Two important events are quickly approaching for marine
mammal activists.
We are hoping that everyone will get involved in one or
both of these events:
Marine Mammal Freedom Weekend (MMFW) - Memorial Day
Weekend, which this year is May 27-29.
World Week for Captive Dolphins - July 1-8.
ORCA and In Defense of Animals are coordinating actions
in U.S./Canada for MMFW and World Week. Traditionally, actions taking
place during these events include protests at marine parks and
aquariums, leafleting, tabling, media events, etc.
If you are involved in a campaign against a marine park
or aquarium, please participate in either one of both of these important
events. We particularly hope to include actions at the following
facilities:
Sea World - San Diego, San Antonio, Cleveland, Orlando
Vancouver Aquarium
Shedd Aquarium
Dallas World Aquarium
Miami Seaquarium
Marineland
Hershey Park, Pennsylvania
Edmonton Mall
Point Defiance Aquarium
Texas State Aquarium, Corpus Christi
Virginia Marine Science Museum
There are of course many others. And, if you don't live
in an area with a facility displaying captive marine mammals, you can
still participate. We can supply you with ideas and materials, if
needed.
If you would like to be involved and can help plan
something in your area, or would like further information, please
contact Cathy O'Brien or Suzanne Roy at the address/phone/e-mail below.
Thanks all for your help. Really hope to have a great
turnout this year and to make MMFW and World Week bigger and better than
ever.
