I see Duppy continue to frighten. For the last two weeks I have been reading the little impromptus and Facebook comments in regards to Flipper. In the mean time between time doing my own research exploring the Gleaner Archives and other publications in states and countries where the animals are housed for extent period of time, least to say all reports were not negative like some would presume with their weekly impromptus . It all depends on which company is housing this exhibit and what mandates are instill by the local government as it pertains to the care of the animals and ecosystem ( not rocket science) some government has very strick mandates that must be adhere to for the housing of marine animals and the eco system and most companies has to follow this. In Retrospect to Fantasy island, if this exhibit was proposed for the South would the out cry be same ?? Oh hell no !! The silence from the “stake holders” (The Brady Bunch) would be deafening. Of course no one would be cutting into their “profit margins” and the lured of tourist for the daily ocean adventures up North and this is what it all comes down to $$. They get their friends with media house to war their impromptus at the public along with stats from certain travel online publication that still bolster daily reviews of other dolphin exhibits in the Caribbean mix it all up and wholla Duppy know who fi frighten.

First Fedee was contented to show St Lucians Kweole was not as important as they think it is. It is not needed abroad where important meetings are held. That’s not enough! He and his mates – the UWP clowns – are after other aspects of cultural heritage namely protected species found on the Island. The investors he hopes to allow to destroy the unique, special and fragile ecosystems while lining their pockets will be here now but will be gone tomorrow. St Lucia and St Lucians will have gained nothing. Its natural beauty and wild life will be damaged for ever. Why should we trade something which can never be replaced for something we will never own?

The debate has been dominated by anything but “political witchery”. The majority, who have NOTHING to gain personally by taking a stand, are against this ridiculous proposal because of the damage it will cause to our National Landmark, our image, our future as an ecotourism destination, and the lives of the dolphins. For the other side, it’s about nothing but money.
