Maltreatment of marine show animals
- Maltreatment of performing dolphins
Incidence
Marine shows and dolphinaria where dolphins, whales, seals and other marine animals perform for paying customers are becoming an increasingly important industry.
Claim
In addition to the constraints of captivity, the initial training of these animals often involves deprivation and suffering. The idea that dolphins and whales benefit from being in the presence of humans is to be challenged as species-ist and chauvinistic.
