Thousands of whales and dolphins are deprived of living in harmony in their natural habitat and here it is necessary to emphasize that what is exhibited in zoos and aquariums is nothing more than a reflection of the selfishness of a capitalist society that only thinks for profit satisfy economic interests.

All these animals are caged and deprived of their freedom, conceived as mere trophies and subjected to decades of demanding training to satisfy the demands of a society avid for entertainment.

Values ​​such as respect, empathy, affection and compassion are relegated and seem to not exist due to the scant connection between other living beings, placing us humans in a superior link from which we believe ourselves to be omnipotent and capable of deciding for others.

LET’S NOT FUND ANIMAL PRISONS!

As experts announced, species that spend long years in captivity suffer from physical, psychological and social distress due to confinement. “One hundred percent of captive adult killer whales have disabled dorsal fins. Some parks even give the whales and dolphins tranquilizers to relieve stress.” Danny Groves, from Whale and Dolphin Conservation, told La Razón.

And he also emphasized the harsh living conditions suffered by these creatures.

Returning to his words: “In confinement, whales and dolphins can swim in circles, lie on the tank floor for long periods, bite the sides of the pool, and repeat behavior patterns. Killer whales spend most of their time swimming in circles, which causes their upper dorsal fins to collapse, which only happens to 1% of wild killer whales.”
