Indonesia is home to the world's last remaining travelling dolphin circuses. Over 72 bottlenose and stenella dolphins are kept in the most appalling of conditions to preform for audiences across island of Java. The animals are frequently hauled out of their plastic performing pools and loaded into the back of trucks along with other animals as the circuses move from town to town. The transportation is so stressful for the animals that many of the dolphins die due to this stress and lack of proper care.
Three separate companies still run travelling dolphin shows on the main Indonesian island of Java: WSI, Taman Safari Indonesia and Ancol. Together they hold an estimated 72 dolphins in captivity. Most of these animals are constantly 'on the road' but WSI also has a holding facility where more dolphins are kept to replace the animals that die on a regular basis. From the start of the campaign the circus owned by Wersut Seguni Indonesia (WSI) has been of special interest to activists.
This is what is was found at the Travelling Dolphin Circus being run by Wersut Seguni Indonesia (WSI) across Indonesia. The circus claim to have rescued these dolphins but in fact the dolphins are captured from the wild at around $200-300 each.
Indonesia is the only country where this cruel "entertainment" continues. We can stop this, if we pressure companies to stop their support for the circus. That means supermarkets like Ramayana and regional governments in Java to stop providing space.
For Surabaya people, now please take a look & find the truth about the dolphin abuse & cruelty on Delta plaza parking lot. WSI held the travelling dolphin show there. It's pathetic for us to see them attract us with their acrobatic & magnificent skills, but behind that, they suffer in pain.
So, what do you think guys? Yay or Nay? u guys choose :)
