Helen the dolphin needs a new home

Sign Now

Dear friends, Helen the dolphin at the Vancouver Aquarium wants to know where her friends went. She is the last remaining cetacean at the park after five — that's right, FIVE — others died in the span of a year and a half under the aquariums "supervision". The most recent death occurred just last month when Chester, the 3-year-old false killer whale, died of what investigators have determined as a serious infection. We must ensure Helen does not meet the same fate: sign the petition now! Enough is enough. It is time for the city to take a stand and rescue Helen the dolphin before she too succumbs to a premature and unnatural death. Vancouver must ban the display of cetaceans altogether and force the Vancouver Aquarium to send Helen to a facility where this extremely social animal can be with her own kind not alone in their sad tank. News of previous deaths prompted the city of Vancouver to take action in May and ban the display of new cetaceans in the city. But they failed to protect the dolphins, whales, and porpoises that were already held captive at the park. And since the ban's passing two more have succumbed under mysterious circumstances. Helen deserves to be happy and healthy. Sign the petition and tell Vancouver city and the Vancouver Aquarium you want freedom for Helen. Thank you,   Kelsey B. The Care2 Petitions Team
