Award-winning Dolphin Activist Ric O'Barry calls Dr. Marissa from Taiji Japan and first time Radio for our Deaf world-wide

Summary: In a moving intimate interview, Ric shares the story of how he first had his heart set on working with dolphins, becoming the trainer on the movie Flipper, and the turning point when Cathy the lead dolphin committed suicide in his arms. Dr. Marissa recognizes Ric with her Beneficial Presence on the Planet Award, and validates his work as proof that one person can shed Light on the Dark pockets in our world and Make a Difference. Calling from the actual Cove upon which the Academy Award winning documentary was based, he continues his work trying to end the capture and slaughter of dolphins. Ric shares a Christmas love message to his wife and chinese daughter which Dr. Marissa translates to Mandarin. Supporting the Earth Island Institute, the Dolphin Project and not buying into anymore theme parks that keep the supply and demand cycle going are ways in which each one of us can join Ric in making a difference. And the beautiful Sharon Pierre-Louis shares Ric's message of hope using American Sign Language to include our Deaf community worldwide in a ground-breaking first radio episode of it's kind. Let's all end this barbaric practice of capturing and taking the freedom of these glorious creatures that share our Planet and give us so much joy.
