For the Now Excinct Baiji Dolphin

O noble graceful River God.
Your time among selfish mortals shant be in vain.
Your memory will live on in my mind and heart always.
Rise now, to the heavens-
and the infanite Skies become your new Sea


I'll miss you.

After a 2006 expedition, they failed to find these dolphins after six weeks, so they are now declared extinct. Why should such a graceful creature meet its demise? T.T

breaks my heart...

Watch the documentary called The Cove. It's about the assassination of dolphins in Taiji, Japan. 23000 dolphins are killed each year and sold as whale meat, but dolphin meat has highly dangerous levels of mercury. Yet the International Whaling Commission refuses to do anything about it. -Shrugs- Sorry to preach, just a really touching picture.

I couldn't believe it when I found out they have now been declared extinct.

Let's hope we can learn from this that our wildlife needs more protection.

Beautiful piece and and important message!

I litterally cried when I heard the news.

Beautiful image, I could think of nothing better for a tribute to the creatures lost.
