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 hope Cheryl's life won't be in vain. I also had no idea that marine animals could be used in traveling shows. What monster thought that one up?? I'll throw my support behind Richard any way he needs it.
And what a sad, pathetic, sick water circus this show is, and how horrible for the poor dolphins that are forced to perform in it. It's an abomination that such intelligent mammals should be prisoners in such a dirty, horrid little hellhole. If I ever go to South Americal I'll plan to look for this show and burn it to the fucking ground.
Thank you journeyman47 for this share. I am against any shows with animals for entertainment, but until now, I had no idea there were "traveling" shows of this type. These people are criminals and should be treated as such. The only way to put these places out of business completely, is for people to stop visiting these establishments. It's money driven.
Mr. O'Barry, I'm so sorry that Cheryl died. This type of show is an abomination. Too many cultures on this planet thrive on cruel exploitation of animals like her. Keep up the good fight, there are many who support you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
