As sharks are your passion maybe you could start a save the shark project? I may even donate to it, if it ever gets of the ground.

I've already got two...

To be honest I could not care less for that dolphin. The amount of man hours and money it takes to get it back to health could definitely be spent wiser. The same goes for that Orca Keiko. Grain them down to cat food and use the funds on something important instead, maybe a save the shark project?

I spent approximately 8,000 US dollars on twin cataract surgery for my dog. Some folks said that it was an exorbitant amount of money and effort for a dog.. The standard opposing line was he's just a dog. Really, who gives these bananas the right to make a judgement as to who, or what qualifies for quality of life options? In my eyes, the operation was more than worth it as the little guy is a cherished member of my family. The pup now has perfect vision and is living life happy and carefree.

This dolphin has a special place in the heart of the community. They are obviously willing to allocate the resources to heal the dolphin. So, grinding him up is not the option they chose. Bravo to them!

F.Y.I. Keiko the Killer Whale died back in 2003 from pneumonia in Norway. Apparently he wasn't a good canidate for release back into the wild. He prefered the company of people to other killer whales. But the price tag for this was 20 million dollars that was donated by public.

But in this case of Nari. It seems to be Sea World of Australia and Tangalooma Island Resort that are footing the bill, so I wouldn't get so bent out of shape on this.

On another note: the ability to advance veterinary science and surgery by treating Nari will benefit all animals: wild or captive.
