I’ve just learned that they kill adult dolphins and steal their babies so they can be trained for those “Swim with the Dolphin” events at marine parks and exclusive resorts.

World-renowned wildlife photographer and founder of Sea Legacy conservation group has a truly horrifying video of one of these dolphin hunts on his Instagram site.

It’s truly horrific and barbaric to watch.

Please boycott these events and spread the word to help end this cruelty.  Thanks.

No thanks. I'm not watching a horrific barbaric video. If you can find other sources that confirm this, please post.  I googled and did not find anything confirming this claim. [/quote]

Wow.  Legit and internationally-respected group, [b]The Dolphin Project,  is the source of this video.[/b]  You don’t have to watch the video —but to deny these drive hunts to corner and kill the adult dolphins and steal their babies is despicable.  The evidence is right there.

This was not included in the OP.  Just a link, which I was NOT going to watch did not indicate the source. [/quote]

I am OP.  The link was to Instagram page of Paul Nicklen, world-renowned wildlife photographer.  It had description of dolphin hunts and you could choose whether to watch it or not.  All the source info from The Dolphin Project was listed in his description.  You didn’t even read it.

I would never ride dolphins but if you’re going to post such a dire warning you should include more information. A lot of animal lovers like myself are not going to watch horrific footage of animals being abused. Do you literally put a link up and you didn’t say it would take you to a landing page. A lot of people, like myself, may think that it takes you directly to awful video. [/quote]

Point taken.  But you shouldn’t assume that proper credit from the video source, The Dolphin Project, wasn’t given.  [/quote]
