AR-News: (SG) AVA admits 4 Underwater World dolphins are wild

[Animalconcerns]

SINGAPORE : Not all the six dolphins at Singapore's Underwater World were
bred in captivity as stated on the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority
(AVA) permits.

The AVA, which regulates the import of wildlife, said there was a clerical
error.

The government agency said the Underwater World had informed it that "a
number of the dolphins" were bred in captivity (in Oasis Sea World in
Thailand) when they applied for the permits, but AVA wrongly stated that
all the six dolphins were captive bred.

In fact, only two were bred in captivity.
