Jump To Comment: 1 2The fact that this crowd repeatedly leave animals to die through neglect should result in a ban on having them - its as simple as that. This is no genuine mistake, as if they gave a damn they would have learned after the first one. The fact that the animals in question are both endangered and notoriously difficult to keep makes it even more serious.
If a person repeatedly let their cats/dogs etc. die from starvation/poor housing conditions, if a petshop did it, they would be investigated and hopefully fined/banned from keeping animlas in the future. This situation is no different. Shame on the company, its staff and the airport for allowing this to happen.
We need legislation to protect exotic animals and to prevent companies from using animals as marketing tools.
The ALLIANCE FOR ANIMAL RIGHTS is pleased to announce that the Seahorse tank
at Dublin Airport has now been removed from the Departures wall (after one
demonstration ).
We had been in contact with both Estee Lauder in the UK who own's Creme de
la Mer and the Retail Manager of Aer Rianta Paul Neeson. The latter refused
point blant to remove the tank on our last conversation. However ONE
demonstration covering both roads into the Airport on Monday last must have
showed them we were not giving in.See original PR below for the story so
far.
We are delighted this tank is now gone and that no more Seahorses will be
suffocated at Dublin Airport.
We will continue trying to stop these creatures being used as displays in
shops. The company who gives these fish out is SEAHORSE IRELAND.Seahorse
Ireland will still be lobbied to end this trade.
Thank you to everyone who contacted those concerned and especially the
SHELLFISH NETWORK UK who worked hard on this issue. Your help is much
appreciated.
Bernie Wright.
AFAR.
