Water Land, which originated in Cali, Colombia, established since 1996-1997 in Margarita Island, Venezuela. It is a company that has very bad international reputation, basically for abusive treatment to dolphins, sea lions and seals. A strong local animal welfare opposition kept the show from entering many countries such as Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru, Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica and Puerto Rico, have denied the settlement and shows of this company in their territories. http://crueldadanimalencircos.blogspo... The best audiovisual material that shows how this company abuses of nature is the one made by Richard O'Barry (Earthlink, 1997). The documentary shows the sad management of cetaceans that Waterland does around Argentina, Trinidad, Colombia, Maracaibo (Venezuela) and Margarita Island (Venezuela), and finally evidencing the death of a dolphin named Cheryl, and how the owners denied such death. Cheryl was dead. She had died between the afternoon of October 29 and evening of October 30, and Diver Land was covering it up. A few days later, Evan Glassett ran into the owner of the dive shop that contracts the swim program at DiverLand. He told Glassett in confidence that Cheryl had died. When asked how Cheryl had died, he replied: "Her heart burst from stress." The following morning, the Earth Undercover video team and O'Barry confronted Margarita and Roca. Both acted surprised at the mention of Cheryl. They claimed they never had four dolphins and then quite abruptly they ejected the team from the park. Ten years have passed since Richard risk his life to let us see the real face of this water circus. Many animals death have been denied and buried inside a mechanical park... we claimed for justice and instead the Environmental Ministry gave the company the permit for a zoo and they caught more than 150 animals around the island to put them inside the amusement park, full of concrete, many animals have died so far... Now Mr. O'Barry have let us show to all the dark side of that company to ask for justice of all those animals that have died in that park... in those hands... please do not let more animals to died and suffer in that terrible company...

I've written about this sad and cruel story in Japanese with this video to let Japanese people know the truth and of course it is dedicated to her, Cheryl. I'll never forget you, Cheryl. I feel that your sprit is always with us when we think about you with love. Love from France!
Thank you for posting this story/video... it's a shocking and sad story but it needs to be told. It is so unfortunate that Waterworld and hundreds of places like it are still open for business around the world!
Cheryl was captured and used by people for years - the last thing on Earth she deserved was to be stuck in a dumpy circus show for the rest of her life!! She should have been freed.. she COULD have been freed if someone didn't steal her from Ric O'Barry and put her back in captivity!
This shit, all the thing that shit was making its money for him Waterland is a place where dolphin teach the visitors about wild life and how to take care about it
He bought her originally so he lost money and then she was stolen from him for 4+ years! He spent so much money flying around to find her. When he did find her, he wanted to free her to her family in Russia! Cheryl died because of the terrible conditions at Waterland. They lied and covered up her death - she lived a horrible life, that no one deserves! It was like a prison for dolphins!
I have been in the movement to help marine mammals in captivity for more than a decade. No offense, but I do think I know what I am talking about here. It is scientifically proven by the Humane Society, Orca Network, Animal Rights Foundation of Florida, World Society for the Protection of Animals and many other groups that dolphins live shorter lives in captivity than in the wild. Captive dolphins are also exposed to much more stress.
Have you ever worked with dolphins or been to Waterland?
so when you see dolphins jump around in a pool, you learn how to take care of a dolphin? you should zap from MTV to animal planet for once, THAT'S where you learn! or maybe go on a whale watching boat! that's learning for ya!
