In January, 2016, we received a donation of $10,000 from Jan Pettifor, a passionate advocate for the retirement of orcas from captivity. Jan writes:
“I am from the UK where there are no captive whales or dolphins.”
She lives in Florida and is a car enthusiast. Several of her exotic vehicles sport decals that “drive” her message to end the use of orcas in entertainment.
“I use my cars to try and bring attention for the orcas and drove the Orcamobile to Marineland, Ontario for the March on Marineland.”
Her generous donation enabled us to set up The Whale Sanctuary Project, incorporate as a charity, file for tax-exemption, and begin the search for a suitable site for a seaside sanctuary.
Thank you, Jan!
