Can you swim with dolphins while pregnant at Seaworld?
Can you swim with dolphins while pregnant at Seaworld? Pregnant women will probably want to pass on the dolphin encounter, but a plunge into one of the other saltwater pools can be very invigorating. The natural buoyancy of saltwater will help take the excess weight off your joints; you may want to float the day away when you visit Discovery Cove during pregnancy.
How does SeaWorld get their dolphins?
SEAWORLD SAYS Most of our dolphins were born at SeaWorld. (80% of the marine mammals at our parks were born in human care.) We don't have any dolphins or whales from the drive hunts in Japan.
Are dolphins treated well at SeaWorld?
SeaWorld often keeps dolphins, whales, and other animals trapped with incompatible tankmates. The tension leads to fights and even fatal injuries. Staff members drug some animals to try to relieve their endless frustration.
Why did SeaWorld stop feeding the dolphins?
The Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society and Humane Society of the US issued a report on the topic as early as 2003, pointing out that feeding throughout the day by members of the public led to both obese and underweight dolphins, because some animals would become more aggressive than others.
