A few years ago Anguilla’s idyllic profile was marred by the presence of a dolphin park nearing Blowing Point. I was not a visitor to the island at the time but I surely would never support this sort of venture. During TS Omar they were still on island because I personally spoke to an islander who helped bring the dolphins to a swimming pool for safety!! Since I learned the program closed and the mammals were off to some other horrid life in another park.
I read of this news on a blog written by Don Mitchell a controversial local on island. Don says it as it is and I believe offers an honest straight to the issue kind of commentary. Before I get all wound up I hope to be come better informed. I hope my readers do as well.
Anguilla is a small and intimate island. It caters to nature lovers and those seeking an escape from the tourism machine. Simply put it’s that out of the way semi unspoiled island life we love to escape and turn off the clocks to unwind a little. Knowing there are lovely mammals in captivity will put a scar on this lovely spot. I for one will re think my plans to market and return to Anguilla. I have to make a stand. Will you?
