Hawaii first state to ban plastic bags at checkout

By now, it’s hardly news when a city bans plastic bags at checkout counters -- but an entire state? That’s happened in Hawaii, where Honolulu County has joined the state’s three other counties to give Hawaii a first-in-the-nation title.

QC PROSECUTOR’S OFFICE FILES CASE VS DOLPHIN SHOW PROMOTERS | Press Release | Earth Island Philippines Web Portal

Acting on the criminal complaint filed by Earth Island Institute (EII) and the Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS), Quezon City Prosecutors recommended the filing of charges against the Indofil Sea Wonders Ltd., promoters of a traveling dolphin show last December 2010.


According to the complaint filed by PAWS and EII, operators of the Angels of the Sea Dolphin and Sea Lion show, violated the Animal Welfare Act when it staged its shows during Christmas of 2010.


In their complaint, EII and PAWS alleged that the dolphins used in the shows were subjected to cruelty when the dolphins were deprived of food to obey their trainers and the animals forced to perform five shows a day everyday without any days for rest. Also, the venue for the show was at the Araneta Center in Cubao which is noisy, polluted and always busy with traffic and people. Furthermore, the dolphins were made to perform in shallow, chlorinated pools which were they also ate and defecated. In January 2012, the animals had to bear the amplified noise and pollution of the New Year Fireworks.


Marine mammal experts Dr. AA Yaptinchay and Dr. Terry Aquino also gave their expert opinion stating that dolphins in captivity, particularly those used in shows experience severe amounts of stress as they are subjected to situations and conditions unnatural to their behavior and evolution as wild animals.


Given this, Quezon City Prosecutors recommended for the appropriate filing of the case against Jose L. Avelino and Ma. Carla Mamburam proprietors of the Indofil Sea Wonders Ltd., for the violation of the Animal Welfare Act (RA 8485).
Arraignment is scheduled on 31 May 2012 at the Hall of Justice in Quezon City. ####

Most mammals won't flee climate change fast enough

As the climate changes over the next century, the ranges of nearly 90 percent of mammal species will shrink — in many cases because animals won't be able to get to areas where the climate is going to become suitable for them, says new research.

So long, and thanks for all the fish! Dolphins help Brazilian fisherman catch their prey, then swim off (but what's in it for them?)

The bottlenose dolphins of Laguna, Brazil, will herd mullet fish towards the fishermen and then - with a flick of their heads and tails - splash the water to let the boats know their haul is ready.

This would not be possible without the help of those who volunteered in the clean-up campaigns. Thank you very much from Earth Island Institute Philippines (EII-Phils), Save Freedom Island Movement (SFIM) and Wild Bird Club of the Philippines (WBCP)! This is a big victory for all of us and for Mother Earth, but our fight against trash and the reclamation project isn't over yet. Let's further strengthen our unity and widen our campaign even more. YES, WE CAN DO THIS!

Dolphin Killing Declining in Japan | The EnvironmentaList | Earth Island Journal | Earth Island Institute

"The mass slaughter of dolphins in Taiji, Japan, as depicted in The Cove documentary, is declining. Earth Island’s Cove Monitors – volunteers who observe and record the dolphin hunts during the entire 5-month season from September through the end of February – estimate that fewer than 800 dolphins were killed this past season. In the 2010-2011 hunt season, 1,190 dolphins were slaughtered for food. Japanese supporters tell us the market for dolphin and whale meat is collapsing due to IMMP’s educational efforts about high levels of mercury in dolphin meat."
