What great news. Go, you good things. Maybe Croatia can provide the light out of the darkness for all the rest who abuse animals in the name of frivolous human entertainment.

I'm glad to see that countries are starting to pass legislation to protect animals, but they also have to enforce them!

Maybe banning the captivity of dolphins will help stop the massacre of 23,000 dolphins every year in Taiji, Japan, where dolphins are captured for use as entertainment in oceanariums and water parks. I think places like Ocean World should be closed and the dolphins set free. Dolphins and whales are way too intelligent and sensitive to be kept in captivity for silly humans.

Good on Croatia and I hope others follow suit.
