The dolphins being held in this facility are forced to perform tricks for tourists day in and day out in what is known as the tourist attraction "Swim With Dolphins".
The dolphins will have to pull tourists along with their fins and push them out of the water with their faces. Many of the dolphins held in this facility were originally captured in Mexican and Cuban waters and have been held captive and forced to perform ever since. The dolphins bred in captivity have suffered the ordeal of being separated from their mothers and this natural bond broken.
Statistics show that dolphins die prematurely in captivity and confinement causes stress, anxiety and trauma
Dolphins belong in the wild not in captivity
Thousands of people will be passing through the dolphinarium during the Ironman competition which will expose the animals to prolific levels of noise, activity and stress.
More and more reputable organisations and companies are turning their backs on the exploitation of these intelligent beings.
It’s time Ironman did too.

*There is also a live demo outside the Dolphinarium this Sunday 30th November. Feel free to attend if in the area.
♥ TRIATHLON HATE CAPTIVITY
Dear David Deschenes,
We are very disappointed to hear that Ironman is supporting and helping to promote the captivity and exploitation of dolphins for entertainment by holding your triathlon event this month in a Dolphin Discovery Dolphinarium in Cozumel, Mexico as well as advertising "Swimming with dolphins" on your site.

More and more reputable organisations and companies are turning their backs on the exploitation of these intelligent beings and other cetaceans. Especially in light of recent documentary films such as "The Cove" and "Blackfish" which have raised huge awareness in the public eye.
Please do the right thing and don't put your company name in support of this barbaric and medieval practice.
We would like to hear that Ironman will NOT be supporting dolphin captivity in 2015.
Thank you for your time.
Kind regards.
Kind regards,
Mia Tee
