Empty The Tanks Worldwide

Clean up your local park, beach or community - or join one of the group cleanups listed on the last slide! 🌎🐬 You don't need to live near the ocean to help make a difference- EVERY piece of plastic you pick up is one less item that can get into waterways and potentially harm animals. 🌊🐬 ⁠ ⁠ #CleanOceansForFreeDolphins #EmptyTheTanks #DolphinProject⁠ #worldoceanday #dolphin #beachcleanup #dolphins

Each year, there is an #EmptyTheTanksWorldwide event at West Edmonton Mall in Canada. This Mall has a troubling history with marine mammal captivity. In 1985, 4 Atlantic bottlenose dolphins were captured off the coast of Florida and brought to the West Edmonton Mall. Over the years, several dolphin died, including calves that were born here. By 2003 only a lone male remained. The last dolphin to swim in West Edmonton Mall, Howard, left Edmonton in 2004. He died almost a year later at Theater of the Sea marine mammal park in Florida.⁠ ⁠ Now, the tanks that once housed these dolphins hold sea lions as the current "mid-mall entertainment act." ⁠ ⁠ No marine mammal belongs in a landlocked shopping mall. Thank you so much for continuing to speak up for these animals! ⁠ ⁠ #EmptyTheTanks #westedmontonmall #animals #sealion #marinemammal
