Dear Mr. Wilson,
I wish to express concern about Bjossa and your plans to sell her to Sea World. Bjossa was captured in Iceland in 1980 and has experienced three unsuccessful pregnancies.
Please consider the proposal to rehabilitate Bjossa back into the wild. The successful rehabilitation of Keiko, proves that it is feasible. Moreover, the captivity of whales and dolphins is archaic and ultimately unprofitable as more people become enlightened about its inherent cruelty. The most successful aquarium in North America is the Monterey Bay Aquarium in California, which only has models and interactive videos of whales and dolphins. Therefore, until you consider giving Bjossa a future in the wild I won't visit Vancouver and will encourage my friends, relatives and colleagues to do the same.
