So wonderful that Oriole now swims freely with other seals!!  I see what you mean, you can see the dehydration just looking at the poor little thing.  Gitchi Miigwetch for giving her another chance at life!

Booni, it's great that you have these photos to learn from. We learn by doing, to see all the information available to us. It took several bird rescues, with the rehabber on the other end of the phone asking "is it thin?" - right, let me check the keel ... before I remembered to include that in my assessment. Thank you, sweet Oriole, for helping us to learn. Thank you, Booni!

ZAC & MIKA'S LEGACY -

Remember our petition last September that garnered 140,000 signatures and started the campaign that saved Zac & Mika, the two Harp Seals that were slated for certain death at the Aquarium des Iles in the Magdelan Islands? Well this spring, the Aquarium’s application to capture and display two more seal pups was REJECTED by the Ministry of Natural Resources! Aquarium Coordinator Alice Stone said that because the seal pups generated revenue, they must now be creative and find new sources of income and educational awareness.

[emc]

Well, I am glad their application was rejection because of the terms they use the seal pups. One season and you are useless to us and euthanized. Heartless to put it mildly.

I hope they are creative and come up with better ways to find income than to treat the marine resources in such temporary cast off manner.
