A life in captivity is no life at all for intelligent, social dolphins. They often look like they are smiling, but this is just the shape of their face.
This couldn’t be further from the truth. Captive dolphins are:
- separated from their mothers far too young
- confined in tanks hundreds of thousands of times smaller than their natural home
- deprived of food so they can be trained
An industry based on lies
The multibillion-dollar captive dolphin industry wants you to think dolphins enjoy their confinement. They rely on a quirk of nature – the shape of a dolphins’ face – and years of misinformation.
Captive dolphins are living miserable lives in the name of profit.
Dolphinariums and other venues only exist because they are profitable.
Every ticket sold prolongs a dolphin's miserable existence.
While many travel companies have joined our movement, Expedia Group is still selling tickets to these brutal venues and profiting from this cruel multibillion-dollar industry.
Sign our petition asking Expedia Group to stop selling or promoting any dolphin shows or experiences.
