Hello,

Hotel room at a Singapore resort: $253.

Discounted tickets to watch wild dolphins suffer in captivity: Priceless.

Mastercard is offering discounted tickets to the infamoous Resorts World
Sentosa, a resort in Singapore that recently kidnapped 27 wild dolphins for
an exhibit. Two of those dolphins have already died, and the 25 other
dolphins are being held in brutal conditions until construction of the
exhibit is complete. The surviving dolphins' risks of illness and death
increase with each day of captivity.

100,000 Change.org members have already called on Resorts World Sentosa to
release its captive dolphins. If Mastercard cancels its ticket discount
promotion, it will put big financial pressure on the resort to finally set
the dolphins free.

Please sign dolphin activist Barbara Napoles's petition on Change.org
calling for Mastercard to stop offering discounted tickets to Resorts World
Sentosa.

Statistics for captive dolphins are bleak. While dolphins in the wild
usually live for 45 years, more than half of all captured dolphins die
within their first two years of captivity. 

In tanks, dolphins swim around in circles. They can't hunt. They're exposed
to bacteria that have been known to cause blindness and death. 

Resorts World Sentosa has canceled ocean animal exhibits from public
pressure in the past. With 100,000 Change.org members already calling for
the resort to free its captive dolphins, financial pressure from Mastercard
could push the resort to finally take action.

Please sign the petition to ask Mastercard to cancel its ticket promotion
to Resorts World Sentosa:
