“Why Do So Many Baby Dolphins Die In Captivity?,” an article on The Dodo, examines why these young dolphins die despite the fact that they are “protected” (as officials at these facilities claim) from the harsh and unpredictable threats faced by those living in the wild. AWI’s marine mammal scientist, Dr. Naomi Rose observes: “The industry can’t have it both ways—either captivity is a protected environment and therefore deaths of young animals should be a rare occurrence and only because of something unusual… or else whenever a young dolphin dies, it’s just a ‘normal part of life.’” thedo.do/10o4kOv
