Cuba Airlifts 6 Dolphins To Safety As Hurricane Irma Slams The Island Activism · Animals · Breaking News · News · Positive News · Wild Life By Amanda Froelich Posted on September 10, 2017

Activists worked fast to transport six dolphins in Hurricane Irmas path to safety.

Before Hurricane Irma could unleash its fury on Cuba, activists banded together to evacuate six dolphins from the Dolphinarium in Cayo Guillermo, a small island north of Cubas mainland.

The British newspaper Mirror reports that the mammals were wrapped in wet towels to ensure safety, then were put in helicopters traveling to the southern province of Cienfuegos.

The southern part of Cuba is thought to be a safer spot from Irma's spot, which is why the dolphins were quickly moved there.

Upon arriving, they were transferred to a swimming pool, reports the newspaper.

Gonzalo Carrero Escobar, the Dolphinarium manager, told the press that the pool offered dolphins "similar conditions to their natural life." While a swimming pool will never compete with what the wild has to offer, the important thing is that the dolphins are secure.

If weather conditions become unsafe in the pool, the mammals will be transported to a saltwater swimming pool at a nearby hotel.

Hurricane Irma, which downgraded to a Category 4 then surged back into a Category 5 storm, has left destruction and heartache in its wake.

As of Friday night, at least 20 people were confirmed dead, according to the New York Times.

Florida officials are still urging people to evacuate, as the storm's path has shifted to the western coast of the state.

By now, most civilians in Florida are bunkering down and waiting for the hurricane to pass.

We can only hope that the majority of people and animals have found adequate shelter.

In the Caribbean, Irma reportedly destroyed 90 percent of the island Barbuda.

It also caused extensive damage in St.

John, St. Barths, and created power loss for thousands in Puerto Rico.

While there is presently more negative than positive news to report — specifically to do with unruly weather patterns, at least activists can celebrate the rescue of six lucky dolphins.

Horror as Russian model, 14, works herself to DEATH during three-month assignment in China

A 14-year-old Russian model collapsed after working herself to death during a three-month assignment in China.

Vlada Dzyuba was found to be suffering from utter exhaustion and chronic meningitis following a gruelling 13-hour Asian fashion show in Shanghai.

The teen collapsed and fell into a coma moments before she was due to step out for the latest of many appearances on the catwalk.

Sadly she never regained consciousness, dying two days later, according to reports.

It is now claimed the youngster was on a slave labour contract without medical insurance and had been too scared to seek hospital treatment.

Officially she was permitted to work only three hours a week and was required to have medical insurance.

Her tragic case has raised concerns over the punishing conditions for young models desperate to make it to the big time, and the way they can be harshly exploited.

A rising flow of young Russian models are recruited to China.

Moscow is to demand explanations over the conditions in which Miss Dzyuba was kept in Shanghai, after she was recruited on a contract which involved her missing school in her home city Perm, in the Urals.

She had been prominent at this months prestigious Shanghai Fashion Week.

The girls temperature soared as she was about the go on the catwalk, it has emerged.

Minutes later she collapsed and was unconscious, reported The Siberian Times.

An ambulance was called but she died on Friday after two days in a coma.

The preliminary cause of death is meningitis compounded by severe exhaustion.

Her distraught mother Oksana wept: She was calling me, saying Mama, I am so tired.

I so much want to sleep.

It must have been the very beginning of the illness.

And then her temperature shot up.

I didnt sleep myself and was calling her constantly, begging her to go to hospital.

Miss Dzyubas mother - who also has a young baby - bought a visa to be with her daughter but could not get it before she died.

The teen had been recruited by a prominent Chinese modelling agency, it is understood.

The head of the Perm modelling agency behind her trip, Elvira Zaitseva, said: No-one expected it to lead to such consequences.

We are now reaping what we have sown.

She admitted not personally checking the girls contract and medical insurance.

Miss Dzyubas Russian manager Dmitry Smirnov, who negotiated her Chinese assignment, has not commented on her death.

The Kremlins human rights ombudsman in Perm, Pavel Mikov, said he was personally investigating the girls death.
