A Quezon City court stopped yesterday the Department of Agriculture and Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) from issuing a permit to re-export to Singapore 25 dolphins in Ocean Adventure Park in Subic. Quezon City Regional Trial Court 1st Vice Executive Judge Bernelito Fernandez granted a petition of animal welfare groups and issued a 72-hour "temporary environment protection order" preventing the re-export of the dolphins. The respondents in the case are Agriculture Secretary Proceso Alcala, BFAR Director Asis Perez, and Resorts World Singapore (RWS).
