END SWIM WITH DOLPHIN PROGRAMS

#CaptiveDolphins that perform in swim-with programs are kept intentionally hungry so that they are forced to interact with park visitors. Wild dolphins do not usually swim with people and they certainly do not kiss or tow people around because they do not like to.

Swim-with-dolphin programs pose a huge #risk to the public. There are hundreds of documented cases of #injuries from participants, including reports that humans have been rammed or bitten

END ALL IMPORTS & EXPORTS OF DOLPHINS ACROSS U.S. BORDERS

#CaptiveDolphins and #whales are transported across the world to #aquariums and #MarineParks. These animals are ripped away from their families and all they know, forced to live in barren concrete #tanks. Transportation is a stressful process for these animals. The journey itself poses significant risks. Stress-induced illnesses and health problems are an issue and in the worst cases it can lead to #death.
