                        Belgium Has Banned Cruel Dolphin Captivity, While the United States, China, and Japan Still Imprison Hundreds of These Intelligent Creatures

                        Dolphins are highly intelligent, social, and playful animals. They love to travel long distances at top speeds — sometimes close to 20 miles per hour! They travel in pods, love to talk to each other, and are known to play with things they find in the sea — from seaweed to other marine animals. The life of a dolphin in the wild is one of joy and adventure.



                        But in captivity, dolphins' natural behaviors and the joy that comes with them are lost. 



                        Dolphins in dolphinariums are confined to small enclosures and isolation, distressing them to the point of worrisome and even harmful behaviors. Captive dolphins swim in circles endlessly, exhibit depression and aggression, and have even been known to self-harm by ramming their heads into walls, chewing on metal and concrete, and so on. Tragically, all of this culminates in dolphins dying younger in captivity than they would in the wild.



                        Thankfully, Belgium has taken these concerns for captive dolphins seriously and has become the seventh country to ban dolphinariums!



                        But many countries, including the United States, China, and Japan, still keep hundreds of dolphins in captivity, dooming them to lives of misery. These countries must follow Belgium's lead and end the practice of imprisoning dolphins for entertainment for good!



                        Sign the petition to demand that the United States, China, and Japan ban dolphinariums!

                        P.S. Dolphins suffer immensely in captivity, so Belgium banned the practice altogether. We must urge the United States, China, and Japan to do the same.
