Before Honey died, the only company she had for the last two years was 46 penguins, fish and reptiles after the facility closed in January 2018 due to a lack of visitors.
RYAN GENERAL: Animal protection group the Dolphin Project has confirmed the death of the “world’s loneliest dolphin.” Named Honey, the female bottlenose dolphin was reportedly found to have died alone on March 29 at an abandoned Japanese aquarium just as rescue attempts were being made on its behalf. Honey, who was captured near Taiji in 2005, first made global headlines in 2018 after it was revealed that she had been abandoned at the Marine Park Aquarium in Choshi… Dolphin Project made many attempts to find a new home for Honey and the other animals left in the park… In February, Dolphin Rescue tried to buy Honey again so she could retire “in peace and dignity”…
Before she died, the only company she had for the last two years was 46 penguins as well as fish and reptiles after the facility closed in January 2018 due to a lack of visitors. Despite being closed, employees of the marine park were at least feeding the animals, according to reports. It was not made clear, however, how the food was sourced and how much was provided. Images that emerged back in March 2018 showed the dolphin languishing in a tiny pool by itself. Distressed-looking penguins can also be seen in another photo in piles of loose concrete. SOURCE…
