The story of the beluga whales Big Mouth and Little Girl AnimalsFlorida 2015-09-09 | In August 1977, two beluga whales were captured in the Churchill River estuary (Manitoba, Canada) for display at the soon-to-open Minnesota Zoo. The zoo opened to the public in 1978 and the whales, named "Big Mouth" and "Little Girl," became the most popular attraction.The book, Beluga, was published by the Minnesota Zoo in 1978.In 1984, Big Mouth suffered an injury to his lower lip that would not heal. In July 1986, Big Mouth had surgery, but problems persisted. The Minnesota Zoo considered capturing two more whales, but the public was increasingly expressing opposition to the capture and display of whales and dolphins. In April 1987, Big Mouth and Little Girl were sent to Sea World San Diego and the Minnesota Zoo's whale program was discontinued. Little Girl died in 1989 at Sea World. Big Mouth was euthanized in 1990 after not responding to treatment for a bone disease.In 1992, the Canadian government announced a ban on the capture of beluga whales for export.Download a PDF version of this video: http://download.arff.org/Beluga.pdf
Stop public contact with wild animals (Florida) AnimalsFlorida 2015-03-11 | January 25, 2015. Jungle Safari traveling zoo at the Lake Square Mall in Leesburg, Florida.At disreputable animal parks and traveling zoos in Florida, visitors are encouraged to pose for photos with baby chimpanzees, swim with baby tigers or play with other exotic animals. These "encounters" come at a price.Animals to be used for photo ops or play sessions are often removed from the care of their mothers shortly after birth. When an animal grows too large to be handled, they may be abandoned in a cage or dumped at another exhibitor. In addition to being exploitive and cruel, these money-making schemes encourage the irresponsible breeding of tigers and other captive wildlife, and only worsen a nationwide crisis of unwanted exotic animals.There is no reason why any member of the public should come in contact with wild animals and their young.
