"Slacker
, you are a slacker", "Touch the f'ing ball", "I'll throw
the bucket on your head", "Are you stupid or are you pretending to
be?".
This has
been the training procedure at Marineland Mallorca. The abuse is not only
verbal, but also physical with punching, kicking or jumping on the dolphins.
This is
released publicly for the first time here with gratitude to those on the
front-lines taking all the risks to obtain this video. This is a Taiji Dolphin
Action Group coordinated project with deep appreciation to an international
team.
This is a
better quality video than previously released, now with matching audio.
We appeal
to José Luis Barbero and all trainers to work together to end Marine Mammal
captivity
Dolphin trainer disappears.

José Luis
Barbero, the Spanish dolphin trainer accused of mistreating animals in his
care, has disappeared, according to the Spanish language news site Ultima Hora
Sucesos.
Barbero,
59, was chosen to become a new senior vice president at the Georgia Aquarium
until a video surfaced last month allegedly showing him shouting at and
striking dolphins at the Marineland Mallorca.
The Spanish
news site said emergency services on the island of Mallorca initiated a search
for Barbero on Wednesday. It reported he hadn’t been seen since first thing
Tuesday morning, leaving his house in the El Toro neighborhood of Calvia, a
city in Mallorca.
Members of
the civil guard were searching for Barbero using land, sea and air units,
according to Ultima Hora Sucesos.
The Georgia
Aquarium has suspended the hiring of Barbero as it conducts an investigation
into the alleged abuse, citing a second video purporting to show similar
mistreatment by Barbero. Georgia Aquarium CEO Mike Leven said the aquarium has
hired a former FBI agent to travel to Spain to assist in the investigation into
Barbero’s activities, and is conducting separate forensic analyses of the
videotapes.

Barbero, the dolphin trainer under investigation for alleged animal abuse, has
disappeared, according to a Spanish news site.

Animal
rights activists have called for
Barbero’s dismissal.
Yet
aquarium officials seemed worried about Barbero’s disappearance.
“We are
very concerned,” said Leven. “We hope he turns up soon and that everything is
all right. Our thoughts are with him and his family.”
