During the ‘In the water with dolphins’ program, visitors can touch the dolphins, perform tricks and have their picture taken with them. Bite Back finds this unacceptable. Actions against dolphinariums are taking place worldwide this weekend, including in Japan, South Africa and Mexico. In Bruges, activists informed visitors about the fate of the seven dolphins still in the dolphinarium. They used banners, flyers and conversations with passers-by to draw attention to the welfare of marine mammals in captivity.
