Micha and Tom the dolphins recently brought in for the “Swim with Dolphins” exhibit in the middle of a city block in Hisaronu, Turkey.

The International Humane Society reports that these types of events allow dolphins to be “commercially exploited”, and pose an immediate threat to the safety of the human and animal participants.

This is a residential area with homes.

This tank is smaller than a tennis pool; taken from the wild, they bob up and down all day as if they are looking for their home.

Its a sad thing to see these dolphins in a tiny little pool.
The fact that they may never see their home again is against nature.
They are intelligent and deserve to be set free.
I hope they very best for Micha and Tom, and I also hope that swim with the Dolphins park in Turkey closes forever!
