Hi
I read this story in The Metro in Dublin & was so touched by it I was unable to part with the paper. I have now cut out the story to keep. I am a Reiki healer & so are many of my friends, I will ask them to send Mary G healing. It's so sad we live in a world where human life is so dispensable. I have been thinking of Mary G & praying for her. Perhaps we should all join together across the world & pray for her. In the past I have always had an answer to my prayers & most recently when I prayed for my nephew who has a very serious heart problem. His condition improved with prayers from those I know.

Poor baby!!!
Has anyone been able to help you at all in this matter?. Has Mary G started to eat again?
I was just watching a story about a dolphin baby lost from it's mother in Texas. It was attacked by a shark and not expected to live. But with LOT'S of help, like the love and care this beautiful poor woman gave to Mary G, the baby lived and is now grown.
I wish I could be of some help.

Hi, i wrote before, and would like to know if anyone has an update on Mary. Thank you!!!!

Amyel, Granada, Spain

Does anyone have a child with marine mammal experience that could possibly interact with Mary G. under supervision? Perhaps the lightheartedness of a child could bring some happiness to this poor lost soul. Is Mary G. showing any interest in Pele? What is Pele's demeanor towards Mary G?

Its really sad but its also true. My opinion and experience from my life is that people and animals with broken heart need someone with big heart and with just a little pity for others and someone who can listen, like me.

As a people and animal lover and advocate I send my condolences to you, all of Tamara Monti's family and friends (including her beautiful animal kingdom).

If Mary G were mine to look after I would try: wearing clothing, cologne, anything really of Miss Monti's as already suggested. I would also wallow with her Basset Hound and AKA Mongrel, then approach Mary G. Even perhaps take her canines around Mary G.

I would speak to Mary G. as if she were the child of Miss Monti's. Telling her whatever you deem Miss Monti would say. Literally speak it to her..

If there is still too much grieving to overcome, contact a local Jin Shin Jyutsu Practitioner to help. JSJ is a beautiful healing therapy for humans and animal alike.

My prayers are with you all.

What an incredible story!!!! AND DOLPHINS CAN SMELL!!!! They are all great ideas, children, clothes, but above all, all the affection in the world and sweet words so that she know we all love her. And, hopefully, someday soon, scientists will believe animals have more feelings than they are willing to admit. After all, if the admit to this, what becomes of them? No more cruel research on animals?

Amyel, Granada, Spain

Make shure you look after them.How are you doing now?

CATHARINE DE MORGAN, london,

This story breaks my heart. I hope Mary G makes it. Its so sad to think of what this world is comming to.

Sarah, Tampa, FL

dolphins cant smell

poor thing :(

Margarita, Florida,

This story is enough to break anybody's heart. I wonder if the aquarium could try what farmers do when lambs lose their mothers - have one of the other keepers wear Tamara's wet suit - or maybe try wearing some of her clothes, or perfume so Mary G could smell her?

How sweet and what a sad and touching story.. just wish there was something i could do to help

Rebecca, UK, UK

its really toching

jenny, brighton,

Having experienced grief myself, I would advise her trainers to give Mary G a dose of 30c homeopathic Ignatia.
It won't do her any harm and may well help her to deal with her grief.

Margaret Morton, Workington, United Kingdom

It just shows that love is blind and very beatuitful

Barbie, Ca, us

I wish I could write to the aquarium or to Leandro Stanzani directly. Hope they would read this posting. I would suggest to have Mary G exposed regularly to young children, maybe even have children swimming and playing within a controlled envoironment, of course, to make sure the children will be able to do so in safe condition. I believe Mary G will feel that so many people care about her and will definitely understand that is important to continue her life in the way that Monti wants.

That's very sad to hear. Just shows you dolphins are more intelligent that most people give them credit for.

R. Dows, louth, uk

Try putting a baby Dolphin in with her - this might just give her life a spark; perhaps appeal to her innate maternal instincts.

A very tragic story

A> T . Martin, Warsaw, Warsaw

A tragedy of course, but also a reminder to us all that the highest virtues of love and affection are not something over which humanity has dominion. The capacity for tenderness and concern for others is a trait which is inherent in animals. Nothing could be more reprehensible than the way we humans selfishly torture, slaughter and exploit animals, as if they don't have feelings and do not suffer the nightmarish depths of physical pain. Perhaps when we observe the heartfulness of other creatures, such as is obvious in the case of this heartbroken dolphin, we might reconsider our thoughtless savage brutality against all animals.
