Jose Moreno disputes comments made by Simon Guerrero about the importation of dolphins in a response published in today's Diario Libre (see dr1 daily news Monday, 4 September 2006). Guerrero had criticized the inadequate conditions in which the dolphins are kept at Manati Park. Moreno says that it is not Manati Park that is requesting the imports, but their sister park, Dolphin Island. He explains that Dolphin Island is an open sea dolphin park. The park is located in the Bavaro area. Moreno says that there is no regulation that says that an autopsy needed to be carried out on dolphins that died at Manati Park. Moreno takes the stand on behalf of millions of tourists that visit the more than 200 dolphin parks around the world. He argues that if they are not authorized to import dolphins, they will have to close their operation.
