A shocking new report confirms that animal abuse and cruelty are everpresent at the Miami Seaquarium.

According to the report, the dolphins at the facility were underfed and deprived of food to ensure they would perform for guests. They found that nine dolphins’ daily food rations were cut by 60 percent, and one dolphin lost over 100 pounds. There is no reason that this abusement park should stay open.

The amusement park, which opened in 1955, has long had the nickname of “abusement park” and is built on exploiting intelligent marine animals for profit. The torment, imprisonment, and artificial breeding of their animals need to end. These animals should not be in captivity, to begin with.

The Miami Seaquarium has proven time and time again that they do not care about the wellbeing of their animals and the facility needs to be shut down for good.
