The turtle case

Remember the turtles in captivity we posted about? Please read https://www.westerlakenfoundation.org/post/update-about-the-turtles-in-kedonganan to read our post from 15 May. Today we went back for a check up. And we found... empty basins! All turtles have been released, except for two turtles taken to TCEC on the 15th of May for medical care.

The staff showed documentation with photos of the release and a document signed by several members of the local government. We are convinced the turtles have been released, though confused this happend three days after the visit by BKSDA and BPSPL instigated by us. Neither BKSDA nor BPSPL were inforned about the release. This case shows once more that fighting for animal rights works! We have taken quite the effort and taken quite time to fight for this case and we are happy that with the help of BKSDA and BPSPL we have been able to change the situation!

The Stop Orphanages Campaign is an initiative spearheaded by Westerlaken Foundation and Yayasan Bali Bersih. Its primary objective is to combat the exploitation of children and the use of orphanages as a means of personal gain, and children as a marketing tool. While we acknowledge that there are Child Welfare Institutions (LKSA) in Indonesia that genuinely prioritize the well-being of children, extensive research reveals that a majority of orphanages in Bali, Indonesia operate in violation of the National Standard for Child Welfare Institutions (30/HUK/2011). This standard explicitly prohibits the institutionalization of children based on poverty or limited access to education, as well as emphasizes the importance of empowering families and preventing the recruitment of children into orphanages.
