Free the Dolphins! Help Get Them Out of Marine Parks

The ocean > a concrete tank or makeshift lagoon. Just ask the dolphins trapped in marine parks across the U.S.

Dolphins in marine parks often suffer from stress, disease, and health issues. Is it any wonder why? These smart, social animals should be swimming up to 60 miles per day with their loved ones in the sea, not forced to perform or interact with humans in tiny tanks or makeshift lagoons. 💔

While the Miami Seaquarium shut down after more than 50 years of imprisoning animals, other marine parks still exploit dolphins for “entertainment.” Some of these parks took dolphins from their ocean homes decades ago, while others use dolphins as breeding machines, sometimes forcibly impregnating them. 😰

These dolphins are desperate—but we can help get them released into open waters or relocated to seaside sanctuaries where they can live in big parts of the ocean while still getting the care they need.
