  • A big issue with the dolphins is that you can’t just release them. I agree that they should be phased out but dolphins can still more or less be kept happy and stimulated if done well. (still not the same as in the wild but well we also keep dogs on a leash to keep us company)

    There’s also an educational part about it. Because of these dolphin shows and movies with them they are perceived as cute, smart and happy so hunting them is frowned upon. If people had never seen a dolphin in real life or in a movie they would just be big fish to people and they would still be massively hunted.

    What saddens me even more are the killer whales kept in captivity. There have been cases where they just killed themselves out of boredom/depression/… They also routinely hurt each other and there’s not a single tank in the world that can keep them in an animal friendly way.
