They provide a truly critical service to marine life, and I do not believe they mistreat the animals in their care.
If you read about Dolphins, you know that they are extremely smart and social. They truly enjoy interacting with people. Sadly, the Baltimore aquarium recently ended their dolphin educational programs. Now you just see them swimming around or hanging out. Dirty little secret: while they ended the public educational programs (to appease the misguided critics), they most certainly did not end their training and interactions. How could they? How cruel would it be to stop engaging them and playing with them? They now do it after hours. So, what's the point?
