Most dolphins in captivity don’t live as long as wild dolphins – with many reaching just half the age of their wild counterparts.
There are many factors that contribute to this – from the stress of tank living to the constant shows and training, as well as sub-par living conditions in many unregulated parks.
We have to remember that this short life span occurs in an environment where the dolphins have access to human health care and medicine that wild dolphins do not.
These numbers simply show that there is nothing healthy about captivity, no matter how many health checks the animal receives.
