Around the world, more than 3,000 dolphins are used as entertainers.
World Animal Protection has been working to educate the public on the problem of keeping dolphins and marine animals in captivity since 1991. We work in partnership with others to protect sea life around the world.
Love dolphins? Don't buy a ticket.
The commercial success of these programs is the driving force behind a sharp rise in dolphin captures from the wild.
Join our global community
Defend dolphins by taking our pledge to only see dolphins in the wild - where they belong.
Across the world, wild animals are captured, taken from their natural habitats or bred in captivity, and suffer a lifetime of cruelty and abuse.
Whether it is riding elephants, taking selfies with tigers, or performing dolphin shows, these activities can cause lifelong suffering for wild animals.
Why? People love to see animals when they are on holiday.
And because demand for animals in the entertainment industry is so high, these animals continue to be used and abused for profit in ever increasing numbers.
Please pledge to be an animal friendly traveller, and together, we can show the travel industry just how many people won’t stand for wild animal cruelty.
