Sea World Stands by Dolphin Breeding
Sea World is now the only place in Australia breeding dolphins in captivity. The RSPCA says it must stop but the park says parenthood is good for its dolphins.
When a small NSW tourist park volunteered last year to stop breeding dolphins, Sea World suddenly found itself alone.
The Queensland attraction is now the only one in Australia breeding dolphins in captivity, something the RSPCA says cannot be justified and should be outlawed.
But Sea World has no plans to halt its managed breeding program, saying it makes an enormous contribution to the welfare of the dolphins it keeps.
A PROTEST by animal rights activists outside a popular Gold Coast theme park has been dubbed a fizzer by the park s boss. The Animal Justice Party and Dolphin Freedom Fighters were among several organisations who held a protest to ban dolphin breeding opposite Sea World on Saturday. Animal Liberation Queensland executive director Chay Neal, Animal Justice Party MP Emma Hurst and World Animal Protection head of campaigns Ben Pearson led a protest to ban dolphin breeding at Sea World on the Gold Coast on Saturday.

Ninety-plus protesters held signs and chanted to boycott Sea World who they accuse of breeding dolphins to perform humiliating circus-style tricks for a dwindling number of spectators to make a profit.
