Sofi, a dolphin in las vegas from Seaworld, gave birth to a baby. The father is Kenobi from Georgia Aq. It makes me sick to my stomach.
if you look closely, there are sores or ulcers in this dolphins mouth. full size photos are on my facebook.com/mojavedolphins (at Secret Garden & Dolphin Habitat At The Mirage)
The weather in Las Vegas will be at excessive levels tomorrow. The dolphins 🐬 are still in Las Vegas without a shade structure. We need to keep pushing on the Mirage. 702-791-7111 (at Secret Garden & Dolphin Habitat At The Mirage)
Bottlenose dolphin, Alia (10 years old), died on May 22, 2018 at Dolphinaris Arizona. Alia was born at SeaWorld Orlando in December 2007. She had lived at Discovery Cove and Six Flags Discovery Kingdom prior to Dolphinaris. "According to a release from the company, the 10-year-old female bottlenose dolphin, named Alia, died early Tuesday morning. Dolphinaris said the cause of death is not known at this time, and will be determined by a necropsy. "Alia had displayed some unusual behaviors in last few days and she was being monitored," the company said. "She was under continual care by Dolphinaris staff and veterinarians." Dolphinaris said she was "with her dolphin companions and her caretakers when she died." "Alia will be greatly missed, she was a lively and loving part of the Dolphinaris family," the company said." https://www.12news.com/article/news/local/valley/second-dolphin-dies-at-dolphinaris-arizona/75-557145805 https://www.facebook.com/dolphinarisarizona/photos/a.816265281813198.1073741828.812798248826568/1451906641582389/?type=3&theater (at Dolphinaris Arizona)
Thank you again to everyone who showed up to Empty the Tanks on Saturday night. It is now the official ETT weekend, so keep your calendars clear for May 11th 2019! The next Mojave Dolphin specific protest usually happens around the beginning of September. Please continue to be a voice for the dolphins in the desert this summer. It is just too hot to hit the pavement for hours, but we can continue to use our voice and raise awareness in other ways. Keep sharing our posts and resources on your various social media accounts. Create your own posts. Comment on travel accounts/reviews. Send letters to our local media. Call the Mirage. We won’t stop until we get what these dolphins deserve.

On May 12th 2018, activists from as far as Canada gathered in front of the Mirage volcano in solidarity against MGM's decision to continue to display dolphins in the middle of the Mojave desert without any shade. www.MojaveDolphins.com Empty the Tanks - www.emptythetanks.org (at Secret Garden & Dolphin Habitat At The Mirage)

Did you know that dolphins can get sunburned? Humans are not the only mammals to suffer from the effects of the sun. Researchers are finding the same problem with whales and dolphins in the wild. Dolphin Research Center recognizes the dolphins need for a shade structure to remain comfortable during the summer months. Why doesn't @themiragelv when they are in the middle of the hottest place in the country?????

"The dolphin smile is nature's greatest deception," Ric says. "It creates the illusion that they're always happy. I think this multi-billion dollar captivity industry is built on that optical illusion." #MojaveDolphins Www.MojaveDolphins.com (at Secret Garden & Dolphin Habitat At The Mirage)
We are just 8 days away from our Empty the Tanks protest in front of the Mirage Hotel and Casino. Temperatures are going to be soaring into the 100s this upcoming week. I ask that you please think about the dolphins trapped in the desert without any shade these next few days. A big portion of our campaign is asking for MGM to provide the shade that the Animal Welfare Act regulations state should be there. Jim Murren promised Ric O'Barry in the beginning of October 2014 that there would be shade provided in the next year. We are now in the summer of 2018. The only shade added has been for the benefit of the "trainers" who stand outside in the sun with the animals all day. These trainers have been caught on our recording saying they do not believe that the animals are in any danger from the sun. The only shade currently comes from the small trees planted around the edges which cover the pool briefly in the early morning or late evening. During the extreme UV hours of 11am-5pm, there is hardly any shade. Animal Welfare Act regulations state under 9CFR Section 3.103(b) Facilities, Outdoor, Shelter: Natural or artificial shelter which is appropriate for the species concerned, when local climatic conditions are taken into consideration, shall be provided for all marine mammals kept outdoors to afford them protection from the weather or from direct sunlight. You can help us out in a few ways: -Call MGM Corporate directly and explain why you will not be visiting The Mirage while they have dolphins: 1-(702)-891-1844 -Call the Department of Animal Care at the Mirage and explain that you believe the Animal Welfare Act is not being abided: 1-(702)-791-7588 http://mojavedolphins.com/the-pools/

"Listless, stressful, and unhappy lives followed by an early death are the norm rather than the exception for these poor animals confined to the cramped space of the Mirage's Death Pools that are otherwise so well known for their playfulness and happy, outgoing nature in the wild. Anybody that cares about dolphins or simply has compassion for living things, in general, should boycott the Mirage and demand they stop exploiting and torturing the Mojave Dolphins. Paying to see the dolphins at the Mirage is directly supporting and encouraging animal abuse."- @sunsetactivistcollective Upcoming protest: Empty the Tanks - May 12th 🌋 7-9pm Mirage Volcano https://www.facebook.com/events/1635414806493759/?ti=icl (at Secret Garden & Dolphin Habitat At The Mirage)
We are only 10 days away from our #EmptyTheTanks protest for the #MojaveDolphins. Visit our website if you are unaware of what's happening to the dolphins at the Mirage habitat: http://mojavedolphins.com/ We will be meeting in front of the Mirage volcano from 7 until after the 9pm eruption. The volcano erupts at 8 and 9pm. It will be very crowded during this time. Please grab the signs and line up 5-10 minutes before each eruption time against the back gate, and raise those signs high! We want to be captured in the tourists photographs and be seen. If it is posisble for you, please do not pay to park within the Mirage Hotel and Casino parking lot. Lots with free parking include TI (next door), Palazzo (across the street), and Venetian (across the street). You can also use a service like LYFT. You can download and print the official posters from http://emptythetanks.org/posters/, but I will have several available for you to borrow. Please do not block the pedestrian walkway. We must keep the path clear. (at Secret Garden & Dolphin Habitat At The Mirage)
