Disappointment over Dolphin license

Monday, May 23, 2005

Dear Sir,

Reference your article 17 May - “Import license approved to bring in eight Dolphins Approved.”

The good Lord put fish in the water; you take them out, they die. He put lions, tigers, etc. in the wild; you remove them they are likely to eat you. You remove turtle from water for very long and it dies. Even trees die when taken out of their normal surroundings. Things do not go right when living creatures or things are removed from their natural habitat.

When we ignore God’s word and interfere with the way He created things to work, we often reap tragedy, like the world’s seven richest men of some years back, where four committed suicide and the other three were let out of prison to die at home penniless.

I oppose the importation of these dolphins and am disappointed that the Department of Agriculture granted such a license.
