Give The Belugas Peace And Quiet!
posted on June 6, 2009
As any pregnant person could relate to, the belugas should be given peace and quiet. The Vancouver Aquarium should not tell hundreds of people to go there and gawk at them from a few metres away. That is stressful and cruel.
Boycotting the Aquarium captive dolphin programs will give this mom and her newborn some privacy so they can bond without all the human distractions. At this early stage in a baby's life they need the seclusion and privacy to properly bond. Even Whale Watch Tours give moms and babies from 100 to 400 metres. Boycotting this aquarium circus would also help stop the future exploitation of other dolphins.
The Aquarium should have a live video hookup so people can watch from the Aquarium theatre or at home. Millions of people wordwide could watch without intruding upon the belugas. This has been done with eagles and other wildlife living freely in the wild. The same ethical considerations should be extended to captive dolphins.
They are dangling the birth in front of the public to pay and see. That is irresponsible. They should stop trying to profit financially and provide privacy.
At least 35 dolpins have died at the Vancouver Aquarium since 1964. They must stop the suferring. They must stop the imprisonment.
