PLANET - Remus Cernea's bill wants to recognize the developed intellect of the marine mammal ...
Since dolphins share many traits with humans, they must be given the same rights, thinks Remus Cernea. It is in this sense that the Romanian MEP tabled a bill before the Parliament of his country to recognize the dolphin as a "non-human person", because of his developed intelligence, his personality and his type of behavior.
This bill, which will be debated in the coming weeks by the Romanian parliament, would make men and dolphins equal before the law. The violation of rights would expose the perpetrators to “penalties equivalent to those provided for in the penal code for human rights violations”. A law that would also protect the dolphins of the Black Sea from captivity.

Hi Julian
I took a quick look (quick lunch break) but I will go back this evening at more length. First impression, the home page is pleasant and easily “readable”. Maybe plan to extend your site with the same pages in French and place small flags indicating the languages. See you, I'll go back to work! And well done, it's a long and tedious job.
