When we heard that the #supertrawler Frank Bonefaas was due to arrive at The Port of Dover last Thursday, we knew we had to seize this rare opportunity to film it and show its true scale. The Frank Bonefaas is notorious for being found fishing illegally in a protected area off Cornwall and is one of six #supertrawlers in the English Channel right now. We believe that ships like these are respon...

    Finally getting around to reading the book right now. It isn't a writing masterpiece, but oh my goodness, the stories this amazing man has to tell! I was hooked by the third sentence. The book is vulnerable and really dives into the delusions we have about the natural world and wildlife around us and our fascination and desire to control those aspects. It's a great read so far, can't put it down.

    People, please read his book "Beyond the surface" - it is amazing and it tells so much more than blackfish. Don't get me wrong, blackfish was very, very good, but in the book you get so much information about the orca's, their characters and how they love in their natural habit. It is available in aidiobook form, too. Just go to Amazon or use audioable. And to get this straight : I don't know John, I am from Europe and I finished the book 2 days ago. I am writing this because I want to and I really hope he will write more of them. My respect for this man is very, very high. He fought pain medication with opioids and I know that fight. I saw these big macho men crying like babies when they didn't have their medication and John got it. He has so many injuries, I wonder how he can live with them without that pills. 2) to leave the whales he loved to much and spoke out shows a strong character. I hope we will hear more from him. Best wishes from Austria 😀👍👍🇦🇹

    Now, during our current state of pandemonium, Watching as many videos about Physeter Macro has reinforce some of the most important values: Being good to my mother. Taking care of my family. And learning from my grandparents experiences. More importantly, the importance of raising my daughter up to be the a thick-skinned woman who will have to one day, be the one to retrieve the squid from the deep sea of life, and in turn, teach her own children. I just pray I get to be there to wait at the top with her children, my own grandchildren and great grands. To teach them through my own experiences. And that is life. To some, that seems miniscule. To me, that's the beauty. To continue to instill values and principles so that it is consistently exercise into this world generation after generation. Especially if the values or principles center around goodness. Why? Good people are the only thing that changes the world. It's the only thing that ever did. And generations of good people, means generations of good people changing the world. Thank you.

      I agree. A trainer leaked a photo 2 years ago of a whales fin cut in half and infected. Gate fell on the whale. But SeaWorld said no big deal he is OK. Lolita over 50 years old in a round backyard swimming pool that is so small. SeaWorld has been fined for it. And she is alone. They left her in the pool during the last big hurricane. They promised to make her pool bigger but instead bought roller-coasters. Google her pool. Celebrities are speaking out against SeaWorld and want to donate money for sea pens where they can retire in the ocean with the trainers taking care of them. Baltimore Aquarium sent their dolphins to a sea sanctuary. About time and a few other aquariums have to. Trip Advisor dropped SeaWorld from their package deals and celebrities refuse to play there. They tell the fans at concerts stay away from SeaWorld. Watch the captain tell his story on catching the babies whales for SeaWorld on UA-cam . It's graphic. It's his biggest regret. Hearing the mom's crying for their babies and vice versa had me sobbing. He said they shot the mother"s and put rocks in them to sink them. That's SeaWorld. Yeah they help animals but they also keep ones that are supposed to be released. Sorry this is long but it's still going on with Lolita over 50 years old in a small pool. I can't even imagine her life. So wrong.

They steal people's pets to cook them. It's so horrible to see. They laugh to. China is not a good place obviously.

    O'barry has also been accused of mistreating two dolphins who lived at the Sugarloaf Dolphin Sanctuary while rehabbing them for life in the wild them into the wild. He also violated the Marine Mammal Protections Act. The dolphins were named Luther and Buck. They were food deprived and forced to be wild. Then in 1996, Ric O'barry took them on a boat out to sea and threw those dolphins overboard. Luther was found 4 days later approaching boats and jetskis, begging for food, had a plastic bag in his dorsal fin, had infected lacerations, had a hole in his dorsal fin, and had a bruised belly. Buck was also malnourished, had infected lacerations, and had a hole in his dorsal fin. Buck was taken to the Dolphin Research Center where he died a couple of years later. The sanctuary was found, "Indefensible" and releasing the dolphins was described as, "improper and inhumane".
