Killer Whale Tales is a environmental education program dedicated to promoting the understanding and active stewardship of the Puget Sound killer whales and their habitat by students through experiental science activities and storytelling. By using a uniques approach - bringing the field directly to the classroom - the program fosters informed decision making as students explore their relationship and responsibility to the world and the whales around them.
For some twenty five years members of the BlueVoice team have worked both to end the killing of dolphins and whales and to explore the universe of dolphins in the open sea. We oppose keeping dolphins in captivity as we would oppose capturing human beings for display in circus-like shows. Ample evidence now exists to show that dolphins are highly intelligent, social and sentient animals with brains and minds of equal magnitude to those of humans.
