This is incredible. You're such a hero! I had been wondering when someone would finally take the Taiji issue to TED and the Youth are leading it! So great to see and such a wonderful speaker. Thank you so much. I can't wait to see the kind of work you're going to do as you grow.

[Katherine Pagett]

I couldn't be more proud of the way Ella conducts herself and more inspired by the passion with which she speaks!

Sorry to see such CRAP being endorsed by TED. I thought TED was supposed to be about innovation and free thought? This is tired animal rights propaganda.

[OceansSOS]

Oh. My. Goodness. Ella is a Super ★ ! This 11 minute talk is quite likely the most impressive I`ve seen on the interrelatedness of our oceans and ourselves. And I`ve seen plenty!

I especially love how Ella blasts the doors open on the secretive, lucrative dolphin slaughter - capture industry. Dolphins and whales are literally dying to ``educate`` and ``entertain`` us. Thank you so much, Ella. When the kids get it - forget it! ≈♥≈
