Dear colleagues:

The fourth edition of “The Case Against Marine Mammals in Captivity” was released today and is available at http://www.hsus.org/web-files/PDF/MarMamCptvtyBklt.pdf.  This joint publication of The Humane Society of the United States and the World Society for the Protection of Animals was first published by The HSUS in 1995 – the third edition, published in 2006 by The HSUS and WSPA, was entirely updated and reformatted.  In the three years since, new research has been published and many events have occurred (particularly related to the capture of live dolphins for international trade), leading to a fourth edition with more than 80 new endnotes and several new sections and updated information in the main text.

If you would like a hard copy of this document, please let me know (and send your postal address) and I will post one to you as soon as possible.

Best,

Naomi Rose
