Is swimming with dolphins ethical

Swimming with dolphins is completely unethical. Animals are kept in cramped tanks or pools of water when, as in the wild, dolphins swim about 60 miles a day.

You can show compassion and love for dolphins by not supporting swimming with dolphins.

In addition, dolphins develop problems such as stomach ulcers due to the high levels of stress in captivity. Also, visitors can transmit infections and diseases to animals: viruses, fungal diseases, bacterial infections.

In an article titled "If You Love Dolphins, Don't Ever Pay to Swim With Them," it is said that baby dolphins are taken from their mothers in the wild, killing the female in the process.

Dolphins that have been "tamed" by man are susceptible to sunstroke and burns, deprivation of food, forced isolation and death due to self-mutilation.
