Dolphins, whales and other cetaceans will therefore no longer be able to be kept in captivity, but unfortunately the law has no retroactive value.
Good news comes from Canada where Parliament has passed a law banning the future breeding and reproduction of marine mammals. Dolphins, whales and other cetaceans will therefore no longer be able to be kept in captivity, but unfortunately the law has no retroactive value.
We could call it a half victory because the animals that currently live in water parks Marineland to Niagara Falls and the Vancouver Aquarium, they will continue to stay there, in tiny pools to suffer by jumping the circle or playing with a ball.
Animal rights activists have welcomed the law especially in terms of a ban on captive breeding. We talked about it a few years ago, but after the approval of Parliament, now only the consent of Queen Elizabeth is needed, but the parliamentarians say they are optimistic.
On the other hand, there has been strong public pressure, most Canadians want to put an end to this practice of keeping dolphins, whales, killer whales and other cetaceans in captivity. With the approval of the add S-203 there will therefore be a good step forward for the protection of these splendid animals and we hope that this ban will also reach other countries.
