"Please... please, have mercy," What a sight to behold: the stoic and defiant Whumpee, on their knees, forehead to the ground. There was no tremor to their voice nor a tremble to their form. An earnest request.
They were begging on behalf of Whumper's newer, smaller captive. The poor thing was terrified out of their mind as they were dragged away to be hurt for the very first time. They weren't blind to Whumpee's scars and injuries. They knew damn well what was in store for them with Whumper.
"Hurt me if you must, but please, please spare them," Whumpee raised their head from its position on the floor. The genuine desperation in their eyes practically made Whumper light up, "Please, please, please try to find compassion. Please have mercy."

Recently, as part of the Empty the Tanks campaign we had volunteers travel to Mexico in order to document the dolphin captivity facilities w
Recently, Empty the Tanks - Capitulo México volunteers went to investigate dolphinariums within the state of Quintana Roo, a tourism hotspot where you can find places such as Cancun and Cozumel. Shockingly, this small area has 19 marine parks that profit off of the exploitation of cetaceans (whales, dolphins, and porpoises).
In an article from the Dolphin Project, founder of Empty the Tanks, Rachel Carbary, describes what volunteers found at “Delphinus”, a company that operates several marine parks in the region under the same brand name. Poor water quality, pollution in the animals environment, blatant falsities to guests in regards to how dolphin family units work, noise pollution and shockingly small tank size were just some of what volunteers found.
Dolphins were documented to have abrasions on their rostrums at a location in Playa Mujeres due to the constant foot work that occurs in dolphin interactions. At another location in Cancun, the cetaceans were found to have excessive rake marks (teeth on skin gashes) across their bodies:
“Rake marks such as what we see on the dolphins in captivity are well beyond what is seen or documented in the wild. There is a Delphinus facility inside The Interactive Aquarium in Cancun, and there were obvious signs of tank mate bullying taking place there. On each of the visits to that location, volunteers witnessed a single dolphin being bullied so badly it would jump out of the water and onto the edge of the tank to get away from the other dolphins. Again, in the wild these animals have the entire ocean when they need to flee, but in captivity they are trapped.”
These are just two examples of the shockingly horrible conditions volunteers found at Delphinus parks. To read more, please check out the full article published above.
Animal rights activists and dolphin zoo set aside enmity to collaborate on sea sanctuary
Naaman Zhou - June 14, 2020
On the north coast of New South Wales, two traditional enemies have put aside their longstanding differences for a common goal: dolphins. As the impact of coronavirus has hit the Dolphin Marine Conservation Park in Coffs Harbour, the zoo’s owners and animal rights advocates have come together to propose a radical plan – housing the animals in a semi-open sea enclosure.
Under a proposal from the marine park, the group Action for Dolphins and World Animal Protection, the zoo’s dolphins will be released from their concrete pools and live into a sectioned-off area of the Coffs Harbour marina. Terry Goodall, the managing director of the Dolphin Marine Conservation Park, said it was like “polar opposites working together”.
Jordan Sosnowski, advocacy director of Action for Dolphins, said it was a “very unique collaboration” between the marine park, and her group, which opposes keeping animals in captivity.
“I don’t think there’s anything like it anywhere else in the world,” she said.
“They were our nemeses in the past,” Goodall told Guardian Australia. “Now we are holding hands and walking down the road together, trying to solve the problem. It’s just a complete and utter turnaround. We don’t agree on everything, but we agree on the wellbeing of the dolphins.”
The marine park currently houses three bottlenose dolphins: Zippy 32, Bella, 15, and Jet, 11, and it has been hit hard by closures enforced by Covid-19 restrictions. Because all three have been raised solely in captivity, they cannot survive in the wild, Goodall said. After becoming manager of the park in August 2018, Goodall said he spoke to Sosnowski, who proposed the idea of the open sea enclosure. This would give the dolphins 10 times the space they currently have, and visitors would be able to see them in the marina.
“We have had a long-running battle with them over the past few years, quite a few years in fact. When I came on board, I met with Jordan from Action for Dolphins. I invited her in, and we just sat down talking.
“They had always wanted the dolphins released back into the wild. I said they simply can’t be released back into the wild. They had never seen a shark. So they wouldn’t last two minutes … Ideally, they would be wild in the ocean, but they can’t be, so the sea sanctuary is the next best option.”
Sosnowski agreed the dolphins could not be safely released into the wild because they didn’t have the necessary skills needed to survive.
“A sea sanctuary is a humane compromise which will allow the animals to live in the ocean and have a lot more autonomy, whilst still ensuring they are looked after and fed by caregivers,” Sosnowski said.
Together, the groups have been approaching the government for funding, and promoting the benefits of the idea. He said that as well as being a tourist attraction, the enclosure could act as a “halfway house” for the rehabilitation of stranded wild dolphins or whales.
“This little park generates something like $15m a year into the local economy,” he said. “So we don’t want to lose it. A sea sanctuary like this one has huge potential for the city of Coffs Harbour, providing much-needed jobs in the aftermath of the pandemic, boosting tourism and most importantly, providing a better life for the dolphins,” Sosnowski said. And as they wait, the dolphins have been missing their human visitors during Covid-19, Goodall said.
