Need to save Sea Lions from Dolphin City (Chennai) before its too late . . .
Dolphin City, Chennai (India) imported three bottle-nosed dolphins from Bulgaria and eight sea lions from California, in short span of three months, all three dolphins and five of the sea lions died.
This facility confines three sea lions to captivity. Sea lions are highly intelligent and wonderful creatures, but at Dolphin city, they are reduced to little more than clowns, living in a poor environment and forced to put on a show which serves no educational or conservation purpose. To make them do stupid tricks, the sea lions are deprived of food at all times except during the shows. This cruel ‘carrot-and-stick’ method ensures that the animals perform absurd and unnatural antics obediently, in order to be fed dead fish during the act. This is clearly exploitation of an animal’s basic needs for selfish purposes.
Animal-protection groups are encouraging Dolphin City to retire the sea lions to a sanctuary or release them into their native habitats.
