Mexico recently banned dolphin breeding in captivity, as well as keeping dolphins in concrete tanks, forcing them to perform tricks, and allowing people to touch them in “swim with dolphins” experiences. But these animals still need a sanctuary—one where they can swim freely in large ocean areas while receiving the care they need for as long as necessary.
In nature, dolphins live in close-knit pods and can swim up to 60 miles a day. In confinement, they’re denied everything that makes life meaningful. With 80% of the country’s dolphinariums located in Quintana Roo, the region has a unique opportunity to lead the way.
Urge officials to create Mexico’s first dolphin sanctuary—so these intelligent, social beings can finally live with joy and dignity.
