MasterCard Exploits Dolphins in Singapore!

MasterCard is offering members discounted tickets to go to Resorts World Sentosa in Singapore, the ocean park that ripped off 27 wild dolphins from the Solomon Islands.  At least two of the dolphins have died so far; the rest are being kept in the Philippines in sea pens as they are “trained” to do tricks for Singapore audiences.

YOU CAN HELP!

Contact these representatives of MasterCard and ask them (politely, please!) to stop offering discounted tickets to Resorts World Sentosa in Singapore or ANY FACILITY that features live captive dolphins:

Please sign the petition to ask Mastercard to cancel its ticket promotion to Resorts World Sentosa:

We are asking Resorts World Sentosa to return the captive dolphins to their home in the Solomon Islands, where they belong in the wild.

Thanks for your support!  I appreciate it!
