Whenwill this stop? It makes me go crazy that governments do nothing to protect animals from exploitation and sufferinf by companies that want to just earn more, more, more.

Goverments don't seem to think of any kind of animal as feeling pain. When are humans going to stop all this ill treatment of animals. It is time to put a stop to it. Noted. Thanks.

Thanks Claudia, sadly noted.

NO ANIMAL SHOULD BE USED TO MAKE MONEY OR EXPLOIT, period!

It's idiots like these folks make me sick to think they are near our dolphins and hurting them, not mention using them for their own pleasure.

Great article as usually my friend Claudia, thankyou for always caring so much about our marine life, You Rock!

Let's try to do something about it, maybe write the govt. there or something? I will help, let me know...thanks.

Bless you all & all our creatures of this planet,

This is no surprise at all! Dubai is not known what so ever about respecting animals! On the other hand Atlantis surprises me just a little! If we could get this out there they would think twice about it! The protests alone would make the people more aware! Many people would not stay at their Resorts! Thank you dear Claudia! Noted!

Noted. But this is cruel, these people are supposed to be professionals at that! People are just flat out evil these days.

Noted with sadness for the Dolphins. Thanks Claudia.

They showed some of the celebrities at the opening party on TV here last night, saying how wonderful it all is; none of them seem to understand the significance of the cruelty in depriving the Dolphins of their freedom and natural habitat of the ocean. They get way too much money and but lack respect and compassion for other species!

This is shameful. Kylie Minogue and all the rich, selfish party-goers who think of nothing other than their own pleasure are complicit in this crime against the dolphins and other marine life in that aquarium.

When we as human beings capture an animal we take our own freedom away. With every captured, tortured, killed, removed animal on our planet we set our own selves up for "EXTINCTION"......