“They do like human interaction. Far be it for me to more anthropomorphic about this, but you can see it. They swim around looking out of the pool all the time. They have balls they play with – they throw them out, expecting people to throw them back in. They end up playing ball with themselves.”
The unlikely allies have made several approaches to the local federal MP Pat Conaghan, the state MP Gurmesh Singh and the local council.
“You have got to build the breakwalls, you have to build the nets – so we are probably talking $9m to $10m,” Goodall said. “We are probably going to end up putting a Go Fund Me program together.”
But both the park and the activists are determined to push ahead.
“We can’t release them into the wild because it would be a death sentence, so what other options are there?” Goodall said. “Nobody wants to see them swimming around in concrete lagoons. Whilst it is expensive, and politically fraught, it is a solution. And it’s a bloody good one.”
Whumpee is in captivity. They have been for quite some time now. Hope of escape/rescue is wearing thin, and they're breaking down.
And above all else, they just want to go home.
Even if the whumper was gracious enough to provide them with a bed, its just not the same as sleeping in their bed. They miss their family and want to see them again. Even if it's just one last time- because they never got to say goodbye.
Which makes the rescue even better.
They don't want medical care, they don't want to testify, it can wait. All they want is to go home.
In honor of my birthday, here's a quick drabble. This actually comes fairly later in the timeline, but all that really matters is that Dollface is a total Prick and fits Ethan with a shock collar at some point.
~~~
3:06AM. Friday, March 13th, 1998.
An unremarkable date and time for most people, but for Emma and Richard Rosalind, it was the day their fifth child was born. A beautiful baby girl that they named Jaclynn. They had high hopes for this baby-- and absolutely no way to predict how many lives she would end up taking or ruining.
So, fast forward to 2020.
Funny how dates work. Like, she celebrates her birthday every year, but things get interesting when it falls on a Friday.
It was early in the morning. Three in the morning to be more specific. Ethan and Micah were curled up close to eachother. Both fast asleep. That is until Dollface grabbed Micah by his collar and practically threw him to the ground.
He shot awake from the impact to see a masked Dollface holding a machete in her hand. Tears pricked at the corners of his eyes. Even in the darkness, he could recognize that silhouette in a heartbeat.
"No... please..." Micah's voice was weak and tired, he was so broken down for her and she loved it, "...please, not yet, please, I'm begging you..." Ethan had awoken by now, too. And just before he could start to cuss her out, Dollface flicked on the lights and pulled up her mask.
"Come on, it's Friday the 13th. Well, I guess you have no way of keeping track of time down here, huh?" She twirled the giant blade in her hand as she spoke.
"Of course it is..." Ethan mumbles under his breath, "so you woke us up in the middle of the night just to scare us?"
"It's more than just that. It's my birthday." She rolled her eyes at him as if he was in the wrong to be irritated. "And I wanted to celebrate twenty-two with you." Twenty-two. Girl couldn't even legally drink until last year. How could someone so young and small be capable of doing this?
Dollface brought the tip of the long blade to Micah's neck. A whimper escapes his lips as the point pressed against his windpipe with just enough pressure to not break skin. She straddled his waist, one knew if either side of his trembling figure.
"Stop! Get away--" Ethan was powering towards them, but a quick shock to the throat sent him down to his knees. When he tried to get back up, he was greater with an even longer flash of electricity.
Micah tried to stay calm, but instead let out shaky breaths as the blade traces down his throat and across his chest, eventually settling on his stomach.
The quiet breaths were replaced by a sharp wince and loud sobs when the blade sunk into his abdomen. Blood leaked out of the wound and Ethan finally regained enough strength to crawl over.
"No, no, no! Don't let him die- you can't, don't kill him!" Ethan cried out.
"Calm down, he's not gonna die." Dollface responded by twisting the blade deeper inside of him. Micah borderline screamed at the sensation. He was unrestrained-- every part of him just wanted to grab her hands, do something to put an end to this-- but his conditioning refused to let him.
"Please-- please, ah- hurts, st-stop, I can't-- ah! Please!" Micah tried to beg for some kind of reprieve, bust Dollface seemed to have no intent on stopping.

Barcelona “ declare itself officially free of cetaceans in captivity”
May. 1, 2018
Dolphinaria-Free Europe on facebook
Barcelona - first city in Europe to declare itself officially free of cetaceans in captivity. The City Council will no longer allow new facilties to be built or additional cetaceans to be imported for public display. With regards to the dolphins currently held at Barcelona zoo, it is hoped the marine mammals will be relocated to a sanctuary as soon as possible. Congratulations to our member FAADA who helped bring about this fantastic achievement.
Semo, a bottlenose dolphin, died on May 1, 2018 at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. The male dolphin was 54 years old and was the oldest-known male bottlenose dolphin in the United States, originally exhibited at Marineland of the Pacific after his capture in 1969. Following the closure of Marineland, Semo was transferred to Sea World (1987), then Minnesota Zoo (1991) and finally, Six Flags Discovery Kingdom (2012)
