dolphin captivity

Dolphin captivity involves keeping dolphins in controlled environments like aquariums or marine parks, where they are kept for public display, entertainment, or research. While these facilities aim to provide care and conserve species, some argue captivity can impact dolphins’ natural behaviors, social structures, and well-being. Dolphins are highly intelligent, social animals that thrive in large, complex environments, making captivity a contentious issue. Proper management, enrichment, and rescue efforts can help ensure their health, but ongoing debates focus on whether captivity is ethical given their needs and natural behaviors.
