Fresh news, 17th of November 2017: (Extracts from the article) "Vietnam’s rejection of dolphin park shows no place for cruelty in entertainment. Authorities heed plea by hundreds of animal charities to prevent dolphins being captured and forced to perform for human entertainment. --- Wild dolphins often suffer physical injuries and mental stress from being captured and separated from family groups. Once removed from their natural environment, they lose the social, visual and auditory stimuli necessary for their well-being. While wild dolphins are capable of swimming up to 100 kilometres a day in the ocean, those in captivity are held in tiny pools where the stress of confinement often leads to increased aggression, illness and premature death. --- “There has been a growing international backlash against keeping whales and dolphins in captivity. Increasing numbers of people in Europe and America have turned their backs on this kind of exploitation but animal performances continue to flourish in Asia. Until the last dolphin is released and the last dolphinarium closed down, we will continue to bang the drum against these horrors.” https://www.animalsasia.org/uk/media/news/news-archive/vietnams-rejection-of-dolphin-park-shows-no-place-for-cruelty-in-entertainment.html#.Wg6WbzYnsAY.facebook --- Attica dolphinarium in Greece and Särkänniemi amusement park in Finland - CARRY YOU RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR DOLPHINS!!! 1.
