Pepina, Donna, Daisy taken June 2009 at Zoo Duisburg. Do not steal my photos. Did you know... -That today most dolphins in zoos were born there? -That the EU and USA do not capture or import dolphins from the wild anymore and strongly oppose the dolphin slaughter in Japan and Faroer Islands? -That bottlenose dolphins live about 10-25 years in the wild, hardly reaching an age of 30 or more, while bottlenose dolphins in zoos can live up to 50 years, often reaching ages of 30 - 40, simply because they do not have to fight/search for food and because vets take care of them? -That thousands of dolphins die each year in slaughters by Japan/other countries but that about A MILLION die each year accidently caught in fishing nets? -(This is for the activists ) That dolphins are living beings just like other animals and thus do not only give birth but also get sick and die some day? It just happens because - well they are not immortal...
