New German Documentary on Captivity

By Ric O’Barry
Director
Dolphin Project
Earth Island Institute

Recently, I was filmed on the topic of dolphins in captivity and the fact that captivity subsidizes the slaughter of dolphins in places like Taiji, Japan.

Our good friend Hans Peter Roth was also filmed, and he makes a very friendly host and speaker too.

This German documentary hits the nail on the head.  It’s not too long, and I encourage you to watch it.

My thanks to Director Raimund Waltenberg and Volker Angres (head of "Planet e" in ZDF).  They’ve done a great job!

Thanks also to Hans Peter Roth for his efforts to continue to promote the protection of dolphins, especially in Germany and Switzerland.
