Images and information of animals captured in a dolphin park in Antalya, which makes their cruelty visible, were reported. Images showing the dolphins’ extremely poor living conditions were presented to the public by the Animal Rights Watch.
Do you remember the whale named Kiska, who was captured in an aquarium in Canada, that came to the fore on social media a few months ago? Kiska spent 42 years of her 44-year life in captivity. After the death of her 5 cubs and her friends, she lived alone in a concrete tank for 10 years. In those days, we all watched with pain and anger the moments when Kiska tried to commit suicide by hitting her head against the wall, who was ‘naturally’ depressed.
Unfortunately, Kiska, whose psychology deteriorated in the area where she was imprisoned, is not alone. caged in every animal lives and feels the same things. Another example of this incident, which was revealed a few months ago, took place in Turkey today. What happened in a dolphin park in Antalya was shared with the public by the Animal Rights Watch Committee (JUDGE).
Dolphins exhibited in aquariums have their teeth extracted
Animal Rights Watch’s statement begins with a first-hand account of a captive dolphin. I wish we lived in a world where we don’t have to put ourselves in their shoes in order to understand what happened and to prevent injustice. But animals are just like us humans. can feel In order to remind that they are living things, we describe a dolphin’s experience in an aquarium as stated by the JUDGE:
“I’m Ada. I was held captive by people in Antalya, Kemer Moonlight Dolphin Park. I am compelled to ‘show, swim with and entertain’ people who come to visit this place. While swimming with people or during training, I showed an instinctive reaction and pulled my teeth so that I wouldn’t bite anyone, the structure of my jaw deteriorated. Those who look at my facial expression that looks like I’m smiling and think that I’m happy are wrong. Here I am a prisoner and tortured…”
Take a closer look at Ada, whose jaw structure has deteriorated
While it is unacceptable to keep animals captive for whatever reason, these creatures; completely in zoos, circuses, aquariums or dolphin parks. commercial returns are legally imprisoned. With each passing moment until the end of their life, the pain they are subjected to increases exponentially.
The island and many more are being held captive in such “puddles” when they should be swimming freely in the seas. Moreover, the animals are here to delight and entertain visitors. starvingHe makes a habit of doing certain actions by being conditioned by food. As can be seen in the photographs sent with the notice sent to the JUDGE, these animals are imprisoned in narrow polluted pools where a healthy life is not possible. Life in these areas turns into torture for them.
Each captive animal exhibits abnormal repetitive behaviors (forward and backward steps, rocking, etc.) due to the stress it has experienced. The act of repeating the same action that seems to be without reason is the cause of the persecution here. the biggest proof creates. Just like a brown bear in a zoo in Antalya, a wolf in a zoo in Istanbul Çekmeköy, a whale in an aquarium in Canada… Another dolphin imprisoned in an aquarium in Kemer suffered from stress. head to the tiles shoots.
Animal Rights Monitoring Committee will file a criminal complaint to the Office of the Chief Public Prosecutor upon this reported situation; Announced that they will request inspection from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry and the Ministry of Health.
