from Yahoo news, Thu Jun 3, 7:12 PM ET:

"Ric O'Barry, the former trainer of the dolphins on the old television
series 'Flipper,' and now a dolphin rights activist with the French group
OneVoice, frees a sea turtle from a fenced in area that enclosed six
dolphins and six sea turtles being held in what Haiti's recently appointed
government determined was an inhumane cage which is too small and too
shallow in the Les Arcadins keys of Haiti's coast on June 3, 2004. An
anonymous Haitian-Spanish partnership received permission to capture
dolphins from the Jean-Bertrand Aristide government three weeks before it
fell from power last February. OneVoice lobbied Secretary of State
Yves-Andre Wainwright and successfully convinced him and the Haitian cabinet
to order the dolphins and sea turtles be freed. REUTERS/Daniel Morel "

Who knows more about this enslavment of dolphins case link with former
Haitian government?
All I know is that Arcadins Islands is supposed to be a protected area...
If above quoted caption is right, it seems the only action Aristide took in
order to protect the area from degradation is to have metalic fences
cemented in the coral reef and dolphins and tortoises caged there... Not
precisely efficient...
