According to local media reports, Indonesia’s environment and forestry ministry admitted one of the dolphins was half blind and all of them were toothless, but it said all of the dolphins were found to be healthy.
Despite a global call for the release of four dolphins held in a resort pool in Bali, there has been no action. In fact, the Indonesian government has pronounced a good health report for the dolphins.
According to local media reports, Indonesia’s environment and forestry ministry admitted one of the dolphins was half blind and all of them were toothless, but it said all of the dolphins were found to be healthy.
The dolphins gained international attention when an Australian animal rights group captured the dolphins in their environment at Wake Bali Resto and Dolphin on video. According to the group, the dolphins were poorly and the pool was small.
The resort had already earlier sparked protests when it opened. NGOs said keeping dolphins in a chlorinated pool would cause the creatures to suffer a slow, horrific death.
The Indonesian government has declined to shut down the facility, according to media reports.
