to ask questions to someone with so much knowledge, and several members of the audience jumped at the chance to ask Mr. O’Barry their questions and tap into his over 50 years of experience in working with dolphins and his vast know-how in rehabilitating and releasing captive dolphins back into the wild. Many questions centred on the plight of the 25 wild-caught dolphins destined for a lifetime in captivity at Resort World Sentosa’s (RWS) upcoming attraction and how we can help to secure their release and return them to the wild, where they belong. Mr. O’Barry assured the audience that these dolphins can in all likelihood be successfully rehabilitated and released back into the wild.

Our thanks to Ric O’Barry for taking the time to come to Singapore to help the dolphins. But as he says, whenever there are dolphins in need of help, he will be there. And the 25 wild-caught dolphins destined for a lifetime in captivity at Resort World Sentosa’s upcoming attraction certainly need all the help they can get.
