Now Sea World on the Gold Coast is the only dolphin park in Australia to continue keeping dolphins in captivity.This wouldn't have been possible without thousands of warm-hearted supporters being a voice for dolphins protection over many years.
In August last year,Ben Pearson,our head of campaigns in Australia and New Zealand,appeared before the NSW upper house inquiry into the use wild animals for entertainment to put forward our case for ban on captive Dolphin breeding in the state. "If a dolphin were bred today,it may still be alive in 2070.This regulation frees future dolphins from being kept in lockdown at a time when the public acceptability of keeping dolphins in captivity for entertainment is declining.As the tide turns against using marine mammals in captivity for entertainment,conversation about what will happen to the dolphins at Sea World needs to start now.First step is a ban on further breeding," Ben Pearson said.
Major travel brands including Tripadvisor and Booking.com have already committed to stop selling tickets to dolphin shows and encounters.As well as these great changes for dolphins from the travel industry,Canada recently passed a ban on keeping dolphins and whales for entertainment.This is part of a global movement towards better treatment of these wild animals,which includes the nations of Brazil,Bolivia,Chile,Costa Rica,India,Luxembourg,Norway,Switzerland,and the UK.
Dolphins are magnificent,intelligent animals.They belong in the wild and should not be bred in captivity for entertainment.In their natural environment,dolphins swim freely in 100 square kilometres of ocean,sometimes more,but the average dolphin in captivity has a fraction of that space.Together,we can make this the last generation of dolphins in captivity.
