THAT the Board direct our legal staff to prepare, for our consideration, an improved version of the current parks by-law pertaining to cetaceans so that the new version would close a loophole for the Vancouver Aquarium to acquire cetaceans for display purposes through the misuse of the current by-law which permits capture of wild cetaceans for the purpose of rehabilitation.
