Sometimes, no news is good news - but in the case of Namibia, this may not be the case.
Recently, a proposal surfaced that would allow a Chinese-owned company to plunder Namibia's coastal waters, using a notorious Russian vessel to do the dirty work. The revelation sparked outraged protests and many letters being sent to the government of Namibia in order to prevent this tragedy from happening.
Despite the international attention this issue has received, the government has yet to issue a decision on whether to grant the company's permit or not.
If it is granted, it could result in one of the largest marine animal captures for captivity in recent memory - with up to 100 dolphins, 10 orcas, and many other animals being targeted for lifetimes of misery in aquatic entertainment facilities.
