(From solomontimes.com)- On Tuesday, August 19th, at about 8:30 pm, City Councilor, Lawrence Makili, was abducted from his home in Honiara, Solomon Islands, by eight men in two cars. He was then driven a few kilometers out of town when the thugs beat him and tried to kill him. “There are currently five different dolphin capture teams operating in the Solomon Islands. “Anyone of them could be responsible for this,” stated Richard O”Barry, Director of Save Japan Dolphins Coalition. Mark Berman of Earth Island Institute said, “Lawrence Makili was a victim of attempted murder, simply for trying to help his country and their wild dolphin population.”
