Dolphins, much like other whales, are acoustic creatures.This means that
they use sound as their primary sense.
They can see right through things with hearing. They can tell if we're pregnant, they can hear our heart beat,
and they can use sound waves when water is murky to go through w/o seeing. They also communicate by sound. Each
pod has their own distinctive calls, much like a dialect.

If you put a cetacean in a concrete tank, filled with screaming people, it causes
immense stress on them.
In fact, in ALL of the marine parks that has dolphins, the center of it is the fish-house. If you go there, you will

see people putting pills inside the fish, because the dolphins get ulcers from too much stress.

At the aquarium in Baltimore, when it first opened,dolphins were dying left to right. The trainers finally
figured
out that the filter was creating too much noise.

Now, the recent incident in Orlando is a perfect example of why captivity
doesn't work. The screaming people most
likely caused stress on the Orca, and made it react in an abnormal way. SeaWorld is blaming the
trainer when it really
wasn't. It is THEIR fault for capturing the Orca and placing it in a concrete tank, and forcing it to perform daily
in a stadium filled with screaming people.

Another incident occurred earlier in the same park.
It was in the bottlenose dolphin show. The dolphins were jumping, and they collided into each other,
killing, and
severely injuring each other. This is caused by confined space, and loss of echolocation. Over time, dolphins, when
enclosed in these areas, lose their sense of echolocation because they do not
need it.

Not only this, but also it supports the largest slaughter of dolphins on the planet

To whom it may  concern,
     We, the undersigned believe that you should stop capturing whales and dolphins.

In addition, some of the orcas in SeaWorld were actually taken FROM the wild in Taiji, Japan where thousands of dolphins are slaughtered each year. This captivity supports this slaughter.
