Dolphins are highly intelligent animals who want and need to live in complex social groups. In captivity they will usually have been separated from their families, often in cruel drive hunts and some when they are very young.

Wild dolphins can swim up to 100 miles a day, hunting and playing. In captivity they have very little space and cannot behave naturally. A concrete tank can never replace their ocean home.

The mental, emotional and physical stress that a captive dolphin suffers can weaken their immune system and make them prone to disease. .

Wild capture of dolphins is very brutal. Entire pods may be targeted and many animals killed or injured. Only the young and fit are taken and then trained for a miserable life in captivity.

Dolphinariums and Aquariums have no right to put these amazing creatures in captivity. Captive dolphin shows are not education.
