Hi 👋,
SeaWorld are now infamous for animal cruelty. However, Discovery Cove in Orlando, Florida, are bad, too. They have at least one wild-caught dolphin and are owned by SeaWorld. These dolphins are forced to live in tanks much, much smaller than the space they would get in the wild... If this is right and up-to-date, the dolphins do not receive appropriate veterinary attention, and calves are sometimes stillborn...
Those dolphins did not ask to be kept in captivity and forced to swim with humans. It is exploitation. It is cruelty. IT IS WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!
It bothers me to think of people touching and kissing dolphins. The dolphins are held in the tanks against their will and are forced to be kissed and touched by humans. Dolphins in the wild aren't forced to be kissed or touched by humans. It's cruel.
