Kids Want To Know - Dolpins in Captivity
Dolphins who live in captivity are given plenty of food, attention, medical care and treatment, and plenty of room to swim, jump, play, and interact with other dolphins. They are treated as family - not as a pet. They are loved, admired, praised, and taught all with care and tenderness. In addition, any problems that may arise during the dolphin's captivity are addressed immediately and until the problem has been resolved completely.
So, to answer your question Victoria, no, it does not hurt the dolphins to live in captivity. In fact, there are some who thrive in captivity when they would have died otherwise.
