Tell uShaka Sea World to RETIRE dolphins Gambit and Frodo

Tell uShaka Sea World to: RETIRE wild caught dolphins Gambit and Frodo. After performing for 36 and 33 years, it’s cruel to continue to exploit them. DESIST additional peak periods shows/night shows. STOP functions with electronic music after 8pm. ENSURE animals not disturbed after hours & have clearly defined day and night times. STOP photo & meet programmes and the touching & kissing of animals. Dolphins not to be asked to beach themselves for photographs. STOP artificial insemination and all captive breeding programmes.

Take cognisance of the inherent cruelty of keeping the 11 dolphins in captivity in a facility totally unlike their natural environment and displaying them in circus like circumstances and exposing them to prolonged periods of noise and activity. STRANDED ANIMALS - ONLY practice rehabilitation and release. Tell uShaka we don’t need any further mammals in captivity to be educated or entertained.

Why this is important?

The dolphins and seals at uShaka Sea World are used to earn an income for SAAMBR under the guise of educating the public. Shows extend to night shows. Public are encouraged to touch and kiss the animals and have photos taken where dolphins are required to beach themselves. All night parties featuring techno and electronic music are deemed as not disturbing and are allowed. We believe entertainment should not include the use of wild animals.
