Urge Resorts to End Cruel ‘Swim With Dolphins’ Encounters
Three resorts in Florida and Hawaii have partnered with the abusive companies Dolphin Connection and Dolphin Quest to offer “swim with dolphins” experiences in tiny lagoons on their properties.
Some dolphins used for these encounters were violently torn away from their families in the wild, whereas others were bred in captivity and have never experienced the joy of swimming in the open ocean. It’s cruel to imprison them in small lagoons where they can’t swim free with their families or escape attacks from other frustrated animals and to make them perform tricks for the purpose of entertaining humans.
These highly intelligent animals don’t want to be forced to interact with tourists or give them piggyback rides around the small enclosures they’re confined to.
Tell Hawks Cay Resort, The Kahala Hotel & Resort, and Hilton Waikoloa Village to end their cruel “swim with dolphins” encounters and not to permit the breeding or acquisition of more animals on their premises.
