Peace for Galeo

Taken from his mother at the age of 5, Galéo was sent to Planète Sauvage where he joined other dolphins from different families and groups.

Galéo became the whipping boy of this artificial group of individuals. His body bears the scars of this violence: bite marks and skin disease have disfigured him a little more every day, until One Voice lodged a complaint and he was finally treated. But he’s not out of danger.

Behind the show, the music and the spectacle, lies great suffering. The pain of having been torn away from his mother and his group, the pain of being alone, the fear of attacks and the pain of wounds, the pain of captivity that condemns him to continuous beatings and to endlessly circling in pools, far from the ocean and its riches. Biologist Ingrid Visser, a world expert on cetaceans, is adamant: she has never seen a dolphin in such a state. Galéo’s life is in danger. Galéo’s frozen smile conceals a life of misery and pain. Galéo cannot defend himself against the humans who have enslaved him.

“We, the undersigned, call for the urgent transfer of Galeo to a facility where he won’t be continually attacked, while we wait for an inlet to be opened up to house him on a long-term basis. It’s time for the French government to act progressively, instead of thinking about facilitating the breeding of dolphins in France! The French government must assume its responsibilities. It must put in place appropriate solutions to ensure the safety of Galéo first, followed by all the other dolphins. Peace for Galéo!
