VIOL FORUMITES ARE OUR BEST HOPE TO STOP THIS!

As visitors to this territory, the money you represent to our economy
is the strongest voice we have as we petition our government in order
to save these animals from the cruelty of captivity.

SAY NO TO CAPTIVE DOLPHINS IN THE US VIRGIN ISLANDS!

PLEASE SIGN THIS ONLINE PETITION! AND:
PLEASE WRITE IN THE "NOTES" THAT YOU WILL
TAKE YOUR TOURISM DOLLARS SOMEWHERE ELSE
IF THE USVI SANCTIONS THIS ANIMAL CRUELTY.

In 2010 when my wife & I visited the USVI on our honeymoon, we thought about going to Tortola to swim with the dolphins. After learning more about dolphins in captivity, we decided not to go because we didn't want our money supporting such a terrible thing.

Signed and made my name visible which I rarely do. I feel very strongly about this and it looks like I'm not alone! Thanks for the heads up BRY and for the links Lex.
