It began with an undercover investigation into Dolphin Lagoon at Underwater World Singapore (UWS). Published by Wildlife Watcher Singapore et al, the report alleged that Indo-Pacific humpbacked dolphins at the facility were contending with dirty water, disintegrating pools, and in one instance, a disfiguring form of skin cancer.UWS naturally denied the allegations and told ' Today Online ' that the dolphin's condition was not transmissible, and its condition was being monitored by a vet. The Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority of Singapore (AVA), supported UWS' statement saying that it had, "inspected UWS and found the dolphins to be in satisfactory condition."But the poor conditions at the facility were also condemned by Dr. Naomi Rose, the senior scientist for the Animal Welfare Institute , and Samantha Berg, a former SeaWorld trainer featured in the documentary ' Blackfish .' Both were in Singapore as guest speakers for an event when they visited the park to assess conditions for themselves.According to ' Asia One Singapore ,' Rose said, "the tank was full of algae and chipped paint, and the water quality was simply below standards." Berg meanwhile, queried the lack of shade for the dolphins and suggested that their housing appeared to be, "non-salvageable."Just across town from Underwater World at another captive dolphin facility, one visitor to Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) was under fire on social media . The guest in question was the Editor-in-Chief of Awesome Ocean.com, Eric Davis.Davis had posted images of himself enjoying a hands-on with the dolphins at the resort's, Dolphin Island. For the record, Awesome Ocean is a website funded in part, by SeaWorld Entertainment. It's entire objective is to counteract the negative effects of 'Blackfish,' a chilling exposure of SeaWorld that has left the park reeling.While the interaction itself is not surprising, the origin of the dolphins is, given that Mike Boos, SeaWorld's Vice-President of Zoological Operations, currently went on record to speak out against the Japanese Dolphin Hunts. "SeaWorld is opposed to this horrific practice," the company writes beneath this video published on YouTube last September.It is important to note that the dolphins at RWS did not come from a Japanese dolphin drive, but they were captured in a drive hunt that occurred in the Solomon Islands. According to the captive marine mammal website: Ceta-Base.org Four of the 27 dolphins captured, are already deceased. Two died in holding in Malaysia, one died during transport to RWS in November 2012, and a 4th died this year on May 14, 2014."Everyone here at Awesome Ocean is opposed to whaling and drive hunts that kill hundreds of dolphins and whales each year in Taiji, Japan," wrote Davis on Sep. 02.Guess that doesn't extend to Singapore.
