Did you know...
Most
dolphin facilties exist because
humans choose
to swim with them in captivity or see a show. In other words,
most dolphins are in
captivity
because of humans. Have you ever swam with dolphins or are
considering a swim ? Read on...
The United
States no
longer
allows wild capture of dolphins, therefore, breeding programs in
captivity
have developed and are allowed. This prepetuates dolphin
captivity and in-breeding. Also, dolphins born in captivity no
longer have natural instincts to hunt and feed so they are dependent
and could not be
released without help. (Captive dolphins typically do not know
what a
fish is and are fed frozen, dead fish from trainers to control their
behaviour.)
I believe only one exception should be made to allow dolphins in captivity, that is dolphins retired from human service (theme parks, military, etc.). These dolphins deserve retirement and peace. I believe dophins can be retrained to take excursions back into their homeland, the ocean, even if they've been human bred since birth. .I believe some dolphins could even be gently released this way. Please contact us if you know of such a program. What can you do... choose wisely when considering a visit or contribution to a captive dolphin / whale facility. Hold onto your ego and spend a day appreciating them with your mind and heart, sending them Universal love. You may be surprised how you feel after giving of yourself for a day. |
