The Namibian Government has not yet decided whether they will allow a notorious Russian ship to capture hundreds of marine animals and send them to China, a place where, sadly, the captivity industry is booming.
Local activists and international organizations have been working tirelessly to stop this proposal in its tracks. A petition to the government has jumped to over 10,000 signers, and IMMP, along with other organizations have sent letters to the government.
On October 14, local activists staged a protest of around 150 people and delivered petition signatures to authorities (video below).
