We citizens are demanding the closure of the last dolphinarium in Nuremberg and Duisburg. To keep dolphins in small tanks and force them to perform tricks is wrong humanely and in any case. Dolphins in captivity with painful methods forced to learn

Translation.....


In dolphinariums dolphins are kept in appropriate conditions in any case! Captive dolphins are herded into small pools, which are often only a few meters long and wide. Usually dolphins swim in the wild, up to 150 kilometers per day and dive up to 300 meters deep. In captivity, this is impossible! Dolphins also have a very good ear and a sonar that is used for the production and perception of ultrasonic sounds, among other things, serve to communicate among the animals. Through the hum of the pumps in the swimming pool and the music during the shows, the dolphins are exceedingly stressed. With the animals agonizing methods are taught the animals tricks and drummed. Former animal trainer to confirm that the animals are often denied food for this purpose, and to punish the dolphins are kept in solitary confinement! Dolphins are very social animals and intelligently expressed. In the wild the small whales swim with hundreds of their fellows together mostly by the oceans. Family units to remain a long life together. Again, this is possible at a zoo in any case! dolphin brains are very similar to humans. The U.S. researcher Lori Marino is even assumed that dolphins can be just as intelligent as humans. Even the great apes, they are far superior. These clever animals may in no case held captive and abused for animal shows featuring acrobatics, and swimming with the animals or dolphin therapies! It is slavery! Dolphins have a right to freedom! Dolphinariums must be banned! Many people say that they see the dolphins, how happy they are. Wrong! The "smile" of the dolphins is an illusion! The seemingly friendly face of the animals is their undoing. For the animals, the prisoner a large Tortour dar. bored torturing the animals, among other things. Only one of the many things listed above. Suicide attempts were often observed the animals! Mentally and physically, the animals have been a loss, even if it does not look at them. The mortality rate in zoos in Germany is shocking! In 40 years of breeding efforts in Europe there are not a single dolphin that has survived in its third generation. After long years of failed sustainable farming and more than 100 dolphins died alone in the zoo of Nuremberg and Duisburg (probably even more - the actual mortality rate is kept secret from the zoo) WE have to finally close the dolphin-demand systems! We need to stand up for animal rights, even if they can not speak! Nuremberg and Duisburg Zoo in Germany are the last, in which there are dolphin shows. They too must be closed! I myself am convinced of animal rights activist and really want to contribute something yourself for the protection of dolphins. It just is not right to keep the animals caught in dolphin shows! So we must all help together!

done. How cruel to confine these dolphins in such a tiny space. Not only do they suffer physically, but emotionally as well. Stick some humans in there for a while and see how they like it.
