Dolphins in Captivity: One Voice meets Marineland

Dolphins in Captivity: One Voice meets Marineland

Mis à jour le 07 August 2018

Following the procedure initiated by Marineland before the State Council against the dolphinarium decree, One Voice wishes to speak out. The fate of dolphins in captivity should not be put into question!

Last May, after several years of fighting and working with the Environment Ministry, One Voice obtainedthe ban on the reproduction of dolphins and their transfer between dolphinariums. But on July 6th, the Marineland Park filed an appeal against this order to request a review.

France does not have an independent administrative authority to protect the rights and freedoms of animals. One Voice intends to defend their rights to freedom and lead a life worthy of that name, according to their needs and desires.

Marineland's arguments will not deceive anyone. Who benefits from the reproduction of dolphins in captivity, if not specifically the private companies motivated by profit, such as dolphinariums and their shareholders, because this helps to sustain their trade?

Dolphins suffer precisely from captivity, which flouts their family and social ties, and denies their biological and psychological needs. The authorisation of the reproduction and exchange of dolphins between dolphinariums amounts to inducing a chronic suffering on these gregarious and intelligent animals.

It is indeed curious that Marineland did not worry about the well-being of the orcas when it announced it was stopping the reproduction of the latter. How would that be different for dolphins?

According to the dolphinarium, the minister would not be competent to make this decree that she did not validate, however her competence was not put into question when the matter of taking an order deciding the end of the detention of orcas arose!

It is still the same park that holds polar bears in sunny enclosures and claims to anyone who wants to hear it that they live there like fish in water...

One Voice will do its utmost to ensure that the order is maintained without concessions. Too many dolphins have already suffered.

on est censé etre évolué mais au vue de tout ça ou est- elle,cette évolution!!!! il faut arrêter maintenant ce genre de spectacle dégradant pour les animaux qui ne leur offre que des prisons,seul le fric compte c'est apparemment ce que l' on laisse comme héritage a nos enfants,l'empathie n'est qu'une insulte pour certaines personnes....je préfère de loin montrer à mes enfants des émissions éducative sur la "vraie"vie des animaux en liberté!!!!! mon rêve est de voir des dauphins,même les toucher,mais ce sera dans la mer en liberté ou rien!!!!!ce n'est que de la poudre aux yeux juste pour attirer les enfants!!!!!stop a ses soit- disant spectacles!!!!!

Au lieu de les parquer, observons les en liberté, ils sont tellement beaux et nous avons tant à apprendre d'eux. Alors un peu de respect, d'humilité. retrouvons notre coeur dans notre humanité!
