In Russia, there have been no cases of the birth of beluga whales in captivity. Abroad as such cases are rare. However, not all the cubs survive.

All belugas, which are operated in the Russian dolphinarium was caught (not saved from the networks that are not picked up on the shore) in the Far East. Catch young healthy animals, which are in fact children and strongly attached to their mothers. At catching on average, half of the animals die, entangled in or having experienced a lot of stress.

The report for 2013 shows the following figures:

- Were issued quota for 245 beluga whales in the "educational, cultural and educational purposes" (for dolphinariums);
- 81 beluga caught and sent to a place of detention;
- 34 killed in catching (approximately);
- 7 died in the temporary detention;
- 3 released because of the risk of death.

For more information about the catch is told in "Moskovsky Komsomolets" www.kp.ru/daily/26421/3294482/

Survivors beluga gets on base adaptation. For a good-looking name hides close cages, each with about 10 animals are going to become the new victims of the Dolphinarium.

Next belugas that were not lost on the basis of the adaptation of the dolphinarium Found conveyed over Russia by train or truck. For animals that naturally never enter the confined space, being in the shipping container is the strongest stress. Before we get to the dolphin, beluga spend on the road for at least a week. Not without incident.Transportation of beluga whales in Russia: cheaper truck

Survivors transport beluga condemned to life imprisonment in a confined space. They are forced to give up the main method of spatial orientation - echolocation. It involves the use of open space, both in the seas and oceans. In the context of the pool, the dolphin sent the signal is repeatedly reflected on the smooth walls, returned to the animal with an enlarged many times by force, literally driving him crazy and disorienting space. For the decontamination of water in the pool is required to add chlorine, which corrodes the beluga eye and skin damage. These social animals that need to communicate with a large number of their relatives, mostly kept alone or together. They have all of his short life to perform the same humiliating stunts, just do not stay hungry.

When these belugas become unsuitable for performances, to be replaced by a new catch to repeat the fate of his predecessors.

All the suffering they are experiencing, because people want to have fun and share in social networks funny photos with the hashtag # lyublyudelfinov on which they are stroked and kissed belugas.

Decide whether you are suffering a moment's entertainment smart and freedom-loving neighbors on the planet.
