Marine Mammal Bills
From ANIMAL PEOPLE, April 1993:
WASHINGTON D.C. ––
Rep. Michael Bilirakis (R-Fla.) and 19
co-sponsors have introduced a bill to
restrict dolphin exports, institute an
identification and tracking system,
limit lethal research on marine mam-
mals, and impose a moratorium on cap-
tures pending a review and revision of
care standards. If the bill, H.R. 656,
wins sufficient Congressional support,
language from it may be incorporated
into the Marine Mammal Protection
Act, which is up for renewal this year.
