Primorye: Dov in the "whale prison" consider excursions legitimate
The Kitov prison responded to the accusation of the zoo defenders about excursions for children. In one of Afalin’s clawing companies, they said that the reactication of the killer whales and belugs were not started, since there are no individual plans and persons responsible for this. This was reported by RIA Novosti.
"Today, the implementation of the reactication process needs to be asked who recommended it. These plans are not yet, there are no persons responsible for the process of response. They (measures to reacting) must be enshrined in documented," the company representative said. He also noted that the tours are provided for by a tripartite agreement between companies, scientists and the administration of the Primorsky Territory.
The company representative said that their team never engaged in reaping - they can work with animals only so that the wanders and belugas are used to a person. And the recommendations for the reapation were "advisory in nature".
"Our animal coaches adapt, they have competence to make the animal get used to a person, not afraid, performs a set of commands and eat properly. Nobody ever did the entire reverse procedure," the company representative added.
On June 2, it became known that the abolders conduct free excursions for children to a whale prison located in the Middle Bay. The zoo defender Nina Zyryanova said that representatives of the trappers are traveling to Nakhodka’s children's institutions and are invited to excursions.
“This is not done with the aim of earn at least some pennies, but in order to exclude the reappection of. To tie the unfortunate animals to the presence of people so that they stop being afraid of them, and to make it easier to sell ... The Chinese will not buy wild animals ... They need a ready-made, suppressed goods. Puppets who will perform tricks because of hunger,” Zyryanova shared.
- According to the Russian Greenpeace, the Kitolovs wanted to sell the wanders and belugs to the Chinese aquariums. In Russia, dolphins cannot be obtained for commercial purposes, but animals were caught by cultural and educational quota. The cost of one killer whale in dolphinaries and oceanariums in China is from 1 to 15 million dollars.
- Two of the four companies engaged in capture braids and beluga, located in a “whale prison” in Primorye, admitted that they made animals by order of foreign oceanariums.
- At the end of April, the scientific consultation of Rosrybolovy allowed to release all the killer whales and beluga contained in the so -called "whale prison" in the Bay of the Middle Primorsky Territory. At the same time, Russian and foreign scientists believe that the process of adaptation of animals before releasing can take a lot of time.
- Specialists from the team of the Oceans researcher Jean-Michel Kousto handed over the Ministry of Natural Resources of Russia a preliminary report on the situation with animals from Kitov Prison. A group of Russian and foreign experts came to the conclusion that the wanders and belugas can be released.
- On May 31, the court recognized illegal decisions of the Rosrybolovstvo on the distribution of quotas on the capture of the wares and belugs to the companies "Afalin", "White Kit", "Oceanarium DV" and "Sochi Dolphinarium". The lawsuit was filed by three public organizations: "Ecological Watch of Sakhalin", the club "Boomerang" and "Friends of the Ocean". At the same time, activists demanded that Rosprirodnadzor remove animals that were already in the so -called “whale prison” and release them to the will, but they were refused this.
