Support The Us Swim Act! But...
posted on January 31, 2024
SUPPORT THE US SWIM ACT TO BAN MARINE LIFE PRISONS BUT DON”T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKES AS IN CANADA!
There is no total ban for imprisoning marine life in aquariums or zoos under the misleading Canadian Cetacean “Ban”! There are compromises that perpetuate captivity!
The Canadian Cetacean “Ban” must be a true ban by removing the exemptions for “scientific research" on cetaceans and any so-called claimed “care”. They can still be imprisoned and even subjected to experiments.
The SWIMS ACT could include prohibiting the taking, importation, or exportation of whales for the purpose of public display; and prohibiting any breeding of whales for future public display.
U.S. residents only can help pass the US SWIMS Act by contacting their U.S. House & Senate Representatives.
The US, Canada and other countries must implement True Bans on All Cetacean Captivity without any exemptions for research and so-called “care”! NO MORE COMPROMISES!
In Canada, Lifeforce volunteers stopped the decades long beluga captures in the calving grounds for aquariums worldwide. The Lifeforce direct action protests in Churchill, Manitoba in 1990 helped put an end to the inhumane captures. Our actions also included international bans because we proved the inhumane whale imprisonment in Japan’s SeaWorld. Canadian Federal government outlawed it!
