10,000 Dolphins For Brussels!

Origami whalesWhales and dolphins belong in the seas and oceans with their families and friends!

With your help we’re hoping to see an end to all dolphin captivity in Europe.

This autumn we are aiming to present the European politians in Brussels with thousands of origami whales and dolphins made by children who want dolphins to be wild and free!

PLEASE ADD YOUR WHALE OR DOLPHIN TO THOUSANDS OF OTHERS.

It’s so simple:

1) Download the simple instructions
2) Find a sheet of square paper
3) Start folding!
4) Write your captivity message on your whale or dolphin (for example “NO DOLPHIN CAPTIVITY” or “KEEP DOLPHINS WILD”) plus your name, age and city

5) Put all your whales put in an envelope and send them to:

WDCS ORIGAMI
BROOKFIELD HOUSE
38 ST PAUL STREET
CHIPPENHAM
SN15 1LJ

And why not ask your friends to do the same?
