Marine Mammal Anti-Captivity Officer
Global Ocean funds Janja Novak to be Marine Connection's Anti-Captivity Officer as she's a passionate young person dedicated to the welfare of whales and dolphins.
Due to animal traders such as Canadian Chris Porter, pods of dolphins are arguably being unsustainably caught and sold from poor countries with limited protections to aquariums in developed countries worldwide.
In addition, fishermen in Japan are paid by the captivity industry to round up whole pods of dolphins so that they can select individuals for their swimming pools - the unlucky animals that don't get put in swimming pools, are then inhumanely slaughtered – probably for dog food.
