Dolphins and Whales have evolved over millions of years and have adapted perfectly to life in the oceans of the world. They are intelligent, social and self-aware, exhibiting evidence of a highly developed emotional sense.
The capture of dolphins is traumatic and stressful and can result in their injury and even death. The number of dolphins that die during capture operations or shortly thereafter are never revealed in dolphinariums or Swim-with-the-Dolphins attractions. No permits have been approved since 1993 to capture dolphins in US waters for public display. Let's make it law.
We the undersigned call for a permanent law banning Capture in US waters of Dolphins & Whales for Public Display.
