I have no problem passing judgement on people who swim with captive dolphins.
They are either ill informed or they are cruel, simple as that.
The link anada has posted has all the info I need from experts who actually know what they are talking about, not just someone who went to see and saw that they looked happy and well.
I don't agree with it ANYWHERE, not just in Bali.
I have often seen dolphins in the wild where they choose to interact, near my home in Victoria, in other parts of Australia and Asia and in Lovina and it is the sort of experience we should be giving our children.
dolphins should have the freedom of the oceans and seas, not a concrete pond however deep.
my opinion, and I won't stop giving it whenever this subject comes up.
