Bao Xishun is a herdsman from Inner Mongolia and at 2.361 metres (7ft 8.95in) is currently the worlds tallest living man. He has no known growth disorders and was of a normal height untill the age of 16 when he experienced a growth spurt, only reaching his full height 7 years later. He is a normal person, growing naturally! Bao suffers from rheumatism although this may be due to his childhood habit of sleeping outdoors.
In December of 2006 he was called to the aquarium in Fushun, Liaoning Province by veterinarians who were battling to remove some plastic shards from the stomachs of two bottlesnose dolphins who lived there. They had swallowed some of the plastic which was used around the edge of their pool and got it lodged in their stomachs. This had caused the dolphins to lose their appetites and they were suffering depression. The veterinarians were unable to remove the plastic using their instruments as the dolphins stomachs had contracted in response. Bao went to Royal Jidi Ocean World and was able to use his arm to reach into the dolphins mouths and pull out the plastic shards!
Both dolphins are in very good condition now.

Here's a video of what happens to dolphins every year.
Watch it only if you feel you can handle, or really need to know, the extent of the suffering that dolphins are being put through by us every year (a lot!) - and then sign the PETITION.
