Look

Ladies and gentleman, please take a seat. Take a look at the news and outside, and see how negativity is engulfing our world. Everyday, it’s something new. Another racist being let off the hook, an innocent minority being murdered in cold blood and another potential start to World War 3. Racial tensions in our country are worse than they have ever been, and they are only getting worse due to the elected official who is now in office. He is bringing the absolute worst out of people and I do not see us turning around until he is OUT of office. We as American people need to stand together and let our government know we will not stand for this type of bigotry, ignorance and sexism to allow everything that has been done so far for this country. We have to continue to move FORWARD, not backwards. The power is in our hands, talk to your local government officials.

You know it’s bad when celebrities are providing Puerto Rico with aid faster than the president. Just because they’re on an island does not mean they aren’t citizens.

Dolphins In The Desert

SCOTTSDALE - Arizonians no longer have to travel to Rocky Point or SeaWorld San Diego to swim with dolphins. Bottlenose Dolphins have now made there way here to the valley of the sun and splash landed at Dolphinaris, an interactive dolphin exhibit complete with a restaurant & bar and a safety orientation.

The complex is located off the 101 at the new wildlife complex which also houses Butterfly World, The Odysea Aquarium and a strip mall complete with numerous restaurants.

Miguel Freitas, head dolphin trainer of Dolphinaris Arizona, said that he “felt like” he had to take the opportunity to come to Arizona from Dolphinaris Mexico to teach people from the state about these animals that they are not accustomed to  in everyday life.

There are numerous experiences to chose from, even a dry land experience for guests who want to interact with a dolphin but do not wan to get their feet wet.

Dolphinaris Arizona is open Monday - Sunday from 10am to 4pm. The Dolphinaris Foundation states that they are there to educate the public about these marine mammals, not exploit them.

Honeybee Decline Threat
