Dolphins in captivity

Dolphins in captivity are marine mammals kept in artificial environments like aquariums or marine parks, rather than in the wild. They are often trained for entertainment, educational shows, or research. While captivity can provide a safe habitat and medical care, it limits their natural behaviors, social structures, and migration patterns. Many experts and animal advocates argue that confinement can impact dolphin welfare, raising concerns about stress, health issues, and the ethics of keeping highly intelligent creatures confined for human entertainment.
