World Animal Protection US’ Statement on the Death of Jett the Dolphin

The death of Jett, a bottlenose dolphin, marks the FOURTH death of dolphins in under a year at Gulf World Marine Park! This venue and the rest of the captive dolphin industry need to stop breeding dolphins for profit, otherwise these deaths will continue. Dolphins are charismatic and social beings who deserve more than a lifetime in unnatural and cruel conditions. Entertaining tourists is not a justification for their suffering.
