Roller coasters. Bumper cars. Dolphins in concrete tanks. One of these does not belong at Six Flags.

Dolphins at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in California are trapped in tiny tanks and forced to perform tricks for crowds. 💔

In the park’s swim-with-dolphins encounters, the animals are touched, grabbed, and held onto by strangers. This constant handling can cause stress, illness, and injury. During shows, trainers may stand on their faces and grab onto their fins. 🚩🚩🚩 That’s a massive red flag, Six Flags.

Dolphins can swim up to 60 miles per day and should be roaming the ocean with their families. Please urge Six Flags to commit to not breeding dolphins and to releasing the surviving dolphins into their ocean homes or sending them to seaside sanctuaries!

I was disappointed to learn that Six Flags Discovery Kingdom confines dolphins for shows and dangerous interactions, despite knowing how much they suffer in tiny tanks. Dolphins deserve to be in the ocean, not exploited for profit.

Dolphins’ complex needs can’t be met in concrete tanks. These highly intelligent and social animals should be swimming miles every day in the ocean, not being forced to leap through the air during loud shows, pushing trainers through the water, and being grabbed by visitors.

Marineland Antibes in France, Marineland Canada, and the Miami Seaquarium have all closed their doors, and Epcot at Walt Disney World ended its use of dolphins. Nearly every major online travel company, including Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia, and TripAdvisor, prohibits ticket sales to venues that offer dolphin interactions or performances, and TripAdvisor even flags Discovery Kingdom as “does not meet animal welfare guidelines.”

Please commit to not breeding or acquiring any more dolphins, evaluating the surviving dolphins for potential release into their ocean homes, and sending the others to seaside sanctuaries.
