Swimming Animals
Swimming with dolphins looks like fun, and may have some other benefits, too. But is it safe for the dolphin? And how about those other swimming animals!
Stop Supporting ‘Illegal and Cruel’ Dolphin Captures and Dolphin Swim Excursions
Besides the cruelty involved, swim-with-dolphins programs can also be dangerous to the public. Because they are ill-suited for captivity, dolphins can become agitated and aggressive from forced interaction with humans. In Japan, dolphins are captured by driving entire pods ashore and slaughtering all but the few who are to be sold to amusement parks. Stop supporting ‘illegal and cruel’ dolphin captures and dolphin swim excursions.
