© iStockPhoto.com/CostinTShipping whales like cargo around the world only to confine them to an aquarium for the rest of their lives is cruel and unjustifiable.
Breeding whales does not save whales: Breeding programs for beluga whales have been unsuccessful despite more than 50 years of trying.
There is a public comment period for the next 60 days, and we need your voice to make sure that the whales stay put! Contact the National Marine Fisheries Service and use the suggested text below to ask officials to deny the Georgia Aquarium its request for a permit!
Suggested text:
I am writing to ask that you deny the Georgia Aquarium a permit to import 18 wild-caught beluga whales from Russia for captive breeding and exhibition at marine parks and aquariums. Beluga breeding programs in the United States have been largely unsuccessful, and there is no compelling evidence that these programs create interest in, educate visitors on, or change people’s attitudes about conservation. Beluga whales have distinct personalities and form strong familial bonds, and when confined to aquarium tanks, their natural instincts are thwarted. Instead of swimming for miles a day with their families, these complex and intelligent animals are reduced to swimming in endless circles in barren tanks and often performing silly stunts for marine-park crowds.
Aquariums are a stifling environment for beluga whales compared to the vast open ocean. Captive whales live half as long as their counterparts in the wild. Please give these animals a chance at a normal, fulfilling life by refusing to allow the Georgia Aquarium to import them for breeding purposes—which have proved to be unsuccessful in a stressful, captive atmosphere. These unique animals deserve much more than to be treated as moneymaking commodities.
Thank you for your consideration.

I am writing to ask that you deny the Georgia Aquarium a permit to import 18 wild-caught beluga whales from Russia for captive breeding and exhibition at marine parks and aquariums. Beluga breeding programs in the United States have been largely unsuccessful, and there is no compelling evidence that these programs create interest in, educate visitors on, or change people’s attitudes about conservation. Beluga whales have distinct personalities and form strong familial bonds, and when confined to aquarium tanks, their natural instincts are thwarted. Instead of swimming for miles a day with their families, these complex and intelligent animals are reduced to swimming in endless circles in barren tanks and often performing silly stunts for marine-park crowds.
Aquariums are a stifling environment for beluga whales compared to the vast open ocean. Captive whales live half as long as their counterparts in the wild. Please give these animals a chance at a normal, fulfilling life by refusing to allow the Georgia Aquarium to import them for breeding purposes—which have proved to be unsuccessful in a stressful, captive atmosphere. These unique animals deserve much more than to be treated as moneymaking commodities.
Thank you for your consideration.

I’m writing this letter to speak up for these mammals which are being exploited by entertainment industries. This is unethical and unjust. Confinement of an intelligent mammal such as a whale is not acceptable. These mammals are very friendly and family oriented, like us. These mammals swim great lengths in the wild and enjoy the companionship of their families and friends. Confining them to a tank is going against nature. Exploiting and animal and taking away their liberty in order to gain profit is unjustifiable. The population should not accept the critical conditions which these mammals are kept. It’s inhumane, unnatural and cruel. These mammals deserve freedom, just like any human being. They are taken captive by humans and taken away from their habitat. It’s theft and it’s disgusting. I hope you reconsider, because this sort of animal exploitation should NEVER exist.

Please do not approve this permit. Animals are just as important to the world as humans, just because they cannot speak up for themselves does not mean they should be treated differently. Humans are not putting each other in cages for no reason so we should not put animals in cages either.

Please let wild animals stay right where they belong. You may think you are providing them enough space to swim in your aquarium, but nothing can be greater than the great ocean. Take a minute and think about it: you are in your house, freely walking, running, watching television or hugging your loved ones when suddenly someone came and captured you. You panic (I hope you will) and then they condemned you into a tiny cage where you can just sit, wait for food, no tv and no family. No one would like to live that way. We humans don’t want that and it is the same for the animals.
Please understand that.
Thank you.

Please dont allow the aquarium to take wild whales and put them in a program that is not successful. It is like putting innocent creatures in jail.

I am writing to ask that you deny the Georgia Aquarium a permit to import 18 wild-caught beluga whales from Russia for captive breeding and exhibition at marine parks and aquariums. Belugas shouldn’t be deprived of their natural home, or even be used for the entertainment of the public. Aquariums restrict belugas from their natural movement, in which belugas swim a vast amount of miles a day, yet the aquarium places them in a tank that deprives them of such movement. Belugas also have a family, what gives us the right to separate them from their family. Please don’t let this permit pass. You can make a difference in a beluga’s life by not letting this permit pass.

I’m writing to ask that you please deny the permit requested by the Georgia Aquarium. These 18 wild-caught beluga whales would be help captive for exhibition and breeding at these parks/aquariums, and this process has already been proven unsuccessful. Beluga whales are very close to their families, and when you separate them, their natural instincts go away. These animals will be trapped in tanks for the rest of their lives. Beluga whales will do much better naturally in the oceans. Thanks for your consideration.

Please do not let this pass. Belugas are suppose to be in the wild not in some aquarium across the US. They should be swimming in the waters they were born in and raised in not in a aquarium that seems like a bathtub to them. They need to be free to learn how to survive on there own not from some trainer.
