A Singapore casino developer said Saturday it was considering alternatives to its plan to exhibit whale sharks, the world's largest fish, which had run into strong opposition from animal welfare groups.
"We have started to explore plans for an alternative to a whale shark
exhibit," Krist Boo, the spokeswoman for Resorts World at Sentosa, told
AFP...
Resorts World at Sentosa, one of two casino resorts being built in
Singapore, had planned to import the whale sharks for its Marine Life
Park (MLP) which is set to become the world's biggest oceanarium upon
completion.
